Dave Van Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 I have a resin TNT Mad Max Falcon from the first movie. The detail is not fantastic.....about like the 4 door you have. If you are interested in it or a trade contact me and I'll send photos etc. BTW I built a MM Falcon from the first movie from a 72 Torino, 73 Mustang and lots of sheet plastic. Not 100% correct but I built it back in 1980 or so and was the best I could do at the time!
Dave Van Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 OK.....I took new photos of my 1983 build of the Mad Max Falcon. But first some dis-claimers! I built this in the pre internet era. I had one magazine article and a fuzzy VHS copy to work off. Very little hard info on the car. It was what was going to be the first of a series of builds from the movie. The other cars I found were much harder to create. It did spawn builds from all the movies in the end....which continues today. This build was going to replicate the Falcon as it might have been the day they acquired the car to lure Max. So keep this all in mind when looking at this build!! I still like the model as it has a somewhat nostalgic quality to me!!! It is a JoHan 1972 Gran Torino promo with MPC 1973 Mustang hood and fenders. The Monza nose is sheet stock with BMF headlight covers. Crud but still works in a way! Wheels and tires are Otaki which are the same ones in the kit now out! Chassis id the promo unaltered...the interior the promo altered to RHD and Mad Max details. The engine is just the blower and scoop.....kinda predicting what the kit would do years later!!! The scoop was hand made....doubt I could replicate it today! the spoilers are sheet stock. Two tone black paint. Tag was dry transfer lettering. Thanks!!!
Dave Van Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Just for fun......from MMIII Tina Turner's Chariot. Made much like the real vehicle from a Ford truck chassis.......and tons of parts box stuff!!! Thx
