Hello all! Not too long ago I purchased The Hot Toys 1/6 scale DeLorean time machine. That thing is a real beauty! It lacked in accessories for the price, but I couldn't resist. Ever since I was a kid, I remember seeing that awesome ILM photo of Steve Gawley next to a scaled model DeLorean time machine used for the special effects at the end of part one. Ever since that seeing photo, I always wished to own it. Well, roll over to early this year, that dream came to a reality, thanks to the Hot Toys company.
It was missing one major part to make this car complete...
...the hook used at the end of the film. This bugged me a great deal, so I decided to make one.
...But, the part 3 desert car was always my favorite version. It's in fact what this thread is about. Me converting a part one DeLorean, to a part three Desert Car DeLorean with the 50's wheels, raised suspension, hood box, and all.
So I did what any other crazy collector would do. I bought a second one, (which just arrived), for the full intent of customizing it.
So I apologize if this thread seems a bit plain. It's mostly photos of my progress.
I had posted all these photos at another thread in "Collectables" regarding Back to the future, but a member brought it to my attention to just start my own thread else where.
... So here we go. Nothing but but progress pics.
