I still need to "cut" the edges of a few of the armor plates and add some stowage. I cant decide if i want to stick my first car was a hotwheels brand 1970 buick gsx: In the back you can see a hotwheels "rollcage" dunebuggy chassis in the back that will be my next project once my order from Stan Johansen Miniatures gets here. the little grey guy is a soft rubbery figure that came in a set of matchbox with a hummer and a beefy wheeled vehicle with a turret on it. I think its a little bit large for 20mm but i dont have any figs to compare it to yet. If it does end up being too large, i can alwayse use it as some sort of mutant or somesuch.

As I remember Dark Future's minis came in at 22mm for Hotwheels - but the cars may work up to 25mm true scale. I looked at 20mm and to me - they seemed a wee bit small for Hotwheels/matchbox scale.

I looked at 20mm and to me - they seemed a wee bit small for Hotwheels/matchbox scale. I guess it partly depends on how you base the figures and whether the minis are 1/72 'true scale' or 20mm 'heroic'

Enforcer Posts: 7,569 Group: Admins Member #3 Joined: Jul 24, 2008	The rust looks awesome! I'd suggest doing the cross on the door and the stake a different colour to make htem stand out more. The same for hte chains holding hte stake down
