![]() ![]() I was mainly thinking along the lines of the ghostbuster car, but like the smaller wheels on this car more than the ghostbuster car. i actually agree on the windshield and even played with that while designing, but went with what i have mainly because of the hood piece and not wanting too much of a gap between it and the wind shield and it would have cramped everything back from the windshield since structurally i was limited on how far back i could move the back seat. my main objective was to use this for the thelma and louise photoshoot, so scale wasn't as much as a priority. On your model the front of the windscreen matches the wheel well whereas on the original car it sits far behind. Regarding the design my only point is the placing of the windscreen which in my opinion should be set one stud back. But well, that depends on the surrounding. On the other hand the scale is quite huge (about 1:30, if I'm correct) which may lead to some difficulties when combining it with other vehicles or buildings. Perhaps you grew up with an 83 Aerobird in the garage or are enjoying the. ![]() There are quite a few nice ideas in here, shaping is very well done - the model quite resembles the original which is not that easy with this type of car. You may like the classic version from 55 or bought a 66 Flairbird brand new. note, that this is the actual spot that Thelma and Louise drove off into the Colorado river in the movie - however they were not in the Grand Canyon like they said, they were in Moab, Utah :) Since the point of this was to make a Thelma and Louise car, i would have rather done it in a lighter blue, but given parts availability i had to stick with straight blue and just lighten it up in my Thelma and Louis photoshoot. I tried using the new pointy tile wedge to give the t-bird hood scoop look, but it was too blocky and the current hood was better for structural integrity anyway. groups instruments, optional radio and air-conditioner controls. the seat backs are clamped onto a 6M bar on the floor.Īll in all i'm pretty happy with it. I originally started out with the same wheels as the ghostbusters car, but realized i wouldn't be about to do side skirts on the rear wheels with those, but it was a good problem because i like these wheels a lot more. Really happy with the tail lights although i had to cheat a bit here and cut that grey bar down a hair since 3m bar was too long and there's no 1x1 round transparent plates w/ holes yet. My other favorite move is the use of hinges to tilt back the windshield for a more realistic slope. my favorite move on the grill was the used of 1x2 to 1x4 brackets to create the thin grill area under the lights like the real car. I wish there were grilled 1x2 cheese slopes, but for now i went smooth and made a crude thunderbird logo decal. This T-Bird has a much more sporty style than its previous generations. Here's my stab at a 1966 Ford Thunderbird, aka the car Thelma and Louis drove off a cliff :) The Fourth Generation Thunderbird is an American Luxury car in the years 1964-1966. ![]()
