The FJ Holden (movie)

[kruleworld]

The movie is about a young fella in the late 1970s, partaking in life's pleasures of Cars, Girls and Booze. it's a glimpse into australian life at the time (1970s).This is the Protagonist's Holden in the movie before he fixes it up. It's a typical young person's ride, not much to look at but something to learn to drive in and escape the boredom of suburbia and do a bit of street racing. Later in the movie, he paints it canary yellow.

The model is ADR resin kit. i didn't bother to detail it. i just mimicked the 'work-in-progress' paint job. i had to fabricate a rear parcel shelf since they either missed it or never included one. interior is sprayed in Vinyl brown paint. i added the number plates NSW BAD-781 by printing onto photo paper from MS Word.

Great subject and real good work. Comparing the model to the photo, I think the primers need to be distressed more. Some 1000 grit maybe?

I can cast you a set of wheels if you like. Send me a pm if you are interested.

that is a super kool model and concept. i lived in australia in late 70s and it is fun to reminisce about that time when i see that car.

those wheels are amazingly halibrand like arent they? maybe a bit more deep dished and just a bit awkward looking but very similar look.

thanks for sharing your build; i found it very interesting!

i take it its a curbside, no motor?
