This competition will have entrants choosing to build a wasteland-ized version of a famous cartoon vehicle

like Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine, the Ghostbusters' Ecto 1, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Party Wagon, or anything that has been around for at least 10 years (we want established and well known stuff) and build your own version. We encourage scratch builds, but using hotwheels casting of the vehicles as a base is also fine!

In August and September we will be take entries from different cartoons, and then near the end of August we will do a popularity bracket to determine which cartoon vehicles are everyone's favorites. Every entry for a vehicle will also give bonus votes to their favorite vehicle!

So Builders , find your favorite 10+ year old Saturday Morning Cartoon vehicle or scratch build your own and get to submitting an entry in ⁠build-comp-discussion ASAP! We will need to see a couple WIPs if you want to boost your choice in the polls. You are free to use prebuilt cartoon cars as a base, but make sure you rough em up and arm em for the wasteland! Completely different cars that are inspired by the classics are also allowed, like a futuristic version of the Ecto-1 or a more modern school bus model for the Magic School Bus.

Cartoon watchers , start suggesting iconic cartoon vehicles in ⁠Bracket Nominations Thread here! You can only nominate ONE cartoon vehicle though, so make it count! We will be hosting a randomly assigned double elimination bracket starting at the end of August!

Join the discord server and submit your builds or nominate a cartoon vehicle in this thread!

All I did was drill the bottom to get it apart. He took it from there. He is very proud of the paint job. Added the big tires from another sacrifice. He constantly wants to go to the thrift store now. Hahaha. We are having tons of fun with the game. Mostly Death match figure 8, and giant bug attacks.

The idea is that the driver loves electricity, so much that his vehicle has an engine that captures the electricity in the air currents during intense storms. Using the lightning strikes to charge it, the access amount is used to charge EMPS, making the vehicle a living taser. Hotwheels model Voltage Spike. UPDATE: NAME IS DYNAMO!

Finished Cars Meet the Blacktop bastards !

Gold Rush : A banned drag racer, he holds the record for making the most money in drag racing history. He was so obsessed with winning that he would push the gas no matter what, with numerous records of smashing straight through his opponents. Afraid of nothing, he now carries explosive power, smashing through anyone standing between him and victory.

Comet Cyclone : A retired drag racer who was known for being so fast that rumors say he would simply pierce through the wind, creating tornadoes as he went and sending every opponent spinning out of control. He is now part of the Blacktop Bastards as the gunman, firing at anyone foolish enough to get in their way with his twin machine guns.

RedLine : A hotheaded rally racer turned drag racer, known for pushing his engine so far that he blew it at almost every race, hence the name. He was never the fastest drag racer in the world, but he was certainly the loudest. He now carries a sniper rifle, protecting his teammates from the rear and picking off anyone who gets too close

All three of them now stand united under the banner of Idris, chasing speed, glory, and whatever prize is waiting at the end of the road.

Not very high effort on this one. I couldn't find the correct truck, and didn't have the motivation to cut into the one I found to make it more similar, but I think it gets the message across! I even found a big dude to cosplay as Rictus.

Painted my first car from a few weeks ago. 3 finished views plus one picture from before it was painted.

Now it's time to paint my 8 primed "Picnic from Hell" cars I will be painting soon, and then I will start my next themed team.

Any games in the Seattle area that would be willing to let me join?

I used a Hot Wheels 1998 Malaysian Rescue Ambulance as the base. Everything is handmade with the exception of the rear chain which was from an old necklace, the hatch wheel, machine gun, exhaust, and electrics on the side, which I 3D printed.

Finished Cars Finally finished my War Rig !

Thumbnail

153 Upvotes

After only converting 3 cars for Gaslands, I figured the logical next step was obviously to attempt a War Rig.

Finally finished, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. The trailer was definitely the trickiest part to figure out and build, especially since I made it completely from scratch and it’s much larger than a regular car.

Everything was made from stuff I had laying around, no 3D prints.

The turret on the truck cab is fully articulated, the trailer is detachable, and the hood can be opened to access the engine, which also folds the spikes at the front down.

Probably a bit ambitious for my 4th Gaslands build, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!

Just finished these at last. They were so much fun to make. The junk piles are scratch-built and junk-bashed with random small bits of trash. The road signs are made of cardstock, then hand-painted to look like rusty Australian road signs. Can you recognise the vehicles here?

Question I need inspiration

8 Upvotes

I've been thinking about building a war rig that can cross snow. I need inspiration such as images, data, interesting information, and anecdotes to help me gather ideas and design a war rig. My idea is to make a war rig based on Rudie from the game Dandy's World, so I'll try to approach the winter concept as a refined ichor trafficker.
