max's v8 interceptor from hope and glory a mad max fan film

[michelle]

this is a replica I built of one of the two v8 interceptors used in the amazing very well made hope and glory a mad max fan film https://youtu.be/ScyL5W8HZkM?si=NfQkrqaTjiJIyzOcI did mix elements from both cars like rims and right hand drive dash from the other v8 interceptor used in the fan film and I do have some of the audio from the fan film trailer and a bit of the opening news reports audio for the film playing in the background I want to thank Erik van schoor and Adrian Martin for the wonderful HD photos of the cars and of Daniel grave's max so I could build this replica
i used a 1975 gran torino parts car and modified the rear roof and trunk line into the sports roof roof/trunk line just like they did with their gran torino v8 interceptor made for the fan film  they used Adrian martin's v8 interceptor he built using a jag xjs which was the right hand drive dash car and was used for most close up shots  of the car and was used for all the interior shots as well 
the rest of this model came from my parts boxes except for the hood and large guzzolene tank  which i scratch made both 
i made the tan tarp/cover attached to the interior roof is a piece of paper towl  paint brush painted with  apple barrel matte khaki acrylic paint i created the rust paint by mixing apple barrel matte chestnut and apple barrel matte harvest orange and folkart metallic antique copper acrylic craft paints and brush painted it on in the same patterns as the actual cars from the fan film 
i made the max figure using the Han solo figure from the revell solo a star wars story han's landspeeder build and play snap kit

G’day Michelle. Oh yeah, that interceptor has been out in the apocalyptic wasteland. Nice repurposing of Han Solo as a stand in for Max Rockatansky! Good stuff.??

Cheers, Stu.

Neat job, Michelle.  It is impressive how well you captured the feel of a Falcon by converting a Torino - not everyone does this as successfully as you did!

Cheers
