Recently I started doing some basic beginners' teams again, consisting of a buggy and a car, each armed with a machine gun.
The idea was to try out a few different looking designs, but keep the effort on a moderate level.
Here is the second team:
The Killing Joke
Some time ago I had made
this buggy. So I decided to give it a wing man. Unfortunately next to every possible other car the buggy looked huge in scale.
So I decided to remake it in a smaller version. Had to slaughter a premium for that.
The Buggy
 |
I used a 2024 Hot Wheels Meyers Manx. It's hard to turn such a jolly hippie car into a mean looking wasteland racer.
|
 |
| Some chopping was done in the rear to make room for a gunner. |
 |
| I liked the wheels, so I kept them. The gun is from Implements of Carnage II, the other parts came from my bits boxes. |
The Car
 |
| Hot Wheels '57 Plymouth Fury |
 |
| I love the rust effects on this. Used Citadel Typhus Corrosion Technical paint |
 |
The Wheels are salvaged from another Hot Wheels car. I lowered the suspension so much, the rear wheels scrape the underside of the trunk. Extra score if you realised the car has 10 exhaust pipes.

 |
| I think the scale works. |
