Nice idea. There is a model of the 'Last of the V8 Interceptors' that would sit well with it.
 
Hi Jason sorry i have no pictures but would love to see the build thread if your posting it Mad Max is one of my favourate films
 
Thread owner
How about an old rusted-up truck like the one in the movie 'Duel' ?
 
Thread owner
ok, I have made a start on the Mad Max style truck

started to build the DAF 95 XF for this and was going to brake the back of the cab so that you could see the engine.......I noticed a slight flaw with this idea.....there is no engine to this model so that out the window.

since i am just building the running gear at the moment i have not taken any pics but will if anyone wants,

have spent a lot of time getting rid of mould line since a lot of parts that would not normally be on show will be.
 
Sounds like you have a fun time ahead of you Jason.

As for the pictures, snap away, we all like to have a look at something thats a bit off the norm.

ok Ian will do, still very miffed about not having an engine
 
Nice idea Jason, I'll follow this build with enthusiasm. I love these films.

I found this site that might be of some help - Mad Max - The Road Warrior - Fury Road

Looking good Jason. I've got the Interceptor that I built a long time ago. I'de say a big cow catcher blade on the front is a must!
 
Thread owner
thanks Trey, I wanted to get the interceptor to go with it but can't get one for love nor money. think you are right a blade at the front is a must
 
Thread owner
Looking good so far. Love your great idea to do it.

A vehicle with many, many possibilities of "creation" and weathering.

Keep up the work.

I wanted the door on the cab to be open but this model was not designed for this, i have cut the door away and there is a big space where the 2nd and 3rd steps should be so i have mad a card template up for the steps and then i will make them out of plastic card when i am happy with them.

I am going to have to thicken up the door and the side walls of the cab since these look well to thin.

Thanks Polux, this is very much a make it as you go along, i have a very ruff idea of what i want but am looking for comments to help design it as i build.

Jason thats some real nice scratch work on the steps!
 
This is looking great Jason, and like Trey said "nice scratch work on the steps". Keeping an eye on this build matey.

Have fun, John
 
Thread owner
Thanks Trey and John,

the scratch build is only my template, tonight am building the one that will be fitted out of plastic card so that i can round off the edges light the bottom step.
