Do you have an Instagram account? And if you do can you text me your name I would like To try to send you. One of my Customs so you can see what it looks like.
Nailed it! Proper Mad Max build guy! Lol You did a great job on this build. Who knew Vallejo paints worked so well for weathering. I catch cool tips on every build you do. Thanks
Excellent work, looks great! I'm a fan of Mad Max as well. I have a Max binge at least once a year lol, watching all of them. Time for a roughed up Christine build😉
Absolutely perfect my friend, It doesn't get any better than that. I think green light needs to take a look at you car and pay you to use it. You did an outstanding job with weathering on it, definitely looks like it's been riding around out there in Australia. After watching the beginning then you doing the build, I want to go watch the movie for the hundredth time. You made my Saturday morning my friend Thank you.
My son told me today that Holden is closing its doors this year. I don't know where he got his info so I don't know if it's a true or not, I don't know if you have heard anything about it because I know you enjoy them. Have a good week my friend.
@@davidbeeson1178 Yes unfortunately its true. Just as they dropped my Pontiac, they are dropping Holden unfortunately. Makes me want to pick up a 05 06 Gto as it was a Holden Monaro. And the last batch of Chevrolet Caprice police cars were 366hp LS Holden commodores. They are selling 100k mile ones at government auctions for a mere 4-5k cheap horsepower and truly the last of the Aussie V8s
Wow H , amazing attention to detail ,,on such an lconic movie car , you did a fantastuc jib there George (well the pencil had to go to a good cause 😆) Awesome job 👍
I may not agree with all that you say, I do admit that I like most of your customs.. But this.. THIS CAR is the best damn custom you’ve ever done! Mad Max and the Road Warrior are my favorite movies of all time! I first watched them when I was a kid with my uncles and I have them both in my personal library. 👍🏽
Brilliant job.. as usual...I read yesterday that the actual car from the original movie is for sale in Florida right now I believe.. needs a resto too..right down your alley mate..a bit more work than 1/64.. but I think you would be the man for the job..👍
Yea, i saw that. They are guesstimating 5mil hes asking. I wish that thed make it more movie correct than a mishmash of the 2 videos and it needs to be back in your country
@@fexdeth Im partial to the first 3 .Mel made the part. And i always liked the way the timeline for max,and the vehicles all worked well. This fury road was fun. But too over the top with the vehicles with skulls everywhere, and too much modern political correctness and feminism added to it for me. I like the grittiness of the originals,and the vehicles were believable
@@fexdeth the ONLY vehicle that was believable Was Max's rebooted interceptor before it was captured.packed Rags wired into the rear back tire to repair the tire. Belching black smoke when it started and ratty as heck ,even though it made no sense for it to be back in running condition
You do the fans of Aussie car culture a great service with your incredible customs. Thank you. BTW Dinky Di was a real dog food brand from the era. I can remember seeing it on shelves. Memories :)
Im so glad that i am able to do your car culture some justice and it means so much to me especially the Falcon coupes. I didn't know that it was a real dog food. Thats really cool.
