Here's my first ever attempt at a car for use with post apocalyptic settings, usually wasteland 3. The scale is slightly off but it doesn't bother me as the car came in a pack of 3 from Poundland and isn't really that far off. Maybe in the future cars will look kinda similar to modern ones but loads bigger. lol. The mesh on the screen came from something I found outside my flat in the car park (a speaker grill or something?), the LMG is the turret cannon from a rubbish toy tank from Poundland and the other armour plates are cut from my GAME loyalty card. Won't be needing that anymore. Got a load more now that I'm working on so I should have more to post soon. Also sorry for terrible photo quality as I dont have a camera so I use my phone for shooting mini's.

Good looking conversion. That speaker mesh works really well.

Looks great! I also like the coarse mesh on the windows.

I wouldn't worry too much about the size issue especially when dealing with heroic 28mm figs on slotta/plinth bases. In my experience it's far better to have cars that are a bit too large than too small. Though most of my cars are in the 1/40-1/48 scale range, I've got a few 1/35 scale pickups and vans also.

You have done some really good work. I like the icon on the hood/bonnet too!

Cheers for the feedback. Glad you like. Just wish I had more of that speaker mesh. Like I said more coming soon.

Oh and a conversion part I forgot to mention. The ramming spike thing is from an Epic Ork tank my friend gave me ages ago.
I also got an Epic Whirlwind and I'm thinking of attaching that to the roof of a car and using it as a 'Counts-As' RPG. Thoughts?
