99% complete conversions - hot wheels (unless I change my mind again)

So I have mostly finished those WIP hot wheels conversion I showed earlier, I say mostly as I decided on a whim to repaint one completely and to add off colour panels to others to help show the sort of cobbled together mismatch vehicles likely to be found in a post apocalyptic wasteland (I doubt professional body shops and paint stylists are easy to come by)


The road is the print out from the demo pdf for Route 666 scaled to fit A4




I worried this gun would look to big, but I think it works!, very happy with how the mesh worked out on this one, looks better in natural light



Pleased I repainted the bonnet and side door, looks much duller in person, the flash makes the colour pop a lot more here



Another one I really like, although tempted to repaint all the red original bits...hmm



Door and panel repainted but not sure whether I should have left it or should repaint the whole car.... decisions



Very happy I repainted the Green throughout, I did like it before but prefer it now



still not sure about this one but will do





glad I left the original art on the bonnet think it works well



hopefully the full book will have something similar to a mortar otherwise this may need some remodelling :-)



hardly guess its a Aston underneath all this!



Much happier now I repainted the hood, loving the GTO



This has to be my favourite, fits the scene and easiest to do!



Do like this one too, glad I left the flame work



very pleased I repainted this as the orange even after washes was just too plastic y



This has to be the surprise of the lot, when I first looked at the neon orange all over I thought what can I do with this, but please with the effect now especially the tombstone at the back.



Really like this one too, the rush wash makes the original colour nicely faded and dirty as though poorly kept outdoors for years.


WIP Converting Hot Wheels for Mad Max style post apoc gaming

Whilst I wait for the recently ended kickstarter Route 666 I decided to do something I have considered doing for years, converting Hot wheels for use in mad max style post apoc gaming!

These are some of my first attempts none of which are yet finished.


Two front machine guns and some rear armour, tempted to leave this one as is..


Front flamer and rear mini-gun


Two front facing guns and one rear facing


Lots and lots of rockets - the least modified car


One large auto-gun / machine gun


Twin roof guns and a vicious front blade.. this is one of my favourites I think.


I went to town damaging this car up with some pliers/cutters etc, just one roof gun and some spikes


Just the one roof gun and some armour


Wanted a heavily shot up rear armour.


much better then the all over translucent orange!


Big machine gun and front claw


twin roof guns


twin guns with blade attachments


Missile and rear mortar! front blade.





Still plenty to do to finish these up.
