Car Wars - Georgia State Patrol Enforcer

Since it seems Car Wars is seeing a resurgence locally, I wanted to do something local, yet cool. I repainted a Hot Wheels "Turbo Turret" car in a Georgia State Patrol scheme. I need to find decals in orange to get some text on it.


These are the stats I came up with:

Enforcer (Rolling Thunder Motors, Law Enforcement Division)
Mid-sized, Heavy chassis, Heavy suspension, Large power plant, 4 Solid tires, Driver, Gunner, Recoilless Rifle in Turret, 2 Linked Machine Guns Front, Plastic Armor: F28, L28, R27, B28, T27, U15, Gear Allocation: [6 lbs.], Acceleration 5, Top Speed 97.5, HC 3, 5274 lbs., $14648

This is a real GSP Dodge Charger.

The base I painted up using Fleckstone spray paint (granite) and some masking tape to mark out lines to show firing arcs.

Can't wait to have a chance to get duellin'!

'Til next time!

Car Wars revisited

Well, it looks like Car Wars might be revived at Giga-Bites! I have not played a game of Car Wars in many, many years, but I remember how much fun it was, so I am really looking forward to this.

We'll probably start by using the original scale maps and counters. But, I am hoping we grow to 3x scale at some point, so we can use Hot Wheels cars and customize to our hearts' content.

To that end, I spent a few minutes rummaging around in the bin of Hot Wheels cars at Kroger yesterday, and came up with these two beauties:

At $1 each, you really can't go wrong!

'Til next time.
