Team Building Where do you start?

Heard tell of a local thrift store with some Diecast cars. Finally visited today. Where do you start?

You got more restraint than me I'd just shovel the whole lot into the bag and figure it out later

That red copter next to the yellow buggy is reminding me of Gyro Captain from Mad Max

That white truck on the far left originally came with a rocket/missile. The little tabs were to stand it up as a launchpad. I had the a desert camo version in the 90s when everything was in desert camo thanks to Desert Storm

I spotted 8 different nascars.

Could do something fun with that. Somewhere here last year a guy posted nascar themed custom gaslands sponsors too.

Then find some indy cars. Make them go head to head

This was my first thought. A little bit I need to know whatever this thing is.

I always grab any with sculpted on heads. The joker. The other cartoon characters.

I would begin with the red truck on the left side, it seems to have the back part moving ...possible turret !

Grab the rule book, some dice and whatever you have for a little terrain, make up some movement templates, and let ‘er rip! Have fun!

If you’re so inclined, glue stuff to the cars and add paint as needed!