Looks dead nuts on to me brother. Only a real fan would include not only the dog seat but the dinky dee dog food ! I appreciate that because I have a aussie shepherd named Julio ! The red clay dirt and dust is the icing on the cake !🍻
You don't really get on with the "Bandejo" paints do you? lolol Spot on job George. Every single detail is 100% accurate to the original. Now I think I need to watch the dvd again. Rock on!!!!! 🎸☮🤘
Hey brother! I have been obsessed with this car since i first saw it.lol. i am the Vallejo bandejo hahaha.they actually work well for weathering. Rock on KK🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
That is an awesome build. Mad Max car is one of my favourite. I have a mad max from greenlight that I won't touch. If I find another I'll try to make it like you did. 👍
Hahaha she'll never know its gone. Lol . Stay Tuned for many more "true to the movies Mad Max builds coming up this year. Although Fury Road introduced a New Generation to Max.And i too enjoyed it greatly. Im kinda partial to the first three with Mel. The storyline was all in line with one another. And Max aged accordingly to each movie and so did the vehicles get more ratty as time went on with less and less of the old world ways . You will even be seeing a vehicle built from Thunderdome this year so stay Tuned buddy 👍
George, impressive build, you have a great eye for the details, this is what holds my attention & keeps me tuning in on your builds. I am a fan of the Mad Max movies, you were dead on the money with this build, keep doing what your doing buddy have a great weekend!🍺😎👍👍👍🚘
Thanks Jeff, This is probably the most important car in my life to me. Ive been fascinated with it as long as i can remember. Most people's dream car is some sort of exotic supercar(Lambo,Ferrari, etc) Mines been an Australian Falcon Coupe . Imagine Cruising OC in one of those in the spring show. Did you get any Tornado damage Friday? Frederick county got hit hard in some areas
Hodge's Hot Wheels and diecast No tornado but we did have high winds anywhere from 45 to 70 knots in spots, some trees down in some areas around Eastern shore, here in Wicomico Co. and surrounding counties minor flooding, but drying out fairly well. If ya did have the Australian Falcon coupe at OC cruiser week I have no doubt that you would get public attention for sure, that would be super! I know that Md Rt. 528 Ocean hwy , you would have to do a hole shot or two somewhere on that road, LOL 😆, It’s hard to resist! I used to have a 67 Caddy, 429cid, 4bbl, dual exhaust, living room on wheels 😆, loved cruising on Balt Ave & Philadelphia Ave (Md. 528). But the OC police, Wor Co sheriff dept & M S P were in full force and SHA had a fake work zones set up in spots to cut down on drag racing , makes it more of a pain in the ass for cruisin around also. Well George, you take care& be careful on the roads this week buddy, see ya on your next build.😎👍👍👍🚗
i see what you did with this and it looks good. the details are good and it really shouts- mad max., got a new sub here from this side of the planet and enjoyed watching your videos and will be coming back for more of your videos in the future 😉
That is perfectly representative you my friend have some talent...thank you for sharing really enjoyed watching it. Also a big fan of the movie awesome job.
Thanks Brother! You know we talked in the past about if we were to call a build a mad max build. It better be recognized from one of the movies. I hope i succeeded 👍👍
Serious? The Interceptor's YOUR all-time favorite car too? Ever since I was a kid it has been my dream car. I've never seen a 1/64 scale Road Warrior version of it till now. GREAT job Homie :)
@@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192 Feral kid. Good Road Warrior ref, lol. Yeah. The first time I saw the car I was like "Yeah... I want THAT one day" I'll have to settle for my collection of Interceptor minis for now.
I was in that movie, when I was barely nine years old, and yes, the owner of the theatre let us both, my brother who is even younger, and me in, despite of the fact, that the movie was rated over 18! I´ve been a fan of this movie for almost forty years, and I loved this car all the way. You made the most perfect replica I've seen, so far. The only thing missing was: you should have put the effort in to cut out the passenger door, so the dog seat can be seen attached to it, when you open it up..., and..., the knife underneath the fuel tank! Lol! Other than that, brilliant!
I myself first seen this movie when I was pre-school age at noon, on... TV. It did left big impact and I ended up drawing interceptors and cow cars (because next day they aired Beyond Thunderdome!) whole childhood.
@@pauliusgruodis137 everyone bashes Thunderdome. But i truly enjoyed it .it fit the whole timeline perfectly as max aged,and as vehicles become less and less recognizable because they have been rebuilt numerous times,salvaged and or modified to terrain. And signs of the old world are still visible like Max's jacket, and leg brace, Perfect trilogy for our generation
Awesome job on the Interceptor George, absolutely nailed it! This might've been one of your easiest builds, but the finished product is larger than life. Don't know if you've seen it yet but I mentioned in the community tab post the other day that the original Interceptor from the first movie is up for sale from a private collector in Florida right now. The dog in the movie is an Australian Cattle Dog aka Blue Cattle Dog or Blue Heeler, an Australian Sheep Dog is a different breed (cross between a Blue Cattle dog and a Border Collie if I remember correctly).
Hey Robert, since i did see that Deezer was trying to sell it. They are estimating hes asking somewhere in the ballpark of 5 mil. Its a shame it can't be bought by someone down your way,as thats where it needs to be
@@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192 Yeah that asking price is ludicrous, it's been widely advertised over here but I'm thinking it will probably stay in the US as well.
