Title: PA The Wacky Races
Post by: dinohunterpoa on March 14, 2017, 03:34:37 PM: Mark Sexton (co-writer and storyboard artist of Mad Max: Fury Road) was asked to re-imagine cars from Wacky Races, Fury Road style. Turned out pretty well!

These are great re-imaginings.

I really like these Mad Max style versions of them too, if anything they get better the further you scroll down.

It would be great with LEGO:

And Artizan's Dick Dastardly is just perfect:

Post by: Hobby Services on March 18, 2017, 05:08:35 PM: Those are genius. I especially like the concept behind the Army Surplus Special. Spare tracks would be hard to come by post-apocalypse, especially for a Sherman from WW2.
