Boosted Falcon

I thought I would show my latest creation. It started as a Biante EF futura and is now an XR6 with sunroof, BA bulge and full BA GT interior.

Damn that looks sweet as..

thanks mate. I forgot to say that the colour is pearl white base coat 2pack clear. Pitty you were in a hurry last weekend when you were at my place I could have shown you it up close( photos just don't do it)

I should have had a look it looks awsome.

bloody hell that is so cool, how long did that take you?

thats cool as...
ive got a 1:8 scale (yes thats large) XY GTHO P3 diecast kit which i havent had a chance to build yet.
its in storage so ill pull the box out and snap some pics on the weekend

need a large desk (as well as the space to put a large desk) to be able to do it justice

Oh yes I know the one, they are awsome and so real.

hahah thats mint.
the headlights look a little small, but i love the rest.

can't remember if i posted this?

cool...!, what size is that?
does the bonnet open?

looks like 1/24 to me. Did you make that? got any more? and how much?

its roughly 1:24, probably a little larger.

the bonnet is a seperate piece.

there is: body, bonnet, frontbar, rear bar, sideskirts.

its a rough plastic finish at the moment... cost over $150 to get made.

I'm looking at getting some smaller coloured ones done, which in theory can be done to match anyones car. but would wouldn't have any moving parts or interiors.

i wish i could die cast

wAGHOON YOU LOOKING AT DOING ea-ed?

They're all fkn mint! Only reason I don't have one yet is I want an EL and AFAIK they don't exist.

he's using models that are already available.

EF 1:43 are available fairly easily.

so i doubt it

technically you could mod the crap out of an EF one to make it like an ED.
but its a lot of effort on a 1:43 scale.

shiiit man that looks aweeesome! are you able to make a NL fairlane:P be pretty much the same as a ef:D

I was going to try mod it into a wagon but put that in the to hard basket

Thought this thread deserved a bump. Been looking for hours through shops trying to find a model ef or el. Seems Biante only made 3000 of these and I couldnt find any shops that hadn't sold out of them, after an hour I found one on ebay (originally hadnt came up with a hit under 'model') and grabbed the last one.

1:43 Ef futura. $43.00

Edit: Really impressed with the models above, they look great however I cant see your post John. Repost maybe? Any hints and tips on modifying in such a scale?
