this is a replica of the 72 vh valiant charger xl  driven by the character michael ryan in the classic aussie tv series RYAN  staring rod mullinar as michael ryan a former police officer now private investigator  the show ran for 39 episodes from 73 to 74 and was produced by crawford production for the seven network it had a crossover episode with another long running aussie cop series called homicide 
in one episode ryan's charger got submerged under water almost up to the windows he would get another one same color but with a different plates 
the body is resin printed 
the interior pan and chassis and rims and tires  and front windshield came from my parts boxes 
i made the figurine of ryan using a g scale model railroad passenger figurine 
i painted the body rust-oleum bright coat copper 
the interior i painted rust-oleum 2x flat black primer 
i hand made the front and back plates 
i have the ryan theme song playing in the background of the video

Very cool Charger there Michelle, it reminds me of my Valiant Charger. I don't recall ever seeing this show but at that age (6-7yrs) I wasn't aloud to watch those type of programs. Well done on your 3d model.

Nice work Michelle,👍🏻 I’ve always loved the shape of the Aussie Chargers. I’m aware of the old TV show this Charger is from, but, like David, I was not old enough to stay up late enough to watch it. 😄

crawford productions sell every on of there series on dvd i know i would love to get the box set of the ryan series and all the box sets of the homicide series and the division 4 series and the matlock police series and the cop shop series the downside is they are only able to sell them in australia and new zealand they also have a uk distributer but most likely have the same type of restrictions 
i have only seen clips from all these shows i do have digital mp4 copies of the classic aussie cop show bluey staring lucky grilles which ran for 36 episodes from 1975 to 1976
