Hi all well i had a problem with this when I started it, the paint reacted with the plastic and no amount of barrier coats or anything else seemed to sort it so I decided to just build it as best I could, but then found the decals fell apart and what didn't, didn't stay on when dry even whist spraying gloss coat on them to seal them the air from my airbrush blew them off so I stripped it all off again and decided to do something totally different I know the paintwork will never be great but hopefully the differing colours will help to hide it, so,,,, can you guess who drives a car like this.    Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Ken I am with you on that one and "feel the pain" Many many years ago when i was still young (yep a long tine ago) mum and dad told me to share with my younger brother and took a treasured TR7 mdel and let him dabble. As i remember he used car paints which in them days were still cellulose based rather than all the safe acrylic we have now. The car body turned out like those pictures you see of dryed out deserts with the small hexagonal pieces of mud with cracks all around. Still to this day i miss that kit (seem to recall it was bandai or imai brand) and over the years i have tried to replace but the last one i looked at on eBay they wanted near on £100. Ps These tablet devices are great no questions on that. But if you have "sausage" fingers like me the spelling leaves a lot to be desired. Just corrected the above post because in its original form it looks like officer crabtree ( the french policeman in all allo) typed it :-) "The car bidy" - what am. Like? :-) Happy Modelling

Hi all its been pointed out that I have the paint job wrong for mad max, I can't correct all the colour scheme (oil and cellulose don't mix) so, since this car was not in the film I used artistic licence.    Ken's the name modeling's the game.

This is your build in the tradition of the 'Mad Max Films' you could even say its your tribute to the films so anyone who knocks it is simply a rivet counter and has no soul. Doing this sort of off the wall stuff is what your good at and long may you confound the sticklers to correctness and those who pick fly's at what you do. I think what confounds most is your ability to see things that the majority cant see and it bugs them big style. Just my opinion and long may you carry on doing what your best at. Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Nice one Ken! I get it now - the colour scheme for the Main Force Patrol cruisers that Max drove before he got the 'Last of the V8 Interceptors'!! I did an American car kit to look like one of them many years ago when the first film came out - I wonder where that's got to now? Brilliant idea, keep them coming!! Robin. PS I thought of Wolverine too! (yellow spandex and all that!)
