In the lawless wastelands of outback Australia a battle wages , alone one man stands tall, fighting back when hope is almost lost. He has grown into the legend 'Mad Max' .
After the loss of his family and best friend Goose, Max cuts loose to seek revenge and destroy those responsible.
The result is total carnage, on a scale never before seen.
'It's that rat circus out there, I'm beginning to enjoy it. Look, any longer out on that road and I'm one of them, a terminal psychotic, except that I've got this bronze badge that says that I'm one of the good guys' (Mad Max)

LamboDave
Great set-up & everything looks to scale (even the background). Looks like that NIB Socrcher will be coming just in time. The one featured looks a little worse for wear ... You got my vote !!!
TIXX74
Oh-oh.. i think we have the winner! Absolutely stunning! It reminds me the real scene!
Capt Splatt
Some might suggest you have an unfair advantage with abundance of red dirt and gums trees at your disposal. Others might suggest that's a damn sexy FAV you've got there
Anyway you look at it, you've got my vote.
SB_Aust
Stuart I am blown away by this. WINNER I SAY! And it's not the Aussie bias either
It does look like Mel Gibson as well...
Singleseven

Skottoman
Totally awesome! Nice job! Now what's on fire making the smoke? Is it behind the hill, or is there a hint of fire on the rear of the Scorcher? Great job!!!!!!!!
Daz87UK
oh my god.... i love this scene - 1:10th of complete nuke war. you have my vote too! (but next time it seems like a good idea to ruin a ranger shell just for a photo... it probably isn't) lol
mr_pushrod
Think we may have a new front runner.......
Swarm
I am really humbled by the responses I have had on this Comp project thankyou all very much.
No vehicles were harmed in the making of this despite what it looks like ,The fires are in several places behind the hill behind the Ford Ranger shell and the Sand Scorcher shell,my wife was in charge of the pyrotechnics.
I know I could have purchased the shell of Ebay but I wanted to use what I had laying around .
I have been working on this basically from day one when the comp was announced making the road and parts weathering the shells and tins landscaping (lots of moving earth).
I have enjoyed doing this project every aspect of it was fun and rewarding.
Again thanks for all your words of encouragement and for all your support it means a lot to me.

sgt.barnes
I cannot believe I missed this in your showroom. Its great. The real interceptor is in a car museum near me in the UK. I regularly go to visit it. The owner is sick of me asking to buy it. I believe I have first dibs though
Nice job
