Model from Movie or TV show
Kit: MPC Country Charger 1969 Dodge Charger 1/25 Scale Quentin Tarantino’s tribute to 1970s car films “Death Proof” featured this Charger in the second half of the film. I did this as a class project in 2020 but really any excuse to make a model is a good one! The car is used by Stuntman …
Kit: 1970 Ford Galaxie Police Car 1/25 Scale If anyone remembers the pop/dance group The KLF (AKA The Timelords) and their music videos then this might be a familiar sight. I finally got to make this model in 2019 but it’s been on my mind since the early 1990s. This is an image from their …
Kit: Die-Cast Maisto 1998 Jeep Wrangler 1/27 Scale I picked up a half dozen of these 1/27 scale Jeep Wranglers around 2015 with the intent to make several of them. 1/27 was an odd choice but I suspect it has something to do with the size of the box. I had to grind off the …
Kit: ERTL Ecto-1a 1959 Miller-Meteor Ambulance 1/24 Scale I got this catalog in the mail one time that had like a bazillion models from movies in it. This was at the dawn of the Internet really getting popular so mailings were still pretty common. And I didn’t have a car yet. I ordered this kit …
Kit: ERTL Robo-1 Ford Taurus SHO 1/24 Scale I got into a model-making kick in 1996-7 and during that time I got this great catalog full of discontinued kits. The real movie cars were not SHO (Super High Output) models, but in a pinch it works. It squeaks like mad when it rolls, but otherwise …
Kit: ERTL MPC Back to the Future II 1/24 Scale Finished in 1993, this remains the only Time Machine model I still have from when I was a kid. I didn’t modify the doors on it which is likely what saved it from the fate of my BTTF1 and BTTF2 kits. Aside from the paint …
Kit: ERTL MPC Back to the Future II 1/24 Scale This poor car. I learned so much of what not to do with this one kit. To be honest, this wasn’t ever (even at 13) considered my ‘best’ model or anything, but it was my first Back to the Future kit. And it shows. There’s …
Kit: ERTL MPC Back to the Future II 1/24 Scale This is what happens when you love something too much. Back to the Future was pretty much my favorite movie, ever. As an adult I have a real DeLorean. This was my absolute obsession as a youth. Sometimes when you try too hard to do …
Kit: MPC ERTL General Lee 1969 Dodge Charger 1/24 Scale Ah, the Dukes of Hazzard. So few shows or movies had such an impact on my love for cars. I had the ERTL 1/64 die cast cars and went through several of them with all my ‘Duke Boys’ adventures. The General Lee is an ’80s icon. …
Kit: Monogram Jeep 4×4 1/24 Scale Playing second to the General Lee is Daisy’s Jeep named Dixie. Daisy had a cool Plymouth GTX in the beginning of the series, and at some point early on it met a terrible fate. So it was replaced by “Dixie” (no coincidence “Dixie” is the music played by the General …
