Mad Max inspired "General Lee"

[F100Ford]

Hey to all who are interested, I'm a long time lurker and I finally joined the forum because I'm going to build a 1969 Charger "Genergy Lee" Mad Max: Fury Road style. It is is going to be the big funny 4 wheel drive style from MM: FR. I love the series as a whole and hope to do it justice.

Howdy.

You talking a 1:25th scale model?

If you can tell me, please do, I'm still new to this. I will post a picture for reference tomorrow, but it is about a foot long.

A Charger was about 210 inches long in real life, if I remember right. So that means it's about 17.5' long.

If your model is just shy of 12" long, then it's going to be a 1/18 scale model.

How long exactly is the model, bumper to bumper?

Interestingly Fury road did have a 71 charger in the pack.

If you require any inspiration, The short movie "Wasteland Legends" features a dodge charger as one of the bad guys chasing Max.

The concept has been done in 1:1 scale more than once. Do a google image search of: General Lee 4x4. There are a number of raggedy rusty '69 Charger bodies mounted on truck frames & painted orange.

Thanks fellas, the information is awesome. I haven't been on in a couple of days because I had the ACT yesterday, I'm about to get back to it though.

This model was actually a repurposed toy, so I cut the interior out of a jeep for this cockpit.
