kruleworld Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 This is my build of Max's car from the first movie. It's an Aoshima Road Warrior kit with a mm1 resin transkit from Frank. the kit is the latest release with the photoetch extras. The build went very well, except for the boot lid, which i had major trouble with the hinge and making it fit. (brass rod snaps if you bend it too much!) I plan to use the left over upgrade parts to fix up my previously built Road Warrior Interceptor.
AZ Boy Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Good job on that! I always loved that car from the first movie.
Ben Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Love it!!!!! What parts are photo etch? I have both kits you mentioned but I bought my resin kit years ago off Ebay and it doesn't have any photo etch?
Mike_G Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 (brass rod snaps if you bend it too much) Not if you anneal it first by heating it until it's cherry-red, then immediately quenching it in water. That makes brass "dead-soft" and very easy to bend. Cool build btw.
Mike_G Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 I saw this at a Ford meet a few years back- the driver got out of the car in full Road Warrior regalia, including a fake leg brace
Prince Ital Mike Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Well done, the Night Rider has no chance to escape
