  • Here she is! A few things to change eventually, but... I'm still amazed to see this in my driveway, haha. A Dorothy from the movie Twister!
    Dorothy II, based loosely on one specific Dorothy. There were 6 to 8 Dorothy's made for the movie, and the way I tell them apart is the weld line on the barrel. This one is based mostly on the one that has the weld line through the D in Dorothy. My 1995 Ram 2500 V10 4x4 and this Dorothy are meant to represent the Ram's first chase after the Jeep is dropped.
    If anyone wants to build a Dorothy, no matter the accuracy, please contact me! I'll share anything and everything needed to build one of these. As an autistic individual, I was 5 when I first saw Twister, and it became my hyperfixation. This is 10+ years of research made real. I'm living my childhood dream - and I'd love to help others experience this too.
    Here's the features:
    As accurate as possible
    Lights, sound system, on-board battery
    Gauges lining the top of the barrel read battery level
    Detachable solar panel inside sensor tray
    Mechanical lid opening mechanism
    Sound system controls on buttom bus connector box, one button to play the score, one button for the siren, a kill button and a on/off switch
    Accurate vintage parts, reproductions where needed
    Custom drop in tray that rests on sensor tray, custom tray used for ice and beverages

    One day I'll make my own Dorothy and I'll have my own 90s red Ram truck to go with it! This was really cool to see.

    Great work! I've been wanting to build a replica Dorothy since I first saw the movie when I was about 12. I'm glad you said you wanted to help others with what you learned building this one... I was a fabricator for a while and I still do blueprints/models occasionally, I'd be happy to take your information and start working on a 3D model and fabrication blueprints.

    Absolutely amazing work on Dorothy 2! Someday I'm looking at building two of them to put in the back of my truck. It will be quite a while yet so hopefully you have the plans available by then! You really did a fantastic job!

    What would the dimensions of her be mostly the yellow frame and the silver drum? I’m look in to making one and I can’t find a good scale online or the movie since none of the actors stand straight up or on level ground in the movie, it would be amazing if you could tell me. Thank you for you time

      Yep! If you look up 'The Paxtonmobile' on FB, you'll find my build page/behind the scenes collection. I keep my decade-long research for Dorothy there in an album.