Holy h*** you said it was gonna be epic and holy Christ is it epic it's more detail than anything you could buy in a modeled old Christ am I impressed well dawn Georgie extremely well done you impressed the h*** out of me my friend
Personally I don't like this version of the Interceptor but well done. I'm starting three Mad Max vehicles if I don't die of COVID-19. I recently acquired some 1/32 resin cast XA and XB bodies to make Max's XB 4dr sedan Interceptor, the Big Boppa's XB Pursuit and the March Hare's XA Interceptor slot cars. I also will be making a slot car of my actual March Hare Interceptor replica I built in 1986 before everyone else started building Mad Max replicas
As Bruce spence's character the Gyrocaptain quoted,'The precious guzzaline,round and round they go,like angy ants',outstanding work george,a true masterpiece indeed,whoo hoo,cheers
Thank so much Malcolm. This has to be my "Mona Lisa" build because this car got me fascinated with Australian Muscle cars way back when Hodgie was just a young feral kid himself
George, what did you do to the lights? They look like they're lit with leds. The Mad Max stuff isn't really my thing but this one looks good. The original paint seems to have helped you out and it took the washes perfectly. Does anyone do 1:64 scale figures of the guy and the dog? That would finish it off perfectly. Cheers for now, Dougie.
Hey Dougie, i just used standard Vallejo white on the headlights with the Vallejo rust wash over them. You know i Have a 1/64 mad max figure that came with one of the Greenlight Falcons.
@@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192 It might be worth trying that same technique on a more "normal" custom; the lights look fantastic. Maybe it's just the lighting or the camera but they really do look "lit" in the reveal shot. If you decide to use the Mad Max figure, you might get a suitable dog from Preiser or one of the other model railway suppliers. Ho(1:87) or OO(1:76) might look slightly under-sized but you could possibly find something suitable. Alternatively, the Matchbox 42B Studebaker or 64B MG had dogs; could maybe do something clever with one of them. As usual George, I'm just thinking aloud.😁 Cheers for now, Dougie.
Fantastic job! I want to make my own but as it appeared at the very start of Road Warrior. If I may ask, do you remember where you got the rear tires and the spare from? I definitely want to use them too if possible.
Hey George, I don’t know if you have seen this video in Car Topics: Mad Max 2 in Melbourne by Peter Robinson, published May 2, 2019 . I just happen to run across this video, decided to give ya a holler, didn’t know if you have seen it. See ya bud.😎👋
I looked that video up.what a sweet interceptor replica ripping it through the gears going around that block. Awesome video thanks for sharing that buddy
Heeler not Sheppard :P ;) but hey I live in South Australia and grew up climbing on a couple Mad max cars left on display at a few businesses in the 80's, Never owned an Falcons myself I'm a Holden man, had 8 Monaro's
Hahaha. I don't know why i kept calling it a shepherd(brain fart) because my buddy has one that rides on the ATV's with us named Henry. I love the Holdens too. Id love to get my hands on a monaro or a Sandman one day. On a side note. Some of our Caprice Police cars over here are your 366hp LS powered Commodores. Im seeing them pop up on govt auction sites with only 100thousand miles for 4-5000 bucks. Thinking of picking one up since they are truly the last of the V8s
looks awesome! I have to re-watch the movies and see if I can identify what they used... btw, does anyone know what the "Enemy car" was based upon? I caught the "Interceptor and Enemy Car" combo box by Minichamps a while ago and am a curious feline. :) ...west virginia prybar? XD
@@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192 thank you! ^^ I thought the nose looked familiar... in germany we call it the "Knudsen-Nose", even though Bunkie Knudsen had no chance to initiate it while he played boss at Ford's.
Sorry Hodge, I'm getting old. I have to go sign up for dribbling lessons. BTW back in the day, I owned a black on black XB GT Coupe. By God I wish I still had her.
Growing up as a kid ,I would say the interceptor. But now that I'm older I would love to have a regular XA,XB,or XC. But at 100k up to own one now. That will never happen...
