Great looking vehicles! Nice work!

Cheers!

Red Max

Built from WW1 vintage parts the Red Max is a simple yet still formidable vehicle.  The twin Maxims provide decent firepower and the airship engine and simple wooden chassis kept the weight down.

Red Max size 2, armour 1, light gun, fixed mount, rapid fire, racer - 5 points

This thread is simple awesome and inspirational,it's like diesel punk meets dark future road wars 
I quite fancy doing similar but in the prohibition era with  tommy guns blazing away.

Cool!  Thanks Tony!  Some amazing bits of hardware there! Not helping me stop building though!

The inspiration for my cars is this Jap v8:


However, I'm so happy with the Navy land boat decking I'm tempted to make another...  Perhaps with a harpoon gun!
Need to find some navy crew now (pulp...?)

@3 fingers I'm not far off prohibition era, I'm aiming for late 1930's.

Always liked the images of the gangsters an molls blazing away,few street toughs ,a police squad,a Chinese gang masquerading as a laundry business

Do it!  If you are looking at 28mm then Rubicon have a Ford AAA truck in plastic on the way.

Your over complicating things.
A quiet rummage through the recycling and job done😁

The blog post was interesting Tony but not as interesting as the fact that you are a third-generation wargamer! It must be in the genes by now...an epigenetic wargamer...
