Alright maybe I am nuts but I will park these two illustrations here for the moment as a project I do want to build. It will take scratchbuilding and kitbashing skills to achieve this but it will lead to some further insights for me—as well as a model I want. I did not list scale as I am thinking about those 1/8 scale beautiful big scale models produced in the Sixties by Monogram as a starting point.

Re: Mad Max: Fury Road. Nux’s Car.
Thanks, amigo—refresh my memory on the origins of “Saaaaaweeeeeet!” Gracias! Also the debate is on to make this as the early concept ‘32 Ford Deluxe Coupe or the ‘34 Chevy 5-Window Coupe as the intermediate version. The final was the Chevy Coupe with a bare metal finish. I kinda like the Black Pitch version more than a little bit at the moment. Finding kits may be a bear! I was going to toss together a study model from a Revell-O-Gasm Ford Special Edition Ford 5-Window Coupe, but I would like to research more and wait for funds to go on a treasure hunt.

“Saaaaaaaaaweeeeeeet” was just something I would say to something that brought excitement to me. There are different versions depending on my mood, like “schhhhaaaaaaweeeeeet!speedgraflex wrote:Thanks, amigo—refresh my memory on the origins of “Saaaaaweeeeeet!” Gracias!

Re: Mad Max: Fury Road. Nux’s Car.
This is gonna rock man! I will follow this well!
I saw somewhere else someone was building the Fury Road War Rig in 1/72 scale. Now that is something I'd love to do!
I only wish I'd seen it completed....
