From Curt: Single-Seat Roadster for Maximillian 1934 (22 Points)

 

Hi All!

Up next for me is an additional car for my Maximillian 1934 project. This time we have a single-seat roadster in classic British racing green. 

Similar to my previous tribekka, this model is from Eureka Miniatures. The resin was a little pitted, but it all went together without any fuss.

A quick blast of racing green with the airbrush and I was off to the races with brushing-in the highlights and other details. 

For this jalopy, I've gave it a different front end, which sports twin machine guns. I also mounted a forward firing anti-tank rifle on the right-side cowling (a handy thing to 'encourage' open-lane driving), and finally a rear-firing Maxim for the odd parting shot (burst?).  

For a bit of fun, I mocked-up a drum magazine from milliput for the Maxim simply for the looks-cool-factor.

With a bit of luck, I hope to get another two cars done, along with some motorcycles. Hopefully enough for a good-sized game.

This green road hazard should give me 20 base points, along with another 2 for the driver.

Thanks for popping in for a look!

I'm really loving these Wacky Races style automobiles you're painting up, Curt. There have been quite a few car-wars type games over the years, but I think Maximillian definitely takes home the top prize for vehicle design.

The green base colour and the weathering are nicely done, and the decals (I'm assuming those aren't hand painted) add a few spots of visual interest to the machine. Lovely work.
