kruleworld Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 This is from the Tarrantino movie 'Death Proof'. The model is the AMT 72 Nova. i've gutted the interior and added the full roll cage, including the passenger tractor seat. It also has the Duck hood ornament and DP skull logo. i did the BMF around the windows and blackwashed the grille.
jrherald420 Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Ok so where did you get the hood ornament? I have been looking for a source for them for 3 months now and nothing!.
kruleworld Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 I believe i found them on Ebay. I'd been looking for about six months. i bought two.
PowerPlant Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Nice build! I've also been on a lookout for the hood ornament and a nice in-scale tractor seat... Any links would certainly be helpful
Chris White Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 very nice, glad to washed the grill and added the BMF
grayghost Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Great build,and the kert russell is a nice touch.I have always thought that duck was the one used in convoy.10 - 4 pigpen you got a copy on the rubber duck common.Any one up for molding some ducks?
Stuntman Mike Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Great built of my favorite movie car. I love Death Proof!!! When I built my model (http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=73739&hl=) I was constantly asked about the rubber duck hood ornament, too. I got mine from a fellow modeler. AITM has a resin model of the Mack truck and as far as I know they wanted to offer the hood ornament seperately. Try it here: http://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/contact.html The tractor seat is a rather simple one-hour scratchbuild-mission. The sheet styrene can be "massaged" into shape and the recessed details can be die-punched with a piece of metal. The five round...things...in the middle were done carefully with a small drill.
jrherald420 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 They do cast the duck by its self but they have not made any in years. At least thats what the owner told me. I contacted him about it and he told me that he was going to cast how many ever i wanted. I told him i wanted 10 of them but he has yet to get to making them. Its been 3 months now, dont think he is in a hurry. lol
Dragfreak Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I haven't ever heard of what the movies called or anything about it but nice scratch building and great work!
