Tompidom Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Well most of you probably have seen all of the Fast and Furious movie's, I know i have seen all of the most of them more then once. And I just can't let the passinf of a great movie star go by without doing anything. So i will be building the Carrera Gt he passed away in as a tribute. Maybe some of you would like to join me in this build. Feel free to do so. You can post your wips in this thread. Ill start with mine I have orderd the CF template set from hiroboy.com http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=597 Also i orderd a PE set http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=452 And Porsche Guards Red http://www.hiroboy.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=988 And this is the car I will be replecating Edited March 16, 2014 by Tompidom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Very nice tribute. While not a fan of the F&F movies I did enjoy his appearances on Shark Men. 40 is is far too young to leave this plain and the irony of the circumstance is beyond weird. Do a great job.

wkennerley Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 What a great idea, a pity I do not have anything to build that would be linked to him or any of the films - I will keep an eye on this build though Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshawk Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I watched the first movie twice last night. Beyond ironic cause of death , and really sad at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantacmet Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 This was sad, just as he was getting to be well known in the acting world, he wasn't given enough credit with his acting talent. I see alot of mega famous actors that can best be described as hacks, but was at least mostly believable in the F&F films. 40 though man the guy is older then I am and I thought I was a good 8-10 years older then he was. Dude looked WAY young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.camaro Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I agree it was very sad but at least he got to go doing something he was passionate about. I will be building the eclipse from the first movie as a tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemi Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 This should be a great tribute to Paul,I am a huge fan of the fnf movies,I know alot of the stuff in the movies could never happen but they were such kool movies and Paul,to me was a great actor and will be missed. I have the eclipse and the supra from the first movie and as i heard the news of his death I thought I'd build them as a tribute to Paul.

Captain Obvious Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I actually have one of these kits in progress right now, and I would probably do the same if I wasn't almost finished with the paintwork on it. I will be watching your build though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Great tribute!!! I'll be watching... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Just thought I would share this. This is a picture from the crash site of what people have put there, someone put a Tamiya R34 there. Good to see a modeler wishing Paul to R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB08 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I find it so hard to believe he's gone. Paul was one of the few actors that I enjoyed watching. So sad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Van Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I've built a few FnF cars in scale.....I have a GTR for the blue car Paul had in one of the films...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I've built a few FnF cars in scale.....I have a GTR for the blue car Paul had in one of the films......Been wanting to build that for awhile now, that would be number 4, or Fast And The Furious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerPlant Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) This should be cool... The "Little Bastard", car James Dean was killed in (interestingly, also a Porsche - a 550 Spyder), became hugely popular as a replica after he died... I wonder if we'll start seeing more of these red GT Carreras with black wheels now? I hope your project turns out a nice tribute Are you also going to replicate the car's license plate? Apparently, this photo of Paul getting into the Porsche was taken just moments before the crash occurred...

Skydime Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Tom, pretty scary we both had the same idea. I was perusing for this kit today and I just now saw this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantacmet Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I would love to do an R34 like he drove in F&F2. May pick one up this weekend if I can afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydime Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Maybe rally some interest in a community Paul Walker tribute build? Sort of like a way for car guys to pay tribute to a car guy. And I am not too familiar with the racing career of Roger Rodas but, for anyone that is, maybe build some of his rides as well. EDIT Didn't know one was already in progress http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82270 Edited December 3, 2013 by Skydime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tompidom Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Tom, pretty scary we both had the same idea. I was perusing for this kit today and I just now saw this. No problem, The more the marier, Would love to see someone else build it. I am building it for me and I hope that won't stop you from building it fro yourself!

Lownslow Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I find it a little disrespectful to start honoring a man by building the same vehicle he died in, not cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