You are incorrect stating the movie car had "square" headlamps from the XC Aussie Falc. The entire front end of the movie car was a aftermarket kit and the headlamps were NOT factory Ford. The optional XC lamp s were rectangles that were half the width of the above mentioned headlamps. The movie was made during the last years of the van fad in OZ. Those are van wheels on the movie car. The side exhaust pipes were for vans as were the "wheel arch" flares. OZ Ford built six vans ("sedan deliveries" in the States) that used the complete kit, and those cars were driven by factory reps in the six sales districts. The rear spoiler was an aftermarket item NOT inspired by the U.S. Camaro. The design was first used on an earlier Lola GT! Later the design was used by the factory on the limited run Falcon "Cobra" which ended the run of the Aussie Ford V 8 (XC Falcs w/ 6 cylinders stayed in production) Those Falcs were white with twin blue racing stripes ( which is the traditional racing colors for U.S. built cars !?!). Funny thing, the Aussie Falcs of that era basically used the same floor chassis/platform as the North American Fairlane and Falcon. I took advantage of that to keep my privately imported XC Ute on the roads here in the States. But no body panels interchanged and lead the final retirement of my ride. I could have obtained the body mod kit as used in the movie car but decided it was unique enough simply because it was in the States and left the body stock.
Thank you so much for the information on the Falcon. As it is my favorite car in the world. I try to read up as much as i can on the interceptor, and regular Falcons. So you have a Falcon ute in the states? Thats really cool. I would love to own one but they are expensive as hell even though Madmaxcars in Washington state. Believe me ive checked.lol. thanks for the information
@@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192 Had a Ute. Bought it about 1986 and the rocker panels were gone by 95 (Ford OZ worries about dust, not rust). Didn't have a place to do the body work and destrrmined it was time to part company. The Aussie Falcs had some flaws but were better then the North America Fairlane. Biggest problem came in the form of the difference in U.S. and Aussie light regulations. The Aussie brake lights are DARK compared to up here. Every time I applied the brakes (Aussie Falcs stopped shorter then all U.S. vehicles except the Vette, whose brakes were produced in OZ!) I braced for a rear ender. I lucked out on the headlamps as US beams bolted in and threw the light to the right, not left as in OZ. Bought the Ute to see how Ford products differ around the World, got a good education!
Hey Mark, Thanks so much buddy. It was important to myself to try to get it as perfect as i could since i have been obsessed with the car since childhood. Lol
Outfrickenstanding! So glad that you did it this way, came out perfect

It’s perfect 👌 11/10 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much. I tried to get it as perfect as possible
Awesome job on the Interceptor George, absolutely nailed it! This might've been one of your easiest builds, but the finished product is larger than life. Don't know if you've seen it yet but I mentioned in the community tab post the other day that the original Interceptor from the first movie is up for sale from a private collector in Florida right now. The dog in the movie is an Australian Cattle Dog aka Blue Cattle Dog or Blue Heeler, an Australian Sheep Dog is a different breed (cross between a Blue Cattle dog and a Border Collie if I remember correctly).
Hey Robert, since i did see that Deezer was trying to sell it. They are estimating hes asking somewhere in the ballpark of 5 mil. Its a shame it can't be bought by someone down your way,as thats where it needs to be
@@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192 Yeah that asking price is ludicrous, it's been widely advertised over here but I'm thinking it will probably stay in the US as well.
Holy h*** you said it was gonna be epic and holy Christ is it epic it's more detail than anything you could buy in a modeled old Christ am I impressed well dawn Georgie extremely well done you impressed the h*** out of me my friend
Thanks brother. Im gonna have me a real one one day
Brilliant!
Thank you so very much!
Nice work

@@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192 I can send you a few pictures, but I don`t know how to add pictures here

Very common cars over here mate.
You stole your daughters pencils to build this? Did you tell her to "just walk away!" while wearing an iron mask when you took them? 😂
Hahaha! Unfortunately she woulda kicked me if i did that. I went more for the stealth approach. Kids always leave shit laying around 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey man very good one love it looks like a movie car perfect
Thank you so much buddy. I had just as much fun building it.
