Zealot

Ever since I can remember wanting to own my first car, this is the car I wanted to own.

Mad Max 1 and 2 are classics, as is this car. I still don't own a real one, and now that it's all but a collectors item I doubt i'll be building a real replica of this in my lifetime, so thanks to Claudio, I can still build it and own one... sortof. :D

The model itself looks great. It's not too basic but it's also not too simple for my liking, all the recognisable details are in the model, but I plan to add extra detail thanks to some very good pictures I found of a replica prop.

After finding the above pics, I considered obtaining permission to alter the model and give it opening/closing doors and hood (and add the rest of the engine) just so I could show more of the details I'll be adding.

Most of the detail I'll be adding will be to the interior, as for the outside, i'll be adding to the existing detail if i'm not happy with the way the parts look, i'll also be emphasizing some existing details if I can (ie: clear plastic lights etc).

Without a doubt, the main "standout" feature on this car is the engine and in the case of this model, the blower. I have had this model on hold for weeks, waiting till I could find a suitable silver/chrome paper or cardstock... needless to say I found it, so there's a good chance the engine will look a lot more like the real thing now.

So without further ado... here comes one of the coolest cars of all time... in paper n stuff....
