Not got round to buying the rules yet as lockdown means I'd have no-one to play with anyhow.
Saw some cars for £1 in Wilko so bought a few; along with the half dozen I picked up second hand for pennies I will have plenty to put together a few teams for post Covid meetups.
Here's the first of the Wilko cars, happy with my first attempt.

Looking good. As you have found its easy to pick up cars for Gaslands, you have done better than me at painting them up though!

Fairly simple paint job but before priming I create a bubbly rust effect on wheel arches and sills with thin superglue and a sprinkling of bicarb of soda - helps with the dry brushing.
Prime grey, paint base colours, wash with 40/40/20 nuln oil/aggrax earthshade/water, drybrush sand, drybrush silver (heavy where required, light on edges) then drybrush and stipple some areas with orange for rust.

Nice! What bits did you use?

Mostly from the Northstar Implements of Carnage sprue.
The front and rear window grills are plasterers scrim tape and the wheels are from an Anyscale models Jeep with axles made from old sprue frames.
-
And did you strip the original paint, or just primed on it?

Didn't strip the paint, just stuck on all the bits and primed the whole thing with Halfords grey car primer.
Then just a couple of hours to paint.

Very nice.

Some good looking conversions there. I also have that pickup which I've paint stripped ready for building.
-
Another excellent conversion.
-
Another conversion, this time using parts from 2 cars, plus some old sprue and Gaslands bits.
Avoided a full repaint this time as Uno was a family favourite when my kids were little.

Nice work.

Looking good! Is the red truck going to get the Gaslands treatment too?

The red truck provided the chassis and wheels for the build, albeit on new axles.

Awesome build!

You are getting an awesome little collection there. The UNO speedster is killer.

Is the body getting used? It'd look good on a set of chunky wheels, or maybe lowered. :)

It's still in the bits box so most likely will make an appearance at some point.

Picked up the old ruleset, laser etched templates, skid dice and tokens for a very reasonable price on here (thank you MagpieJono) so made another car today so I have 2 teams of 2 for me and my mate when lockdown ends (forgot to take a before pic but basically a front axle and changed wheels, glued on some armour and added a spare wheel - nothing fancy).
Have more cars lying around so may convert a few more and try to get others interested.
So we will have this car joining The Blue Brothers to battle against Team Uno.

I love that Mad Max vibe, great build!
