It's >almost< done Neil! It's been delayed because I lost a part and had to get a replacement from the manufacturer 😔 It's in paint now, Cundalini's hand and some of the roof rack gear are a flexble rubber material that I haven't painted yet, it shouldn't (🙄 will be) a drama.
You lucky man! Your wife is a keeper, that's for certain. That's a sweet kit. It looks like you'll enjoy putting that together. I just realised, I have only watched Mad Max once. I wonder if it's on Netflix?
It's not on Australian Netflix, don't know about Canadian Netflix. You need to watch it Gerry so when I spend the whole build video saying things like 'kick 'er in the guts Barry' and 'you've seen it, you've heard it, and ya still asking questions' etc etc you won't assume I've lost my mind. 'She, is sent by the bronze, full of treachery' I could go on all day dude.
Hey PB, Cool unboxing. I got mine today too but I chose the Sandman Van. I have the Max van in 1/64 scale by ACE models. and one hand made by George Hodges from Hodges Hotwheels and Diecast. Looking forward to see how you go with this one. Cheer's JV
Thanks JV and BK. The ACE models are nice cars. Call me a grub, but I can't work out why the Sandman was the same price as the Max Van, with all the extras in the Max Van, I expected it to be dearer than the Sandy.
Was an awesome surprise, hope some one comes up with a Jessie and Sprog 3D file. The Nightrider, that was his name, remember him when you look up at the night sky lol.
I know right? If they won't ship to Finland, always happy to be an intermediary and ship it to you Asko. The same company has made Nightrider's Monaro and the Big Bopper MFP car in diecast too, can only hope those kits will come out one day too.
Yes it is Neil, hope we get the XB Falcon 'Big Bopper' and Interceptor as well. The Aoshima kit goes for mental money now. I only learned recently that the film was overdubbed outside of Australia lol. Didn't think we were THAT unintelligible 🤣
It sure is, I'm trawling the 3D File sites for figures, but it's all Mad Max 2 and Fury Road stuff. I could probably make the ice cream, toe-cutter might be a different story for me lol.
Just an observation they have surplied a 6 cylinder exhaust pipe but you will be fitting a V8 motor so looks like an exhaust build heading your way ..... 👍
Yeah it’s a bit weird, it has one pipe and muffler molded into the base, and the second one as a separate piece, I suppose it lets them make both 6 & 8 versions at a reasonable cost, but it can’t be terribly accurate. I saw some images on a 3D Printing page of a replacement ‘open’ chassis which is really interesting.
Hi there mate have hey got a plastic hand to hang on the side but you said they got one i have to get one i got three Holden of these great models iama Ford fan but i had to buying them 1 of them is a not the king wood bloody wag 2nd one HQ monaro with a LS supercharged motor and the 3rd one is a HJ van a kustom van with a LS twin turbos motors mate i them looking forward of building them soon i been making models for 40years its past time mate so I hope you had a great Christmas and I hope you have a great safe new year mate,
I had a great Christmas and the New Year has been ok too (so far anyway) Yep, it's got the hand and chain, but the hand and some of the swags for the roof rack are rubber like the seats, so I guess it's gonna be acrylics for that. I'm not far off finishing the van (I think lol) I wish they made a HQ / HJ Station Wagon, that'd be awesome.
I don’t, but I lost one of the parts when I was painting it, sent DDA an email, they said get in touch with where I bought it from and they can organise a replacement, I haven’t received it yet, but that could be the way to go. Also I’m in a Facebook group ‘Scalebuilt Garage Australia’, a few DDA builders on there, maybe worth a crack?
Great presentation PB. Thanks for sharing this video PB😎👍🏻
Thank you Paul, that's very kind of you.
So looking forward to this build love Mad Max film series 👌🏻
Well I've hooked into this one already Ben, so should be sooner rather than later!
Very cool kit build bro
It most certainly is!
can't wait to see that one put together and lets give a big hand to Cundalini , oh wait he's already got one 👍👍👍
It's >almost< done Neil! It's been delayed because I lost a part and had to get a replacement from the manufacturer 😔 It's in paint now, Cundalini's hand and some of the roof rack gear are a flexble rubber material that I haven't painted yet, it shouldn't (🙄 will be) a drama.
Awesome I can now build me old HJ Panel Van wish I still had the bugga today.
That’s the best bit having Aussie cars to build, making replicas of cars we all actually owned as opposed to Hemi Challengers and Camaros.

I look forward to seeing both your builds 😊

Love the hand lol. I still got start my HQ cheers Graham
After the incredible response to the HQ Build Invite, I'm gonna build this one at my own pace too Graham 🤣
@@PBsRetroRestorations lol. I get mine done for next father's Day I hope
I was going to ask about the hand and chain! Absolutely great, we remember the "Nightrider!"
Was an awesome surprise, hope some one comes up with a Jessie and Sprog 3D file. The Nightrider, that was his name, remember him when you look up at the night sky lol.
Omg, I gotta get a hold of this one some how and the holden. Thanks for sharing this video PB😎👍🏻. Take care and have a awesome coming week

its been years since i seen the movie. this was the red family car he had correct? wicked model kit. looking forward to seeing it done
Yes it is Neil, hope we get the XB Falcon 'Big Bopper' and Interceptor as well. The Aoshima kit goes for mental money now. I only learned recently that the film was overdubbed outside of Australia lol. Didn't think we were THAT unintelligible 🤣
So cool
It really is, it'd be a lot cooler if I got it finished, it's coming, honest 🤣
That is a great model only way this would be better is if they had toe-cutter and an ice cream cone. 😊
It sure is, I'm trawling the 3D File sites for figures, but it's all Mad Max 2 and Fury Road stuff. I could probably make the ice cream, toe-cutter might be a different story for me lol.
Not even 2mins in Peter and I want it, I do have the Kingsford and gts ,so looking forward to this,thankyou
No problem! I’ve started building it already so that build shouldn’t be far away.
Just an observation they have surplied a 6 cylinder exhaust pipe but you will be fitting a V8 motor so looks like an exhaust build heading your way ..... 👍

Hey brother do you know any one that has built the blown version and hasn’t used the rims. I’m 90% done and putting the axle in broke the mag.
I don’t, but I lost one of the parts when I was painting it, sent DDA an email, they said get in touch with where I bought it from and they can organise a replacement, I haven’t received it yet, but that could be the way to go.
