Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine

[spencer1984]

Mostly box stock build of Aoshima's new-for-2024 tooling. There's a WIP thread here, and a full writeup is available here. As always, any comments/criticisms are welcome!

The biggest change I made from the kit was the addition of Goodyear/Eagle GT tire decals from Fireball Modelworks.

Using aftermarket wiring would look better, but I wanted to see how all these went together. Except for the step where the upper and lower wiring meets on the right side of the center console, everthing went together great.

I think I used just about every metallic color variant I had to add some variety to the rear deck.

Another beautiful movie model.

Great looking DeLorean time machine. Very well done. 

[thatz4u]

looks real, well done, I can't stop looking at the details....

[karbuildr]

Outstanding, excellent details.

[KWT]

Wow... that looks awesome Bill. Very nicely done

[mrm]

This is super cool. I may have to find me one of these kits. I love the movie and it looks like a very detailed model. You did a fantastic job with it too.

[shoopdog]

Wow, you did a tremendous job on what looks to be a very complicated kit.

Excellent work on a much loved movie car. Top stuff.??

Great Scott!  Doc would be impressed!  Well done on a great build there. I think this new tool kit looks so much better than the old Aoshima one. I’m considering building one as a stock Delorean. 

[Bainford]

Very cool! The variety of metal shades really sets off the detail.

Great scott that's amazing!

[Intmd8r]

Agree with everything already posted-very realistic build.

well done!

The Part I kit just had a second run and Part II is due out in December, so you should have some options!

The shape of the body is definitely better - it's subtle, but the angles look more "correct" - especially the side slopes. Along with the Part II (and likely more) release, Aoshima is also dropping a version of the kit as a stock DeLorean at the end of this month.

That may actually be my ticket - the stock Delorean. I would love to build one of those.

Amazing looking with all the minute details.

Super nice DeLorean, very well done!!

[TooOld]

Very cool !  If that's all kit wring/detailing it looks like a very well done kit . Great work !

Beautifully done Bill!

I like Aoshima's version better than Polar Lights, lots more of the interior detail represented.

The interior does indeed look amazing. I am not familiar with either kit and honestly don't know what came in it and what was added in the build, but it looks very well detailed. 

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

Thanks guys!

I'd never actually built the PL version, after doing this though I really want to take a swing at it!

Pretty much everything here is straight out of the box, the only thing I added was the tire lettering. To compare the two, the dashboard of the new Aoshima kit by itself has more individual parts than the entire interior and back deck of the Polar Lights kit. It's wild how much they included in this!

I did a WIP for the Polar Lights issue back in 2017 which shows the basic interior and some of the upgrades I made. 

There's a world of difference between the Aoshima and Polar Lights versions.

 

 

Let me know what you think Bill.
