Did some quick conversions for a car to playtest Lon Teal's new 1930's car wars rules. They are designed to go with the jalopies Eureka miniatures are producing, but the one I am interested in using is still waiting to be cast, so I used one of their driver's and a matchbox car I found at a market yesterday.

Decked out for battle

Looks very cool indeed! Well done

Eureka have some really boss cars to add to this and may be adding more in future.
-
That car looks sweet,driver fits just right.

Yes, the Eureka cars are the inspiration behind this. They include gunner seats with swivel gun mounts and a nice range of drivers and gunners. I was going to try and modify a WW1 fighter to make a funky car, but found the toy instead. There is a cool 3 wheel "bike" I want to get when it is released.
I couldn't find pics of them on the Eureka website yet, but found a few examples on the Tabletop fix blogspot

I'm doing some work for Eureka on that line right now and I can tell you there is a lot more cool stuff coming. (I should start a topic on that actually) A very cool and appropriate car you found to use along them though. Any place I could find those rules? I'd love to know what rules go along with the models I'm designing. :D

A work in progress at the moment.

As are many of the cars, but if there is going to be any particular features in those rules I might actually end up modeling them on the cars. :D

I agree the car and driver look awesome.
-
Very nice. The background suits the mood too.
-
Good looking car.
I like the idea of getting a WW I aircraft fuselage and converting into a car!
-
I have a copy knocking about PM me and remind me.
Adam send me a version already, but thanks for the offer. :D

;)
-
Well just to add some food for thought !
This week I'm building these ;)

I reckon the guy in the back seat gets his hat blown off the moment that thing starts up. :D

PLaytest of our rules - using a car-racing scenario where the cars need to pass four markers on the gameboard and return back to the starting line. Freelancer's car has a front-facing gun only, but it certainly does a lot of damage when it hits!

I spotted some other bits which appear familiar there. :D
The turn gauge looks good, Though I could see it being a hassle in tight spaces between tall terrain. Then again any measuring would be in such a situation.
-
You all laughed when I took off from the starting line at a snails pace, but you fell for my dastedly plan!
-
That plan being: "shoot them in the back"? :D

Especially when you use the terrain to stop your power-slides like I did. lol

We'll have a look at the turn gauge - maybe something perspex will work...

Hmmm...I don't remember that. I remember you cutting off the 'Sydney Workers' Collective' security truck before they even got going!

Now this I DO remember. ;)

At least no propellers to fire through :)
