hi, i used a JoHan model pic and photoshop to create this maverick racer, im going to make a shortfilm about a sick, near death old racer that remembers his maverick that he raced in the 70`s, is sitting in his back yard, so he starts a police chase that ends in a 1/4 mile track. i based this design in this 1975 xb australian falcon: what do you guys think??
Sounds PRETTY KEWL...! Ya know... I own a Comet today because 6 months ago I was staring at my Honda and wishing for an American built hot rod. While cruising the Buy & Sell on the web, "Mad Max" came on TV and I was inspired by his car - I came full circle from Australian muscle cars to the Mercury Cyclone, then it clicked... I should look for a Comet! Some of those Australian cars are so beautiful... I like the idea of accentuating the lines of the body with the blue paint... for a Comet it would be the tail lights... for a Maverick it would be hood scoops (or a grabber hood) and I guess like the Australian Falcon with the Torino-like back windows, the Maverick has nicely shaped windows to accentuate the fastback. Are you a filmmaker or something? Good luck with it! Whisky
Oh, the jo-han model kit is actually a comet….:sorry: Those damn XB falcons are everybody’s dream isn’t it? A shame they didn’t sold them in America. They should make new XB falcon bodies just like the new 67-68 mustangs, don’t they? Yes, I have two hobbies, cars and filmmaking, so why not bond them together and make the best maverick film ever….but I wont tell you how the shortfilm ends… Similar color scheme like you car mavaholic. My 1970 maverick has a worn out black paint, so that’s why I’m designing its new looks. Glad you liked it.
im gonna make the shortfilm here in Monterrey, Mexico. 302mav76 Lo tengo aqui en Monterrey, de hecho el cortometraje lo haré en el Autodromo.
