As it turns out, these figures were in almost perfect scale with 28mm minis. Sadly, they seem to be impossible to acquire these days. Over at TMP, someone posted some pics of several 7-11 Mototerminators they had painted up for their own "Terminator" game. Prolly the best pics of them that I've personally seen thus far. While looking at the above pics, I said to myself "Self... with a few of the right Tau bits, we could probably kitbash some of those." So.... any suggestions/input regarding parts or how-to?

I haven't matched up a good replacement for the flaming wheels, but you might try the wheels from those small "army man" trucks and jeeps. They have thick tread on the edges, but not much detail in the middle.
