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. i DSCF0172 by aus_mus, on Flickr ilgiustizieredellastradamkv_snapshot_000445_20150419_204924 by aus_mus, on Flickr DSCF0173 by aus_mus, on Flickr DSCF0174 by aus_mus, on Flickr DSCF0175 by aus_mus, on Flickr DSCF0176 by aus_mus, on Flickr

that's a very eye-catching paint job

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. eleanor01 by aus_mus, on Flickr eleanor02 by aus_mus, on Flickr eleanor03 by aus_mus, on Flickr eleanor04 by aus_mus, on Flickr eleanor05 by aus_mus, on Flickr eleanor11 by aus_mus, on Flickr

3D printed "Sledge Hammer" Dodge St.Regis

"6 years later..." ^this is why

nice build and a nice dedication to the original owner

excellent work as usual

fabulous build

fabulous build, and a great rescue

This is a bespoke build. thanks for sharing

nice buggy. deleting the front bumper makes it look much better

yellowsportwagon, awesome build of a factory correct XB falcon. we don't see many of these here. 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.

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

flaming good

it looks good but might look better lowered more.

amazing custom beetle

This looks good. i've heard that Cassandra (Elvira) still owns the original movie car.

this is the best looking build of this kit i've seen.

awesome build

Looks good. i like the rake.

Nice build.

I went the route of 'found spares' and scratch building most of mine ghoste02 by aus_mus, on Flickr

When your model looks better than the box art, you've done a good job

The glass was cracked and the bumper missing a chunk. i repainted it and replaced the glass. started like this: DSCF0016 by aus_mus, on Flickr DSCF0082 by aus_mus, on Flickr Got it repainted in tamiya red primer and clear coated that. painted chassis and interior plain black.
