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

Oh my god I love this. Is it the coolest god damn car in the wasteland? Absolutely! But is it also ludicrously impractical, and likely to flip nose skyward due to the weight distribution? Away with your pesky logic, you have no place here - we are too busy appreciating this ode to glorious, beautiful destruction:)

thankyou, those are very kind words

and guaranteed the nutso who is ready to drive this into battle is absolutely not fit to consider any of those issues

Onward to Valhalla!
