This was a commission piece I just finished for use with the Gaslands rules. The client supplied me with a nice variety of Fast and Furious cars, two Matchbox buggies, and some Ramshackle motorcycles and asked me to do some conversion work, while finishing them off in a very simple Black, Steel, and Rust paint scheme for everything. The Fast and Furious vehicles are rather interesting in that they're a fair bit larger than Hot Wheels' and Matchbox nominally 1/64 scale, being about 1/60 scale, making the motorcycles look a little small (being are 20-18mm or 1/72 scale) but also making the buggies (both in 1/64) look correct. It's a trade-off that does work in this context.
While the car exteriors were easy enough to paint, the crew and the motorcycles took the longest time, since the Ramshackle figures have a surprising amount of detail. Some are holding personal sidearms, some have utility pouches and backpacks, some have armor plating....the stylistic post-apocalyptic fashions are all here.
All in all, this was a quick little project that took about a week to complete and the results look good. Let's ride!

I like these. Very original Mad Max in their finish and execution.
