kruleworld Posted August 25, 2015 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 25, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Great replica, and I love how Captain Risky has an American accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted August 26, 2015 Share 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."
