kruleworld Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 This movie from 1987 is a bit forgettable with it's story about robot wives that only have spare parts in the middle of a deserted forbidden zone, but the Mustang that Melanie Griffith's character drives is quite distinct. I had a AMT 65 mustang hardtop languishing in my junk box, so i decided to use it to make this car. At some point it's roof had been cut off and had been glued back on, so it's a bit of a junker. it was already red, so i didn't bother to repaint it. i just added the black 'burn' to the front half and the stripe across the top. i also scratchbuilt the front and rear 'bumpers' complete with winch. I also added the big tires (from the amt 73 mustang kit) which meant i needed to raise it up. rather than rebuild the chassis (which is all molded in one part) i simply added spacers to raise the body away from the chassis. i also sprayed some 'dust' across the rear. to do, i just need to finish up the weathering and photo it outside. imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092746/ a pic of the front and rear 'bumper' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Very cool. It's one of my favorite movie cars, and Melonie was pretty darn sexy in it. I have also built a replica of this car. It's in my Photobucket at the link below if you want to have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf75 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I watched this movie like 4 days ago on netflix, and thought the car would make a great model. Awesome job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dig Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Cool subject! I too recently saw this flick not too long ago on IFC or something and yeah, it sucked but still cool to watch. 80s sci-fi rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCat Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Very very nice... I saw this film when I was a teenager and just recently seen the film again in Netflix and I completely forgot about that Mustang. I also was thinking of creating a model of it.
