This is the big car that goes over the cliff in Raiders.... I think it was based on a GAZ 69 jeep. I saw one in Rome in 1979 and the bonnet and grill area looked close. I wonder if it survived the movie?

Scale: 1/35 based on a Revell 1/48 truck with a CCKW chassis.

Avro Vulcan unstuck.........

Nice Vulcan photograph, but... has the photographer survived... (so close, thus hurt and burned...)
No? is it a scale model? I don't believe it (too much perfect)

The Lego Insectoid so far....with it's body armour mounted.

Lift off for this 1/144 Vulcan. Damn sorry it wasn't a kit!

Remember in Raiders........ well, this is the Mercedes Benz 500K cabriolet that chases Indie and the truck. Actually, it was made from two Jaguar saloons...a 1969 (for the chassis, engine, running gear and inside cabin) and a 1948 model for the body work. I don't think they wanted to wreck a real 500K.
I used a Pyro 1/32 Jaguar SS 100, as the base as all Jags at that point had a 10 foot wheelbase. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't easy it was one of the hardest 'butchering jobs' I'd ever done and wouldn't like to repeat it!

Come out very well Glenn

We don't mind if it wasn't a kit. Great photo ! I want to play with it, do a few touch-and-goes and airshow take offs

The car looks great as well. Love the windshield.

Yeah, that's cool!

I just had to go watch the chase scene and some other clips from that movie after seeing this..

It's a while since I've put a model on.
