  1. Exterminators is a low budget Mad Max post apocalyptic movie from 1983. 

    The model is an Otaki 1/24 Ford Thunderbird that i rebuilt in red primer and added weathering and dust effects along with some accessories like protective bars and a 'scanner' in the hood.

  2. i did mine with the heat/bend method and it looked unrealistic, so tried a foiled impression replacement and this looks much better 

    i got some heavy foil (it was sealing a beverage can). this was pressed over the straight panel. i then bent it up, then back filled with bondo to hold it's shape. Since the foil is silver, any where it is scratched shows as metal. a bit of grey and black will help the look. if you want primer to show through, sticking some poster tack or liquid mask before top coat.

    Very nice Falcon.  A friend gave me this diecast years ago.  It says Model 56 Interceptor on the bottom.

    I've got one of those Model 56 diecasts. they are not very accurate and not very well made. I used the body to make the Road Warrior 'Bat xa' car.

    Nice save and it looks like Roy Scheider's girlfriend character Vega in Blue Thunder. 

    That was the inspiration. i've got a blue thunder helicopter model to build one day.
