+title: Furiosa's WARRIG
+
+---
+Here it is, Furiosa's War Rig!
+
+This is a Hot Wheels-scale scratchbuild of the war rig from Mad Max Fury Road. It started off with a fire engine from Thomas the Tank Engine, which I ripped apart and completely converted, then used a custom-built vacuum former to shape the Chevy Fleetmaster on the back of the truck, built the entire tanker from card, and finally 3d-printed the wheels. For dessert, I sculpted some tiny skulls out of greenstuff, and added these in nests of plasticard shards.

+
+It fits the war rig definition used in Gaslands, which was the original goal of the build.
+
+As with all projects, I decided to call it good for now. I can keep on tinkering with this thing forever, but I do have other projects that I want to get to.
+
+Here are some focus-stacked shots. This thing is really long, and keeping it in focus at this scale is pretty hard...

+The interior is fully painted, but alas the windows are very small and you can only just see the steering wheel with the skull on it.
