Happy Sunday one and all. 😀
Hot wheels and matchbox are about 1/87 scale if I remember correctly

Hot Wheels would be much more fun and unique. The Dropzone stuff tends to be samey.
Hot wheels, match box for Mad Max, allows you to customize and use 15mm and 28mm bitz box for parts, and gives you that depth of immersion. I find anything smaller than 15mn just looks a bit clunky and out of sync.
Happy Sunday!
Actually, it is possible to get what you all want in 28mm, Ill see if I can get something for you.
Nothing that has not been done in the past, Gorkamorka had a clever solution for the speed and table issues and much can be expanded upon this basic idea.
For Mad Max vehicles at 28mm (ish) scale how about Wild West Exodus? The vehicles were the main reason I got into the game
And for the bikes from the the Raging heroes range.
@jpmax Just after we shot this I was kicking myself for not thinking of Wild West Exodus 🙂
for the terminator game the minis and Volvo need to have a few skeletons sat in them ala’ T2 opening sequence. also get the a 1/35 model kit like this for the win http://www.militarymodelling.com/sites/1/images/article_images_month/2012-07/ab3558b.jpg
then you can make your technical rock out with 50 cals
Hot Wheels.
Just the right size to have character and individuality. I think if the scale is any smaller than that, everything looks too samey at distances beyond two feet away.
Added bonus: Devil’s Run is doing conversion bits at that scale.
Added bonus part deux: You guys are well versed with the art of building 18 foot long tables… Salute 2016: Thunder Road!
I would love the idea of a hobby weekend. if for no other reason of having a couple of days set aside where I can just paint, its difficult with family commitments and a job to set aside painting time, but having a ‘holiday’ just to paint would be amazing
Happy sunday!
Excellent initiative regarding future boot camps. I´m hoping for an AvP boot camp in September. Just thinking about the cool terrain stuff the BoW crew could do for AvP, my chest almost burst out of excitement! 😉
HAPPY 92ND SUNDAY
Hot wheels are roughly 20mm, this means you can use 1/72 and 1/76 kits to customise the vehicles, plus you can use 1/72 (20mm) miniatures to represent the people. When I use to run a painting club ( Sheffield Irregulars) we use to have some weekends dedicated to painting a particular technique, or in the case of one weekend only using paints with the word grey in the colour description. It was really great to be able to spend a day painting with other people, getting tips and bouncing ideas of each other. So I really like the idea of… Read more »
Happy sunday!
Check out “Scenario 5: Da chase” from the Gorkamorka rules for some great highspeed vehicle action.
I would try to go for 28mm if using miniature boarding actions but if doing it abstract i would go for Hot Wheels.
Two useful websites to get some inspiration for mad max style gaming

In regard to the boot camp, I would love to come to one! Gutted that I wasn’t able to do the Infinity one (I tried, but just not viable for a few reasons). However, those selections you’ve picked out don’t excite me. For other suggestions for ones even further in the future how about Relic Knights, Warzone: Resurrection, Bushido, Hawk’s spaceship game (when it’s out of course) or even Dust.
Hot wheels are the way to go. Anyone with kids will probably already have a bunch of them kicking around just waiting to be mad maxified. They would also work with warren’s formula d movement mechanic, perhaps convert to cm rather than inches?
I feel a designer challenge coming on!
Happy Sunday,
Hot wheels for me.
