Riflething Urban Ops Recon Buggy

This vehicle started life as a Hot Wheels "Max Steel Turbo Racer" toy:
Pretty cool wheels... But I knew I could do better. Luckily, this toy is almost exactly in-scale (judging by the driver's cockpit), and solidly futuristic-looking, so it didn't need much work. I swapped the spindly front wheels for some from another car and added a turret (armed with a Space Marine plasma pistol) and Riflething gunner. I don't do many vehicles to go with my figures, so this is kind of a step out for me. We'll see how much painting gets done before the baby arrives, but I'll definitely have a go at it...
This a very nice conversion,.and a strategic armed vehicle.
ReplyDeleteExcited to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteThat already looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI've got the same car, I was going to add a turret too, but I like what you've done to the wheels!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a small change that looks a lot better. The original wheels apparently can't decide between street racing and off-road.
DeleteLooks great looking forward to seeing its new pimped up paintjob!
ReplyDeleteLike Barks, I picked this car up a month or two ago, so I'm glad someone else sees some potential in it. Now I just need to see your paintjob,er, in case I get no ideas of my own!!
ReplyDeleteNeat conversion. Funnily enough, your conversion reminds me of the Brotherhood of Nod buggy in the first Command and Conquer.
ReplyDeleteCool stuff!
I can definitely see the resemblance. This would probably look good with Khurasan's GOTA troopers in a red color scheme, too. Very Nod/Cobra...
DeleteGod I sucked at C&C, just like every strategy game ever...
C&C Win 95 version was not an easy walk in the park. By far, the most challenging of strategy games. Haha