Personally I don't like this version of the Interceptor but well done.
I'm starting three Mad Max vehicles if I don't die of COVID-19.
I recently acquired some 1/32 resin cast XA and XB bodies to make Max's XB 4dr sedan Interceptor, the Big Boppa's XB Pursuit and the March Hare's XA Interceptor slot cars.
I also will be making a slot car of my actual March Hare Interceptor replica I built in 1986 before everyone else started building Mad Max replicas
As Bruce spence's character the Gyrocaptain quoted,'The precious guzzaline,round and round they go,like angy ants',outstanding work george,a true masterpiece indeed,whoo hoo,cheers
Thank so much Malcolm. This has to be my "Mona Lisa" build because this car got me fascinated with Australian Muscle cars way back when Hodgie was just a young feral kid himself
George, what did you do to the lights? They look like they're lit with leds. The Mad Max stuff isn't really my thing but this one looks good. The original paint seems to have helped you out and it took the washes perfectly. Does anyone do 1:64 scale figures of the guy and the dog? That would finish it off perfectly.
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Hey Dougie, i just used standard Vallejo white on the headlights with the Vallejo rust wash over them. You know i Have a 1/64 mad max figure that came with one of the Greenlight Falcons.
@@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192 It might be worth trying that same technique on a more "normal" custom; the lights look fantastic. Maybe it's just the lighting or the camera but they really do look "lit" in the reveal shot. If you decide to use the Mad Max figure, you might get a suitable dog from Preiser or one of the other model railway suppliers. Ho(1:87) or OO(1:76) might look slightly under-sized but you could possibly find something suitable. Alternatively, the Matchbox 42B Studebaker or 64B MG had dogs; could maybe do something clever with one of them.
As usual George, I'm just thinking aloud.😁
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
I've got the first Mad Max movie in DVD...
Me too
Awesomeness!!!
Im pretty stoked about this one myself. Lol.
Fantastic job! I want to make my own but as it appeared at the very start of Road Warrior.
If I may ask, do you remember where you got the rear tires and the spare from? I definitely want to use them too if possible.
Fantástico trabajo 👍👍👍
Thank you so much
Hey George, I don’t know if you have seen this video in Car Topics: Mad Max 2 in Melbourne by Peter Robinson, published May 2, 2019 . I just happen to run across this video, decided to give ya a holler, didn’t know if you have seen it. See ya bud.😎👋
I looked that video up.what a sweet interceptor replica ripping it through the gears going around that block. Awesome video thanks for sharing that buddy
Heeler not Sheppard :P ;) but hey I live in South Australia and grew up climbing on a couple Mad max cars left on display at a few businesses in the 80's, Never owned an Falcons myself I'm a Holden man, had 8 Monaro's
Hahaha. I don't know why i kept calling it a shepherd(brain fart) because my buddy has one that rides on the ATV's with us named Henry. I love the Holdens too. Id love to get my hands on a monaro or a Sandman one day. On a side note. Some of our Caprice Police cars over here are your 366hp LS powered Commodores. Im seeing them pop up on govt auction sites with only 100thousand miles for 4-5000 bucks. Thinking of picking one up since they are truly the last of the V8s
I was gonna watch somebody else's video first then l saw this in the side bar and l though Hell, l just gotta watch this 👍
Hahaha, Thanks Jerry! I hope you enjoyed watching it,as much as i did building it.
Brilliant build, mate. Awesome. Btw it’s pronounced ‘Dinky Die’. An old fashioned Australian term meaning genuine Aussie.
Thanks so much buddy. And for the correct pronunciation too
It looks good and it almost reminds me of the Mad Max Model Interceptors I see online.
Thanks so much! Those ones online are as expensive as heck too.
VERY NICE!
Nice!!!!
Thanks so much
FALCON yaaaàaa !!!! 😉👍👍👍
My #1 favorite car
Thats the closest ive ever seen, well done. You are the king of max. How can I send you an email. Want to send you a file
Thanks so much. Probably the most important car in my life. Been obsessed with it since i was a kid
Johndeereman272@msn.com
She's the last of the V-8's.....be a real shame to blow it up
It definitely was in the movie. Lol
Nice!
