MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Customs

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

Don't suppose anyone has a spare football shoulder pad spare ? I've made the piece that goes underneath and I don't have the pad for the top

I've got the Dragon football pad set that I won't be using, but the one BillyB made for his Road Warrior kit is MUCH better and more accurate. I'd check in with him.

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

I'll see what I can do !

I got the link you sent. Much obliged!

Btw, BillyB's accessory kit comes with just about everything you need: the pads, the leg brace (excellent piece), belt and holster (also excellent), sawn-off shotgun, as well as the other gear worn on his belt. I believe it was only $30 or so, and already painted! Definitely a bargain there, mate!

I'll take it off your hands if you don't want it ?

I've got a few things together for the belts etc, I may see Billy for a few items if he is willing to sell some of the other parts separately.

The binoculars I've seen that are closest to what Max uses are by Dragon, they are the Russian binoculars. They have the correct mottling and the correct longer front lenses. They are virtually identical to the type in the photos.

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

A few sneak peeks. Still a lot of tweaking and paint matching left, but he is getting there.

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

Looks good, man! I have the same thing with my original outfit, as far as using that BBi Scorpion vest and then attaching sleeves to it. I've got mine temporarily on hold while I wait to see what BillyB can treat us to

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

hell yea EF.........that max looks cool as hell.......but what kinda color matching are you talking about.......head to body or body to head? or something else?

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

That's very impressive ! If my figure comes out even half as good as yours I will be very happy !
Do you mind if I ask you how you managed to get the finger less gloves made ? Did you chop fingers and glue them on or is it all purely paint ? Now all you have to do is dirty him up !

BillyB's parts look very impressive too, I'm definately sold on them now ! Lots of talented folk on here !

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

Yea, I need to match the head to the body. Will change the leg brace buckles to different metal ones and. The fingers are cut and glued one.

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

Thanks ! Where is the best place to buy small metal buckles etc ?
I'm also going to try that with my gloves / fingers.

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

For the buckles, I'll have to find the site again, but it was one that did all kinds of stuff for toy horses.

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

that would be https://www.riorondo.com/

great and friendly people and very helpful. Only they smoke very heavily, every time I open a package from them it nearly knocks me out. I got a chrome sculpting tool that smelled like cigarette smoke for three months.

all heads are out but one...Migwit. I want to get the hair just right, I'm sure it will be off to you this week.

Thanks Guys!

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

That's a great site for buckles Spencer! I wish this would have come up earlier in the thread when I started up the kits.
Do you know what size buckle would work the best for the holster and leg brace straps?

Thanks Spenser !

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

Yeah, thanks for the great link Spenser! I've been looking for a source for horse-related model making supplies just like this. Not too thrilled about the cig smoke part, but I'm sure I'll be sending some business their way soon.

Re: MAD MAX/ROAD WARRIOR Thread

I'll look at what size I use and get back to you guys.
