'Sport' from MikeF: Gaslands War Rig

For this Saturdays Sport entry I'm submitting a War Rig for the game Gaslands!. For those who don't know. Gaslands was developed by Osprey Publishing and is basically demolition derby with kit-bashed Hotwheels/Matchbox cars. Story wise it's billed as the most popular death sport on post-apocalyptic earth and shown to a live audience. In the game, the War Rig is the biggest vehicle you can build and is basically a mobile fortress. The model below is based off a Hotwheels model. I can't remember if Hotwheels is closer to 15mm or 20mm so I included a 15mm model for comparison when assigning points.





The lego base works well keeping the model from rolling around. I'll have to re-glue the wheels before it's debut game.



The model already came with armor plates and a vault like door on the trailer, so I didn't need to do much when converting.


Armed with a minigun, flamethrower and missile launcher
