DIY rams, plows, and cow catchers

Ive been customizing Hot wheels and matchbox cars for a couple of weeks now, the weapons and armor are easy enough to scratch build, however I'm having a difficult time creating plows, rams, and cow catchers from scratch. I don't have a 3d printer, and I also don't have the money to buy 3d printed weapons from online stores. Do you guys have any tips on how to make them from scratch? So far, the only rams and plows, etc. that I have on my cars are taken from matchbox construction vehicles.

My 3 most recent cars

The Booster Buggy (VW), The Nomad (Corvette), and a delivery truck that I still haven't come up with a name for yet. I feel like the truck is missing something on top of it. And I dont know if its weapon or what but if anyone can give me idea I would be very grateful.

What does everybody use for rust effects?

What does everybody use for the rust effects on their cars? I'm not sure if Dirty Down Rust is a good choice or if I should use a combination of typhus corrosion and Ryza Rust from the citadel line.

Campaign help

I'm currently working on a campaign revolving around the villain Controller.

His goal in the game is to get access to the new stark tech eScape virtual reality devices to take control of every user and use them to further achieve his goal of controlling the world.

I have it start out with the Blood Brothers going on a rampage on the streets of New York City, and then after their defeat the discovery of the Controller's discs hopefully sparks some form of investigation. For the investigation I thought of 2 people who could help figure out what the discs are, the Tinkerer and Iron Man. after that I don't really have anything other than a part where the RAFT is having yet another prison break.

I want to keep the villain a mystery for a little bit. I think my current issue with these ideas is that the pacing seems off. If anybody is able to help me with more ideas that would be wonderful.

Scratch bashed flamethrower tanks and War rig scale question.

I'm very slowly getting into building the weapons for my gaslands cars and I'm wondering what everyone uses to make fuel canisters for flamethrowers; I would preferably like to attempt scratch bashing them as I don't have a 3d printer and can't currently afford to buy weapons and stuff off of eBay or Etsy.

I also have a question in regard to what size semi-trucks is everyone using to make a war rig. The Hot wheels trucks seem a little too small for my liking and am curious on what everyone uses for an accurate scale with hot wheels and matchbox cars

Campaign idea

Recently I got the idea to work on a campaign where the main antagonist is Gorr the God Butcher, but im struggling on how i would go about making it work. I know that Gorrs whole thing is that he's on a one man crusade against the gods of the multiverse due to him perceiving them as negligent, but im not sure how to make his crusade into a compelling story. If anybody has any ideas i would greatly appreciate it.

Apocalypse world or Atomic Highway?

I'm currently learning the rules of Atomic Highway and it's simple enough to learn, however I've heard that it's not the best for longer games due to the lack of progression for characters. I'm wanting to have a game somewhat like mad max or crossout with solid combat outside of vehicles too, so I'm curious. Is Atomic Highway the system that suits my needs the best, or is Apocalypse world better? Additionally, if there is a system that's pretty easy to learn that gives me the best of both worlds with high octane vehicle combat and races on top of a pretty solid combat system outside of cars?

Campaign ideas for Atomic Highway

Ive recently been educating myself on the rules of Atomic Highway and i have to say, the rules are pretty easy to follow along with and learn, does anybody have any campaign ideas for the game, or is this system not very good for longer running campaigns? My only game idea i have so far involves a warlord trying to conquer the wasteland.
