Mad Max Holden HJ Sandman

[spencer1984]

Forgot to post this earlier: Max & Jessie's HJ Panel from the original Mad Max. DDA's kit was pretty good, so my changes were limited: I fixed the grille (originally cast to have the chunk of gate sticking out of it as in the movie scene); replaced the center of the spare tire to eliminate the cast-in lugnuts and center cap; added rope to the roof rack; used Fireball Modelworks decals for the tires; and used my own decals for the fender gills and side markers. A full writeup of the build is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

Cool build, it looks just as it was in the movie. Really well done Bill. 

PS. A chain with Gundalini's hand would be a cool detail. ?

Cheers, 

David. ??

Another nice movie replica.

Every time I see one of these the first thing I think of is mad max. Nice build!

Great looking paint finish and color. Have always liked our sedan deliveries so this body style is very appealing. The additional detailing with the roof rack looks good.

I wish I could get the dda kits but I have no way to order them

? I reckon a toy plastic soldier could sacrifice his hand for that added detail. ??

That is a great build of Max’s Sandman. Just like the original movie version. ??

Cheers, Stu.

Way cool. I have wanted some kits from the movie.

Funny enough, the kit actually does include a metal chain and tiny plastic hand ?

I bought this one through Anthony's Diecasts, they ship worldwide and their prices are as good as could be reasonably expected.

The reason I can’t get them is cause I don’t have credit or debit cards

Very cool and rare around here. Just as I remember it.

[spencer1984]

Thanks!

Someone I know buys prepaid gift cards for use online. In their case it works as both a spending limiter and extra level of security between online shopping and their bank, but it would also work in lieu of credit/debit cards.

the downside with the visa gift cards is they can only be used on purchases within the us and it's territories you cant buy anything from sellers outside the those areas i know i have been limited when buying on ebay with them
