This article is about how I went about converting my Farrow Roadhog, who I have nicknamed Mad Max. Again it was first published on the web a few years ago but the website it was on has disappeared from the web.

Mad Max the Farrow Roadhog
Parts List :
- 1x Road Hog
- 1x Model engine set Zinge Industires
- Track set components Zinge Industries
- Driller Grappler arm and claw
- Madhammer’s helmet visor
- 2x Karchev skirt frame thingys
- 2x Hammersmith hammer heads
- 2x Thunderhead struts
- Khador Berserker shoulder armour
- Drago shoulder plate & spikes
- Brass rod and tube, I used one size of brass rod which fit snugly inside the first size of brass tube, which in turn fit inside the second larger brass tube.
- Various sundries: Plasticard, and some old electrical wire
