Lowlife ! ! Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) I've been thinking of building this for some time now, the Christine 58 Fury, but after Buddy Repperton and the gang trash it. One of my favourite films of all time it hurts to see the film car destroyed, its also hard to recreate it ! There is a build thread in the workbench, and its now parked up in its new home, an old Fujimi garage I adapted to look vaguely like the garage scene. I took these pics at the models first outing, a large car show in the UK. Thanks to those who followed the build, and enjoy the pics ! Edited August 7, 2017 by Lowlife ! !
57peppershaker Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Fantastic build & finished car Martin. I did see it yesterday at Buster Langs but not all details that are in the pics.
MrObsessive Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 I gotta say that is one fantastic recreation! Y'all know how I feel about the "stock" '58 Belvedere, but this came out terrific! Gotta love the "busted" windshield............no safety glass in 1958! Take a bow Martin!!
62rebel Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Sorry, Bill, but laminated safety glass was universal by 1941..... Hollywood, however, ignores history on a daily basis!
DumpyDan Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Well done my man, I watched from the start thanks for all the update pictures
espo Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 I followed your build and I knew it would be great, but it turned out even better than I thought.
Simon Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Amazing! Looks horribly close to how I remember it looking in the film, and Ron's post above proves it!A sad sight, but we all know what happened next.....
Impalow Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 Looks awesome Martin! Always a fan of a movie car build!
