I have been a fan of the Mad Max movie series since inception beginning with the 1979 release of Mad Max, up through and including the recent Fury Road release. And as such, this is the backdrop for this dystopian, Post-apocalyptic vehicle overhaul. At first glance, it might appear that all of the crazy looking vehicles that appear in this movie world are nothing more than reconstituted junk-yard heaps, cobbled together without regard to form or function. However, on closer examination, it is clear each vehicle within the films are unique, thought-out, and serves a purpose. I recall reading one of the concept artists state that what one must understand is that these vehicles are a symbol of personal pride and craftsmanship, an extension of their personalities. In the end, what you have, are a bunch of very cool looking cars!
My wasteland is my workbench, and upon it rides a Revell/Monogram 1966 Chevy Fleetside pickup truck. I chose this vehicle for no other reason than my dad had one of these when I was young, and I like the way it looks. What would it become? Fingers grip tight around the X-Acto, the smell of glue surrounds me. Strap in and let’s ride! Burn, Baby Burn!
