Hi, first of all, sorry for my english :)

All started when i see this pic on facebook in december:
15624214_354813278220284_1926632800392314880_n.jpg

I loved the idea... but.. didn't like how its was done. So i was like... why not make something more movie accurate and use it for my Nativity scene under my tree?
So, i started slowly, with this scene in reference:
Marty's_radiaton_suit.png

I've already have the Delorean SunStar 1/18 since some year, sleeping in a box somewhere in the house. So i decided to use it.
When i looked the Delorean again, i was shocked that the model isn't very movie accurate... so.. why not upgrade it too?

And i never do modeling before, but i take a go.

Here the Bttf 2 model before:

My project include, entire visually upgrade, including wiring, exterior/interior light including flux capacitor, blinking indicator light, upgrade motor, redone entire interior. Construct barn like in the movie and add smoke if possible too :)

Its not a small project, but i have lots of month before christmas.


UPDATE
----------
DONE!!

I started with the Time circuit control, the original:

I keep the handle, sculpt the frame into sintra material, paint, add metal, plastic film with sticker, replace the handle and got a new time circuit control20170220_200546.jpg20170225_134345.jpg20170225_191101.jpg

Be interesting. That first dissembled pic looks like when the train smashed it up in part 3.

Update with TCC, sculpt into sintra material again, paint, and glued time circuit board.

I like it. Flux Capacitor should be a little more medium grey than white, just a heads up. Modifying Sunstar DeLorean's can be difficult at times but it is a lot of fun. I've done a few myself.
