Gaslands Buggy, the Scramblurr.
Originally a mere Hot Wheels Rip Rod, now a mercenary of motorized mayhem!
All it took was some Gorka Morka Bitz, cuts from zip ties, cuts from plastic packing straps, cuts from a dollar store truck toy, a snipping of window screen, a couple small balls of green stuff, left over Gundam Bitz and guns from North Star "Implements of Chaos" sprue.
This one took more time and effort than it looks, I was a little frustrated and disappointed this car was not coming together as well as I had thought it would. Over many daysI did a few pivots on paint job and more than a little tinkering about with the add on parts. I cut off the outer body and decided to make use of the piped under shell, but it left me with two metal "wings" sticking out of the car's bottom in front of the back wheels, which were part of the die cast metal car base. Not keen on cutting off the metal parts, eventually , I landed on the concept of making the awkward metal parts the bases for foot hold platforms, and glued a complementary hand grip by each side window. Game world idea being crew could jump on the buggy for a quick ride, kinda the same way olde time fire trucks had foot and hand holds for firemen... but in the case of the Scramblurr, folks hopping off this car make fires!
