1/24 Polar lights Bat mobile - not

[kpnuts]

Hi all well i had a problem with this when I started it, the paint reacted with the plastic and no amount of barrier coats or anything else seemed to sort it so I decided to just build it as best I could, but then found the decals fell apart and what didn't, didn't stay on when dry even whist spraying gloss coat on them to seal them the air from my airbrush blew them off so I stripped it all off again and decided to do something totally different I know the paintwork will never be great but hopefully the differing colours will help to hide it, so,,,, can you guess who drives a car like this.

Hi all maybe this will help, lots more of these on the sides, not this car in the movie

[Zarana-X]

Looks like Main Force Patrol colors...

[iamsuperdan]

Was going to say the same.

 

Will this have "Interceptor" across the back?

I cant really see how I could fit it there, but yes that's what it's supposed to be, I did think of the later films where there was lots of spikey things and lots of weathering on the car, which would help with the rubbish paintwork, but I love the style of this car and couldn't bring myself to spoil it.

Hi all here is a little update on this one.

[kpnuts]

Another quickie

What's  Main Force? like the take o the batmobile, amazing what happens without planning it!

[kpnuts]

Main force patrol is from the film mad max it was set in the future (would be the past now) where crime was rife and main force were the understaffed police force Max was the best of the best and his wife and child were killed by a bike gang and he went out a killed all of them (that's a very brief synopsis of the film, and I mean very breif) there were more films to follow but the first was by far the best and it starred an unknown Mel Gibson, not so unknown now.

Ahh, OK, I don't remember the police force in that film!

[cobraman]

I don't think I ever saw one that wasn't painted black. That is different !

[kpnuts]

In the start of the film before he's driving one in these colours but is thinking of leaving and they tempt him to stay by giving him the blown black one he uses in the rest of the film.

Hi all well this is as far as I'm going to get on this at the moment as I need some dry transfer letters but we're on holiday from Friday and I won't be ordering them till we get back I think that's all that needs doing on this now, I always knew the paintwork was never going to be great as that's why it's all the colours it is but I have to say I'm quite pleased how it's turned out.

It must have been a huge car as in the last pic you can see its next to a 1/16 VW and it's longer, for a 2 seater car I think it must have been mahosive.

There is a baja style Volkswagen here in my neighborhood painted up in this color scheme with interceptor on the back. Something different for sure.
