I became a Mad Max fan about a year ago and had an idea to make a remake of it. So I began customizing toy cars, trucks, cycles, action figures, etc into post apocalyptic stuff; it's my dream to turn this into an animated series but first I gotta finish college and find my career job. nevertheless, in my free time, I am working tirelessly on the story, plot, characters, vehicles, episodes, story arcs, u name it.

here are some pictures for now. I will frequently update so be on the lookout and please feel free to leave comments and constructive criticism. thanks!

TriFire is a Monster Bike the marauders use in road wars. TriFire is its name because of its 3 weapons: the bike is fitted with a dual cannon capable of elevating to hit higher targets and a machine gun mounted on the sidecar (see 2nd pic).


The marauders use Monster Bikes because they are larger than ordinary motorcycles, faster, and much more powerful. The only downside is they suck up gasoline faster. Then again, the marauders are always pillaging and ransacking villages to refuel their vehicles and replenish their sustenance (water especially). It is a world where only the fittest survive.


note: the figures on the motorcycle are not marauders. they are for display purposes only.

only the motorycle has been customized and is a work in progress.

Dead End is another Monster Bike. Unlike TriFire, this version wields a gigantic chainsaw that can be operated by the sidecar passenger. The chainsaw can split open anything whether it be metal, axles, or yes human flesh. Don't be caught in a dead end with this chainsaw cuz there will be no escape!


The figure wielding the chainsaw is also a work in progress.

this was my first time using wire mesh. at home, there was an extra square of wire mesh waiting to be discarded but I salvaged it in time. wire mesh is just as awesome as acrylic paints. only thing I don't like are the bits of string visible all around the thingypit area. I have an idea on how to disguise them.

originally a Street Fighter Crimson Cruiser (repaint of GI JOE Badger); such an awesome vehicle. rocket launcher taken from a Corps tank. purple rotating gun from GI JOE Parasite vehicle.



having trouble visualizing a color scheme for the vehicle. will have to consult with a friend.



the figure here (GI JOE Mirage) is only for display purposes.

The Monster Bike known as Dead End. This was how it looked like back at the start of November. Notice the sidecar wheel and the sidecar passenger's feet on the foot rests.



This is the updated Dead End Monster Bike. I figured since the sidecar was equipped with a gigantic chainsaw, it be fitting that the sidecar require a larger wheel; so I replaced the original wheel with a Cobra Ferret wheel: not easy but worthwhile.



gotta find some way to rebuild or conceal the rear of the sidecar, it looks atrocious. I cut it up cuz the rear was too bulky.



I didn't like the original foot rests for the sidecar passenger. I wanted to give a post apocalyptic feel to the foot rests; make it seem as though the marauders used whatever they could to recreate or simulate foot rests. I took paper clips, cut them into small pieces about the same length, heated them on the stove, and inserted them beside the original sidecar foot rests. I love the end result. now I just gotta remove the original foot rests.

this is a Soldier Force jeep that came packaged with a Chinook helicopter also from Chap Mei. I didn't like the wheels it had so I replaced them with Cobra Ferret wheels. I need 2 more ferret wheels but they're so expensive on ebay; I'll have to wait.



I can't see this vehicle as part of the marauder gang. It looks too plain, simple, inoffensive, harmless, and most of all it looks like the type of vehicle Pappagallo and the Defenders (from Road Warrior movie) would have. so this is a good guy vehicle.

These vehicles are works in progress. I will try to update the pictures occassionally when I have free time.

Wez is the leader of his marauder gang. His vehicle nicknamed Scythe is a Monster Bike. The marauders use Monster Bikes because they are larger than ordinary motorcycles, faster, and much more powerful. The only downside is they suck up gasoline faster. Then again, the marauders can always pillage and ransack villages for refueling their vehicles and replenishing their sustenance. It is a world where only the fittest survive.



Gasket is one of the marauders. His vehicle of choice is a Monster Quad, much larger and fiercer than an ordinary atv. Gasket customized his Monster Quad so he can store his favorite blaster and extra weapons in a rear compartment.



Runamuck is the marauder's largest vehicle as well as its deadliest (for now). The driver was handpicked by Wez because of his maniacal tendency to run over any living things: humans and animals alike.

stage 2: Wez (work in progress)

The new Wez sharpening his left arm gauntlet knife.

I want to replace his mohawk with real hair cuz the plastic mohawk looks too cartoony.

at my local KB store, I spotted this awesome Tonka garbage truck. Its size engrossed me as well as its features:



1) doors open, seats fit 1:18 figures (GI JOE, Chap Mei)

2) it's in scale with other 1:18 vehicles

3) Motorized functions operate the dumpster arm and tilt the dump bed for easy dumping.

Humungus (ruler of the wasteland) uses Punisher (the name of this vehicle) to punish those marauders who fail him. Their hands and feet are bound, they're placed into the dumpster, and hurled into the dump bed where they're grinded and ripped into pieces --- an excruciatingly painful death. Humungus shows no mercy to friend or foe.

haven't been able to take photos of this giant cuz the weather here in NY is terrible and there's hardly any sunlight.



I can't wait to customize the Tonka garbage truck (it's one HUGE truck!) The pic (below) is a vehicle from Twisted Metal 4. I wanna give it a similar paintjob and definitely add spikes around the cabin area.



I believe this pic is from a boardgame. anyway, I love the wire mesh over the windshield and those long spikes.



now imagine this vehicle with a rusty paintjob, barred windows, a gigantic spiked battering ram, and spikes all around its body, and let's not forget spikes protruding from each hubcap.
