moparmagiclives Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I'm sure its going to be killer. Can I ask how your going to pull off the bubble top?
John Teresi Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 I'm sure its going to be killer. Can I ask how your going to pull off the bubble top? Shane......I have a friend that is making it with resin.......thanks.
Ira Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Great Choice John! Will you be bringing it to NNL West?
Dr. Cranky Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Love it, John, and the background you took the picture against is the right environment for making this one stand out.
Sixx Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Another KILLER from the man, John!!!!! gonna be cool man!!!!!
Dave Van Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Shane......I have a friend that is making it with resin.......thanks. For other folks here Plastruct makes very nice clear domes in MANY sizes. This is one Mad Max vehicle I always thought about but never built. Your 1/12 version should be killer....and I may barrow some ideas to build a 1/25 version using the 750 motor in the trike kits released a few years ago. Can't wait to see this one!!!
disabled modeler Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 SWEEEEEEEETTTT!!!!!!!!! Id love to build most of the vehicles from the first movie.
Cool Hand Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Looking foward to seeing this build evolve.
RatRodMarc Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 nice project i cant wait to see it when you start it its going to be sweet when its done i like it
skymnky721 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Wow!! Love these trike kits. I remember in the 70's,,I got a 1/16th kit called "The Draggin Wagon" and lost it yrs ago,,,not sure where it went,,but Ive always been on the lookout for it since.Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Mooneyzs Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 This ia going to be a great build John. I look forward to seeing the progress on this build.
John Teresi Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Hello.......I started on the mock-up........made a gas tank and body........everything is in the rough at this time......I used a light bulb for the mock-up to get a feel of what it will look like..... until I get my resin bubble......I will do some more work on the frame and body tomorrow......thanks for looking.
John Teresi Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 few more progress photos......thanks.
simonr Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Great start John, as alwyays!...I think that the light bulb could work not just for the mock up, if not, I think it can be used if you could be able to do a subtle cut ritgh at the center of it. Simón P. Rivera Torres
Tony T Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I was wondering what the next build by John was going to be! Now I know!! Great start, John.
