Well I've tried to join that goup but doesn't look like I'm being accepted. I've also sent you a couple of PMs.

Sorry Mate, I'm the admin, I'll take care of it now. Yesterday was Thanksgiving and I've been cooking for three days now...

Just PM me, like I say I don't have a web store or anything as this isn't a business for me.

UPDATE: Apologies for the delay but I have the metal casts back from the caster now. They work out a bit more expensive than I originally estimated but if anyone is interested they'll be £3 per pack of 3 minis (postage not included) or I can give a bit of a discount on 3 packs for £8.50. Each pack constitutes the 3 minis from one theme, warguys, raiders or greasers. Just to clarify, I'm based in the UK but more than willing to post international which shouldn't be too expensive for standard postage (tracked and signed is quite a bit more though). If you are interested just PM me here, I don't have a website/store or anything, I can take payment by PayPal.

Last year I decided to do some post apocalyptic auto carnage gaming (I may have watched Fury Road around that time... ) using matchbox/hotwheels scaled diecasts. The lack of drivers for cars though meant most had to have armoured or otherwise covered windows and I found that the old Dark Future driver minis were neither common or all that cheap to pick up. I dabbled a bit in converting 1/72 historical minis but ultimately decided to commision a few minis of my own and have them cast up. It's taken a while to get to this point for various reasons but they're finally with the caster now.

The drivers are about the same size as DF minis but a bit less 'heroically' proportioned in terms of head size and chunkiness. They're two part as I wanted full minis usable as gunners or something as well and it's easy snip the legs to fit them into a car:

...and compared to a matchbox car:

I had the original sculptor (Mate Lavotha aka Zorro) make some variants in two distinct flavours. First are some War... uh guys... Apologies in advance for my crap photography:

Just for clarity, is that a standard sized MB/Hotwheels car, and do the drivers fit inside. The drivers look good, but with those interiors I wonder if the models are a tad too small for 1:72 scale figures? I hope not, I have a project these would be perfect for!

and some raider types:

I also made my own variants based on the original, some greasers for my hotrod type cars. I was pretty pleased with them and decided they were good enough to send off for casting along with the rest:

I'm not aiming to start a commercial venture but as with these types of personal projects I'll have extra available for sale to try and make back some costs. I don't have exact pricing yet but they'll be available in sets of 3, for each of the themes once I have casts back, if anyone's interested.
