Title: Mad Max Vehicle Contest (pictures of finished entry (with mild gore))
Post by: Zafarelli on April 12, 2011, 07:05:16 PM

There is this Mad Max Car Competetion (http://massivevoodoo.blogspot.com/2011/01/mvs-mad-max-car-competition-2011.html) underway (I think I mentioned it somewhere in my truck thread). Anyway, I intend to take part in it with a conversion of the truck (http://pardulon-models.com/product_info.php/info/p136_All-Terrain-Tractor-Kroete-.html), so here are the first few pictures.

The basic setup, vehicle cluttered with bags, fuel drums and stuff. Harpoon and gunner's seat are scratchbuilt. A parasol will be mounted above the seat.

And the basic colour scheme, windows, weathering and everything else still to be done.

The catch is that the contest ends next Friday. We'll see  8)

Deliberately. I want a Mad Max I look rather than II or III, where society is still somewhat intact.

I wish I would have known about this contest sooner. I definitely would have entered. The Mad Max films are some of my favorites.

Beautiful, but not dirty enough. Post-apoc is always dirty, even Waterworld (despite being surrounded by water...). Use some red and black pastel dust to dirty up those wonderful flames you have done.

Still working on it - rust is already added (in fact, the slight irregularities around the edges are a masking medium with rust underneath. It is already rubbed off, so the rust shows through.), dirt will be added during the last stages when the model is already fixed to the base.

The organizers have just extended the deadline until Monday, which gives me the time to deliver at least something presentable 8)

Pedestal, right before priming:

I tried Sangennarus concrete method for the road, but my MDF seems to be considerably harder, so I had to revert to a rotating tool to make the cracks. The earth is Milliput, the wooden base is from www.sockelmacher.de (http://www.sockelmacher.de)

Thankfully, tomorrow is my day off, so I still have chance to finish this in time...

And the last WIP picture. I think I need to use the remaining few hours to paint instead of doodle on the internet...

Wow, i noticed just now about your wonderful piece!!

and i'm honoured about the mdf using! :) for the hardness: you just have to be patient, and pass with the tip many times, unless the  rift is done!

but the rotating tools looks perfect as well!


can i post a pic of your pieces on my site, when finished? =)

Great project! I like all the junk and clutter on the top..I don't think it needs the extra flaming paintjob as it's already pretty wild looking...though the paintjob is wonderful too. Good luck.

Done! 2.5 hours behind schedule, but the organizers have accepted it.

As you can see, even after the apocalypse, people still (try to) brake for animals ;D

Jack, feel free to use any pictures you like.
