Scenery sites for modding plastic cars?

[crackedfather]

Are there any sites out there with tips on converting toy vehicles into post-apoc style ones? Tried googling, but ended up looking on some very strange sites! Any help'd be great.

My tip would be: Get a die-cast car in the right scale, hit it several times with a large hammer, stick it to a M.D.F. base with a hot glue gun, add rubble to taste, fill any large holes between car and base with putty, add sand and glue to taste, let stand (now is a good time to watch Mad Max or Resident Evil 3 or whatever...), spray black, paint to ability...Voila!

Duh! Just re-read the original post...what you want are actual Post-a vehicles...Ramschacle Games has some pretty cool conversion stuff and fairly priced. Other than that I'd just stick plasti-card over windows and add spikey bits...possibly a flamethrower...and a guy with a mohawk in assless chaps would also tickle my fancy.  :oops:

I know lots of folks don't like to join Yahoo Groups, but ...

Autoduelin' on I-64 is a Yahoo Group dedicated to gaming with diecast cars.  There are lots of pics of modded cars to include many "how I did it" articles:

Not as much of a tip on how to do it, but here's a link to my very first car-conversion:

I'm still planning to do others, so I might just do a follow up article on the how-to's in the near future
(And yes, I'm painfully aware that my blog has been silent for far too long  :cry:)

The easiest thing is to get a lot og 'bitz' or 'gubbins' or whatever you'd like to call them and find suitable areas to glue the stuff on the vehicle in question. Once its all assembled, hit with your undercoat of choice and paint away.

Of course, that's the easiest route; I'm working on making the vehicles actually have the 'bolted on with tape and gum' look. Stay tuned

Cool, thanks guys!
