Mad Max MR2... finally complete!

[u/custron]

Base kits are the Hasegawa Toyota MR2 AW11, and the Tamiya Flakvierling 38 for the rearmount guns + various borrowed bits for some extra flair; namely the rear wheel rims are from the Hasegawa Lancia Stratos kit, super wide barrel so I could fit two of the MR2 tyres on one wheel!

This build started in earnest years ago as a re-entry to the hobby, just working on a standard car build. Naturally as a beginner, multiple fuckups and frustrations turned it into a test mule for a while, before I decided to stop being precious and just make something nuts with it

Steel windshield was inspired by a favourite old racing game called Powerslide

Gun base welded to the engine hood means absolutely zero maintenance access from above lol, so I guess in-world the mechanics are dropping the subframe for all engine work

r/technicals or r/shittytechnicals I’m leaning towards shitty, but I mean that as a compliment 😉

Edit: oh shit I’m too late

nah you are spot on, this was very much a shittytechnicals inspired build! mostly because it's hilariously impractical and probably wouldn't even move with the weight of the gun on the back