Thanks buddy
looks awesome! I have to re-watch the movies and see if I can identify what they used... btw, does anyone know what the "Enemy car" was based upon? I caught the "Interceptor and Enemy Car" combo box by Minichamps a while ago and am a curious feline. :)
...west virginia prybar? XD
The enemy car is based off a Landau, which is a high end Falcon (Mercury maybe?)from what i read
Its A Ford not Mercury.
@@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192 thank you! ^^ I thought the nose looked familiar... in germany we call it the "Knudsen-Nose", even though Bunkie Knudsen had no chance to initiate it while he played boss at Ford's.
Like quedo bien
Thank you so much
Long live the MFP! Now I need blue heeler
I need an Australian Falcon. Lol
Awesome work George. The title is yours, my friend. !
Thanks so much Scott
Sorry Hodge, I'm getting old. I have to go sign up for dribbling lessons. BTW back in the day, I owned a black on black XB GT Coupe. By God I wish I still had her.
Not bad, how about the Fury Road Version?
Thanks, check out the hot wheels ford falcon xb build i did two months ago
Hello u good job where get ur wheel?
Had ax coup way back it went like lighting though a wet dog
Thats Awesome! I love the comparison phrase too
Is your favourite car the interceptor or the xb
Growing up as a kid ,I would say the interceptor. But now that I'm older I would love to have a regular XA,XB,or XC. But at 100k up to own one now. That will never happen...
You are incorrect stating the movie car had "square" headlamps from the XC Aussie Falc. The entire front end of the movie car was a aftermarket kit and the headlamps were NOT factory Ford. The optional XC lamp s were rectangles that were half the width of the above mentioned headlamps.
The movie was made during the last years of the van fad in OZ. Those are van wheels on the movie car. The side exhaust pipes were for vans as were the "wheel arch" flares. OZ Ford built six vans ("sedan deliveries" in the States) that used the complete kit, and those cars were driven by factory reps in the six sales districts.
The rear spoiler was an aftermarket item NOT inspired by the U.S. Camaro. The design was first used on an earlier Lola GT! Later the design was used by the factory on the limited run Falcon "Cobra" which ended the run of the Aussie Ford V 8 (XC Falcs w/ 6 cylinders stayed in production) Those Falcs were white with twin blue racing stripes ( which is the traditional racing colors for U.S. built cars !?!).
Funny thing, the Aussie Falcs of that era basically used the same floor chassis/platform as the North American Fairlane and Falcon. I took advantage of that to keep my privately imported XC Ute on the roads here in the States. But no body panels interchanged and lead the final retirement of my ride. I could have obtained the body mod kit as used in the movie car but decided it was unique enough simply because it was in the States and left the body stock.
Thank you so much for the information on the Falcon. As it is my favorite car in the world. I try to read up as much as i can on the interceptor, and regular Falcons. So you have a Falcon ute in the states? Thats really cool. I would love to own one but they are expensive as hell even though Madmaxcars in Washington state. Believe me ive checked.lol. thanks for the information
That was quick! Wrote the comment, went to the fridge for a Coke, reply came through...
@@rogerc.roberts4705 i was going through reading my comments. Lol. Cold and rainy here in MD tonight.
@@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192 Had a Ute. Bought it about 1986 and the rocker panels were gone by 95 (Ford OZ worries about dust, not rust). Didn't have a place to do the body work and destrrmined it was time to part company. The Aussie Falcs had some flaws but were better then the North America Fairlane. Biggest problem came in the form of the difference in U.S. and Aussie light regulations. The Aussie brake lights are DARK compared to up here. Every time I applied the brakes (Aussie Falcs stopped shorter then all U.S. vehicles except the Vette, whose brakes were produced in OZ!) I braced for a rear ender. I lucked out on the headlamps as US beams bolted in and threw the light to the right, not left as in OZ.
Bought the Ute to see how Ford products differ around the World, got a good education!
Don't think you could have gotten that any closer to the original.
Hey Mark, Thanks so much buddy. It was important to myself to try to get it as perfect as i could since i have been obsessed with the car since childhood. Lol
