1930's car wars
« on: September 05, 2016, 03:00:30 AM »
Did some quick conversions for a car to playtest Lon Teal's new 1930's car wars rules. They are designed to go with the jalopies Eureka miniatures are producing, but the one I am interested in using is still waiting to be cast, so I used one of their driver's and a matchbox car I found at a market yesterday.

Eureka have some really boss cars to add to this and may be adding more in future.

Yes, the Eureka cars are the inspiration behind this. They include gunner seats with swivel gun mounts and a nice range of drivers and gunners. I was going to try and modify a WW1 fighter to make a funky car, but found the toy instead. There is a cool 3 wheel "bike" I want to get when it is released.

I couldn't find pics of them on the Eureka website yet, but found a few examples on the Tabletop fix blogspot

I'm doing some work for Eureka on that line right now and I can tell you there is a lot more cool stuff coming. (I should start a topic on that actually) A very cool and appropriate car you found to use along them though. Any place I could find those rules? I'd love to know what rules go along with the models I'm designing.  :D

As are many of the cars, but if there is going to be any particular features in those rules I might actually end up modeling them on the cars.  :D

Very nice. The background suits the mood too.

Good looking car.

I like the idea of getting a WW I aircraft fuselage and converting into a car!

I reckon the guy in the back seat gets his hat blown off the moment that thing starts up.  :D
