The "I haven't got time to do a Mad Max project" thread. UPDATE 19th Oct.

I just happened to find a pile of mainly hot wheels cars in Poundland



...and then lined them all up...



Any suggestions for 20mm mini's? Esp. looking for motorbikes, and vehicle crew. Pref. from folk who bought some, and liked them.

Apocalypse minis have bikes

Based in Australia eh? 

I had a look on their site and found the punks which I quite liked, but couldn't find bikes.

Stan Johanssen currently makes bikes and peds in 20mm

LOL bloody iPad - we have done on ebay

Our own we will put on our website a week Monday when I am off work. YIPPEEEEE

This was the only non-diecast I bought, because I liked the windows



and after about an hour it looked like this, although I have gone and put the missing rivet on...


The Hotwheels are diecast so I can see they'll be more long-winded as you have to drill out the rivets to get inside. This makes a good Nux proxy.

Great starts Phil! Cant wait to see how they both turn out with paint and stuff!

My version of the peacemaker so far:

Thanks, two hotwheels hacked and married.

And these two...

[Too Bo Coo]

Love em! 

[LeadAsbestos]

They look great!

[6milPhil]

I'm making some wheels, seen below, suitable for both 20/28mm. They have a blank side for ease of casting, but typically that won't be seen.If anyone is interested in a set PM me please.



Also on the hotwheels front some handy videos...

Removing Rivets, probably the greatest time saver if you can get this right from the off.


Removing Paint


Cheap rust effect

[daemon-forge]

love this one. great concept.

[6milPhil]

Thanks.

Not sure what to add to this aside from a spike on the nose.


Another Hot Rod from a range at Asda (Walmart) for a quid.

First sets of wheels cast.   These are flat on one side, but that's typically hidden.

The medium wheels, with the biggest being dia:25mm width 11mm and the smallest dia:17mm width 6mm.





The BIG wheels dia:36mm width 17mm, these roughly the same amount of resin in a pair of these as there is in the whole set above.





If anyone would like some PM me, they're £4 a set - P&P at cost, etc.
