If You Can Read This.....


I have been going through stuff to sell on Ebay and came across a bunch of my old minis that have not seen the light of day for more than 20 years.  I figured since Fury Road is coming out this week...
 
....I would post some pics of Car Wars minis I made when the game came out.  Here is the Green Machine, carved out of balsa and mounted on card stock.  It's to scale, i.e., 1 inch long.
 
 
This is the Grey Ghost....this time carved out of pink insulation foam.  Car Wars, the only game that took 1 hour of real time to play 1 second in the game.  It was that or Gilligan's Island.
 
 
Finally, this is my friend Mike the Mangler's car, a beautiful brown Town & Country wagon.  It was fun to put ourselves in the game and run over pedestrians (they had guns!).  I almost threw these away.  They are tiny, so that's something....There is something cool and nostalgic about them.  I got 5 bucks for my Car Wars game on Ebay.  Enjoy!
