Making Twisted Metal die cast out of Hot Wheels.

So this what I have found so far. I'm going to paint them and sculpt out machine guns and important items (rat rockets, the man on the back, etc;)
...
Vermin
And
...
Meat Wagon
So, do you think this would work?

Thought of doing it for years, but never really got around to it.

I knew if seen some before on the site when I first came here. Were those yours Dizaster?

Anyways, I know people have done it, but I think it'd be a cool thing to have. I'll post pictures of them periodically... But only when they're done

Not sure if this should be its own thread. But i currently have a lithium ion makita drill that is just asking to be taken apart and installed in the Sweet tooth RC car. Thinking custom sheetmetal chassis.  Gonna probably make a mold of the body so i can constantly make them.   I wanna see it do 30-40MPH!!

A guy named yellowjacket was working on models 1 or 2 years ago. Dunno what happened to him. He was rather good at it though;

...

I myself was working on a tmb sweet tooth model back then;

...

Unfortunately it still looks the same as it did a year and a half ago when i took that picture. I already have 3 or 4 hobbies. Didn't realize model building can actually be pretty costly especially when your just starting out.

Besides dude there was already a line of combat like cars then as well.
...
...

I have about 6 still in packaging.

Those Battle Machines are actually still made. We just ordered a case for my HEADSHOP.  Why?   Because we already run TMPS3 bracket tournies on our 12X6 HD projector set-up (in a  clockwork orange themed living room complete with catatonic white mannequins with dialeted pupils and neon hair.)   We decided that during the waiting stages we should have a live version of small brawl going in the back (there is a loft style office that over looks the floor of the store, we stand uptop and  board off a map with baseboard on rubber nubs to keep them from moving too far.   That being said, ours look nothing like that amazing taxi and semi-truck.... WHERE did u find those, i just have camaros, silverados, mustang new, and old, and a ford lightning.

They were part of the first series of sets that were released. I was going through the toy isle to get to the bathroom at a Walmart and they caught my eye so I nabbed the mustang and the flat black camaro with flames on it. My wife actually brought me back the taxi one day after she went grocery shopping. This was like 2 years ago dude. If they still sold them at Walmart I'd definitely be buying them. Once they disappeared I figured they were long gone.

Warthog is slow but worth it to make everyone go apeshit on you.Also laser pistol is semi worth it.

I have the Bel Air battle machine. It looked a lot like Yellow Jacket so I got it. I just wanted to make my own cars. I'd have a sense of accomplishment from making them. Plus, I don't know if they'll ever make Twisted Metal 1:64 scales, so I decided I wanted to make them.

No, I still haven't got around to fishing through my mom's garage and finding my old Hot Wheels bin. If I still have my painted cars, they'll be in there. The only car I posted was the Yellow Jacket model that Tim (YellowJacket318) made for me a while back.

Speaking of Tim, since it was mentioned, he still lurks around every once in a while, but I don't see him being a regular poster like he used to be. I was actually talking to him this morning, helping him plan his trip to Florida. I'm buying that Darkside off of him, and I'm hoping to maybe talk him into letting me get Warthog (not pictured) as well. According to him, after he finished Uncharted 3, he put the controller down and hasn't felt the urge to play anything since, not even Twisted Metal. He's moved on to other hobbies, more or less.

By the way, for those who might be interested, he's selling his entire model collection. Aside from what's pictured above, he also did TMB Warthog and TMB Spectre, as well as A LOT more detailing on Thumper. But like I said, Darkside is mine in the next few weeks  Cheesy
