Hi Lads…this project started out by seeing the awesome models that a certain Humungous has been making for the last 20 years…checkout his FB page for more pics:) link I wanted to capture the feel but give it a more modern twist…my Mad Max world will be set in the world of Dredd and the mega highways of the Cursed Earth….here's a few pics…will post up a few of the individual vehicles as time goes on….they are all 1/32nd scale diecast vehicles that are very cheap to find at carboot sales and markets….the truck cost me £2.99 GBP!…give them a bit of modelling work and then bob's yer uncle:) Next year should see a bit of Mad max frenzy with the release of Fury Road at the cinemas..so look out at the shows for more Mad max fun:)…

Cool truck & vehicles. What's the scale, 20th? |
clarkeshire | 26 Oct 2014 5:05 a.m. PST |
28mm miniatures and 1/32nd vehicles:) |

Very nice Like the load off option on the truck, But I love the mini cooper |
Coelacanth | 26 Oct 2014 5:38 a.m. PST |
Yeah, those are some great models, but that Mini rocks! Thanks for posting your work. Ron |

Yer a clever one Clarkie,good on yer mate. I'm right impressed and God save us all :) ( well I'm sure the Royal Family would be bunkered down somewhere in Scotland in your bloody Mad Maxi World. You've done a right bangup job, BTW what rule system are you planning to use? Cheers and happy hunting on the A1. |
clarkeshire | 26 Oct 2014 6:29 a.m. PST |
not sure who the bleedin hell is Zargon:),,,for the Miniature games I'll be using Judge Dredd from Warlord games…they cover every thing that you need to play:)..Law Enforcers, Mutants, Street punks, Zombies…practically everything you can think of:)…for the vehicle rules I'm at the moment playtesting a set for vehicles and their drivers:) cheers Zargon:)…..the Goat:) |

Mmm… I love the work you've put into these, but I disagree with placing them beside 28mm figures. They really are nowhere near each other, scale-wise. Even the most over-the-top 'heroic' 32mm figures are nowhere near 54mm high. Still, it's your game and your universe. Maybe the cars grew – or the people shrunk – post apocalypse! |
clarkeshire | 26 Oct 2014 7:42 a.m. PST |
I tried the smaller scale vehicles that should fit in with the 28mm mini's…possibly 1/43rd scale?…but they looked kind of small…I wanted the vehicles to look epic:)…. |
evilcartoonist | 26 Oct 2014 9:29 a.m. PST |
Those are all ace!!! I prefer 1/43 for 28s, but going "epic" still looks fantastic! To hell with scale, keep on keep on, because you have a great little collection there. |
Lion in the Stars | 26 Oct 2014 9:58 a.m. PST |
"boogie boarding" on a dirt surface must be all sorts of exciting… one rock and you're street pizza! and 28mm minis with 1/32 cars makes the minis look like a bunch of kids. |
clarkeshire | 26 Oct 2014 10:35 a.m. PST |
Wargamers are all big kids at heart so the scale suits me fine:)….epic scales the way to go:)…as I said it started out as a vehicle only project and then I thought why not use a few mini's as well….as long as the eye candy works then thats good for me:) Goat Here's Goats vehicle of Choice the mighty Wolverine the Goat likes big powerfull cars now he's got one:)

Awesome collection. Love the truck and the mini cooper. |
YogiBearMinis | 26 Oct 2014 1:51 p.m. PST |
I think they look great, better in scale than most I see that are purportedly in scale. |

The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla approves of this post. |
clarkeshire | 26 Oct 2014 2:06 p.m. PST |
It's quite strange with motor cars….they are a lot smaller than we think:)…i did try the supposed smaller scale but when you see them on the table with miniatures something looks wrong?….it looks like epic scale is here to stay for me:)….nowt wrong with a bit of epic I suppose:) Goat:) |
D A THB | 26 Oct 2014 3:08 p.m. PST |
I really like these despite the scale issue. I don't think I would have realised at first if you did not mention what scales the different parts were in. |
clarkeshire | 26 Oct 2014 3:21 p.m. PST |
As long as they look good to the eye scale is not important…in gaming we have 15mm's 18mm's 25mms 28mmm's and 32mm's….its the effect that they all produce thats important:) Goat:) |
jgibbons | 26 Oct 2014 5:49 p.m. PST |
I actually have the same truck model… Who does the cars? |
clarkeshire | 27 Oct 2014 3:37 a.m. PST |
If you've got the same Truck well done…I now wish I had bought 2 I got mine from a cheap seaside market stall for £2.99 GBP….the vehicles are from loads of different manufacturers and cost me very little…carboot sales are a gold mine for this sort of thing as well:)….here's a few more close up pics:)
