Pappa Midnight:
My wife has bought me some cars from the “Mad Maximillian” range by Eureka Miniatures. Basically Mad Max in the 1930s. Anyhow, I’m not allowed to have them until Christmas so I decided to have a go at building one myself. It’s a Diecast Bugatti with scratch-built twin machineguns. I’m still deciding on a pilot but will probably end up using one of the Eureka ones.
I will add more vehicles to this thread as I go.

Bloodbeard:
That is a thing of beauty!
Admiral:
Agreed! Classy car design in your paintjob. What’s not to like?
Abecedar:
I saw some of these last weekend at Little Wars in Canberra. They looked fun
and I love the job you’ve done on it
tjub:
Looks super! What scale is it?
Enjoysrandom:
Looks great, maybe some gobbos with old looking racing goggles to drive it?
Pappa Midnight:
Thanks gents. I’m looking forward to getting the rest so I can get some paint down on them.
Looks super! What scale is it?It’s supposed to be 1/43 but diecasts tend to be hit and miss ( a lot of them make them to fit the box rather than sticking to strict scale). It fits well with the “official” models but unfortunately I can’t show you any comparison shots as my good lady has hidden them for Christmas!

Just completed another vehicle. This time it is Dick Dastardly’s “Mean Machine”.
It is a converted 1/43 Blitzen Benz from Brumm with added rockets, light cannon and tail fin.
I haven’t fitted the crew yet. They are a converted Artizan mini and a Mantic Throwing Mastiff to act as Muttley!
I will post some shots with crew fitted and based shortly.
I also have also completed my Red Baron mini for the bugatti which I will also post shortly.

These are well done. They look very striking. Great color choices and beautiful execution. Makes me want to do some similar models myself.
Willmark:
Wow, great work. The eyes (and googles) on both are very well done.

Sjoerdo:
Looking great 
The cartoons were never very popular in the Netherlands but I do remember having seen them once or twice on Dutch TV. Especially remember Muttley’s laugh.
Uther the unhinged:
Awesome work. Will you do an Anthill mob? If so, straight or with Big hats. I think I would love either.
Uther the unhinged:
Actually, now I think about it their hats were pretty big to start with. All they were missing were beards…
Pappa Midnight:
Thanks gents. I have a few more in the pipeline ( Peter Perfect, Penelope Pitstop and possibly the Ant Hill Mob)
I also have some “themed” cars in mind ( holy avenger, British fighter ace, masked hero)
I’ve completed my driver for the Red Eagle. He’s a converted Copplestone Pilot miniature.
More to follow.
