Hello all, Bluesun2517 (Alan or AL) here found this forum whilst looking for Mad Max inspired vehicle builds and boy do you have a lot of fantastic stuff on here :D so i would like to show you guys some of my stuff that i've been working on over the last year or so, all comments 'good, bad and ugly' are welcome.

cheers

so the first one is a 1/16 radio controlled Mustang i picked up cheap off ebay, the RC doesn't work! that's why it was cheap! :roll: i went for a really! rusty look to it.............

That is some fantastic work.
This board has been pretty slow lately. I haven't been very productive this year, and I just returned from Wasteland Weekend.

My car models are 1/24 or 1/25. I may try some 1/32 stuff in the future, because I've got some 1/35 military stuff, and it looks too out of scale to use with 1/24 scale vehicles.
The GI Joe stuff is roughly 1/18, but as it is a toyline, its kinda a mashup between 1/24-1/18 scale to accomodate the action figures.
