Don't want to hijack anyone else's thread so here's a place to post pictures of your Gasland conversions. I'm looking for inspiration.
I've only got two cars completed so far, one inspired by the classic Mad Max Interceptor (with added flames).

And a pick up truck with a similar paint scheme and swappable weapons held on with magnets.

Those are awesome,the pick up really gives out a Dark future style vibe to it.

This is The Whaler which I did for another game, but will be using it for Gaslands as soon as it arrives:

Nice stuff.
I like the last vehicle, though it needs to avoid low bridges.
-
Two more cars finished. These ones have magnetised weapons and/or rams and can be configured differently.

Matchbox MB941 Jungle Crawler (which can be found in several variants) with added guns and wire mesh to replace the windows. It's got magnets in place on the roof and underneath the front and rear ends. I'll be working on weapons and a ram to fit. Though you can never go far wrong with a Mini-gun and a turret with a flamer could be good. (the turret comes from a Plastic Soldier Company 15mm T34, you get two for every tank).

A Matchbox MB958 Roar By Four with a magnetic roof and mesh added. I still need to make some more swappable weapons to fit the roof mount.

I haven't heard of Gaslands, but armed racers I have.
Here's some of them.

I've put a bar on the front of the Jungle Crawler and painted up a Mercedes estate car.

And a couple of vans with turrets. At 18 points a flamethrower in a turret is rather expensive for a three shot weapon, but it follows the rules of cool and carnage.

Nice work!

These are great! What are you guys using for the mesh on the windows and windshield?

Can't remember exactly where I got mine, but stuff like this:

And here's a tank-like vehicle:

Will look for a States equivalent. Thanks!

For the Aluminum mesh if your in the States then Hobby Lobby has a few options.
Check out their clay sculpting aisle.
Also, Tulle is in their bolts of cloth section. It inst aluminum but it has its use as well. chain link fences for example. Had a few other ideas as well.

I cannablised a few cheap bird feeders years ago for the mesh. lol

Great work here! Hoping to join you all soon, picked up the vehicles but backlogged with other projects.
Would love to hear more about your various methods for weapon attachment, especially magnetized mounting... e.g. how do you ensure a high-strength rare earth mag won’t rip off either component AND looks integrated with small weapons atop it?
-
Not for Garlands, but here they are:

@derekh - that's brilliant! !!
Here's my first vehicle i did after watching fury road chrome edition and will be using for gaslands

I superglue the magnets into holes drilled in 1mm plastic card. I've never had any problem with magnets coming loose.
Getting things to look integrated can be a problem.

Here's a dodge dart i did a few months ago.

I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out and am working on another.

I realise that this is an old thread but Derek, if you are still out there listening, could I please ask, what scale vehicles do you start out with and where do you buy the models? I'm assuming eBay but is there a particular seller which is very good?
