They look great on your Max, mate! So happy to hear they arrived safely and you like 'em. That's what I like to hear
That is looking fantastic.
I would love to see Hot Toys take a crack at this figure.

Yeah that would be something, I cant see it happening though.

The two tools he carries on the rear of his belt are from the Australian Fire Brigade: 1) a pickaxe with the wooden handle cut short, and 2) a fire hydrant wrench.
Yeah and its just typical they are the sort of tools that no one make in 1/6, the wrench is particular is very specific looking. Thats why making a Max bash is a real pain in the ass.

Honestly, I would just sculpt them in green stuff (kneadatite). They're not overly complicated in terms of shape, size and detail.
The fire hydrant wrench always seemed like an odd choice to me. Why is it something you would want to carry on yourself constantly as a survival tool? Everything else in his equipment set makes sense.
Agreed, The feral kids metal boomerang is a much better choice imo.
Added some weathering. Max looks pretty dusty in the 2nd film.

It makes perfect sense to me. It's HOT in most parts of Australia; water is essential for survival. Even if the water systems have long been de-pressurized and out of service, there might be just a few cups of water inside every hydrant, ~IF~ you can open them. You might need to insert a rubber hose and suck the water out, but there would inevitably be some water down there. A man who carries a hydrant wrench would have a huge survival advantage. The average city has hundreds of fire hydrants. Even after a nuclear war, the hydrants and underground pipes would still be in place- even if the whole city is gone.

The tools were never removed from their pouches in the film, but you can see the metal V-neck and wooden handle of the pickaxe, and the handle of the hydrant wrench. It's easy to know what the tools are, even without seeing them- because the shape of the handles and pouches match the actual standard-issue tools for the Australian Fire Brigade. If you look closely, you can see the shape of the axe head through the leather.

I guess it mainly depends if you want you're figure accurate or not, you see his back a few times, when hes crawling, walking towards the oil refinery etc. Ive seen the movie a fair few times and only just noticed the nude chick on the gyro.

You asked for a screenshot. I gave you one of the best frames in the film that shows the belt pouches. Then you asked again if the pouches appear in the film, (as if I didn't just confirm it for you) and you complain about a tiny, blurry nude... If you think a screenshot is 'bad taste', how did you react to seeing the whole film? (did you ever?) Are you a puritan?... It's an R-rated, extremely violent movie. Your comment is very odd.

Yeah in a post apocalyptic world, clean water is probably more precious then gasoline. You can last just days without water, especially in a desert.
