Dr. Cranky Posted January 30, 2012 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Van Posted January 30, 2012 Share 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!!!

John Teresi Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share 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.

crazyjim Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Bright idea with the light bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted January 31, 2012 Share 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.
