kruleworld Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 This is Captain Risky's Stunt Falcon...Budget Direct – an Australian insurance company – have thrown us into 2015 with their new ‘Kick It and Rip It’ campaign with "Captain Risky". He makes his black and blue debut as a daredevil who’s just, well, not that good. But it’s funny and ridiculous and that is the success of this ad. It shows us someone so buffoonish, so uninsurable, that next to him, anyone can be insured. The Falcon XB is from ThePartsBox.com and the decals are printed by Pattos Place. The Roof engine is scratchbuilt. Check him out here
Harry P. Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Not exactly my cup of tea as far as subject matter goes... But man, that's a cool model! Very nice work all around, About the only comment I have is to suggest a black wash on the wheels to bring out the detail.
gluebum Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I don't know why exactly.... but is very cool!!
Maindrian Pace Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Great replica, and I love how Captain Risky has an American accent.
ChrisBcritter Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Great replica, and I love how Captain Risky has an American accent.Agreed on both. Is this an American actor trying to sort of sound Australian, or vice versa? From mumbrella.com:"When quizzed on the decision to create an American character as opposed to an Australian character, Kerr said the idea of a stuntman felt 'quintessentially' American.'When the daredevil character came up as the lead element immediately it felt it was quintessentially American as a character, a genre,' he said.'We also love the optimism of Americans in the way they think they can always make it bigger, more stupendous. When he talks, the way he talks, he always sounds American and we felt it was far more believable.'It researched very strongly that people associated and understood the character immediately with the American accent,' he added."
JTalmage Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Lmao!!! This is awesome! The workmanship and the subject! The jet engine strapped to the roof with rope cracks me up!!!
Mr Stock Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Any Aussie falcon model is good in my eyes, Ive often wondered what those Partsbox kits look like, Great work mate.
rustybill1960 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I Love it!! Great Video! Thank You for sharing Later Russ
