1982 DeLorean Back To The Future 3 Welly 1:24 Time Machine












Back to the Future Part III (titulada Regreso al futuro III en España y Volver al futuro III o Regreso al futuro, tercera parte en Hispanoamérica) es una película de ciencia ficción protagonizada por Michael J. Fox y Christopher Lloyd. Estrenada en 1990; es la tercera y última parte de la saga, la trilogía de Back to the Future. Aunque Back to the Future Part III se considera un buen final para la trilogía, no sería un éxito de taquilla tan contundente como las dos primeras películas.
La película comienza exactamente en el clímax de la primera parte y el final de la segunda parte donde el doctor Emmett Brown de 1955 envía de regreso a Marty McFly a 1985 con el experimento del rayo de la torre del reloj, pero justo cuando celebraba su éxito y se disponía a regresar a su casa súbitamente el Marty de la segunda entrega se le aparece frente a él y deja en estado de shock al científico, él lo acababa de enviar de regreso al futuro hace poco, Marty le responde que es cierto que lo envió de devuelta la última vez pero que ahora regresó del futuro, lo que causa que el Doc se desmaye de la impresión. Al día siguiente, Emmett despierta en su casa creyendo que todo fue un sueño, pero se asusta nuevamente al ver a Marty y sigue insistiendo que lo regresó al futuro con el experimento del rayo y se encierra en el baño rehusándose a creer que Marty sigue en 1955, pero este último le cuenta el incidente del almanaque de deportes de Biff, el cual le había sido entregado por el Biff de 2015 y con ello había creado una realidad alterna, pero después de que Marty tuvo éxito en arreglar la línea del tiempo, el Doc de 1985 que en ese momento se encontraba en el DeLorean volador, fue impactado por un rayo que lo terminó enviando accidentalmente a 1885. Al oír esto el Doc de 1955 sale del baño y comenta que la historia de Marty es bastante interesante, pero le cuestiona que hay un detalle en su historia que no tiene sentido para él, ya que si su homólogo del futuro está atrapado en el pasado como es posible que Marty lo sepa y este último le muestra una carta que el Doc de 1885 le envió previamente a él por correo y finalmente le cree completamente su historia.

1969 Dodge Charger General Lee The Dukes Of Hazzard 1:25












The General Lee (sometimes referred to as simply "the General") is an orange 1969 Dodge Charger driven in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard by the characters the Duke boys, Bo and Luke, along with cousins Coy and Vance (in season 5). It is known for its signature horn, its police chases, stunts—especially its long jumps—and for having its doors welded shut, leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows. The car appears in every episode but one ("Mary Kaye's Baby"). The car's name is a reference to Robert E. Lee, general of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. It bears a Confederate battle flag on its roof, and also has a horn which plays the first 12 notes of the song "Dixie".
The idea for the General Lee was developed from the bootlegger Jerry Rushing's car, which was named for Lee's favorite horse, Traveller. Traveller was also the name of the car in Moonrunners, the 1975 movie precursor to The Dukes of Hazzard.
Although the estimated number of General Lees used varies from different sources, according to former cast member Ben Jones ("Cooter" in the show), as well as builders involved with the show, 325 General Lees were used to film the series. Others claim about 255 were used in the series. Approximately 17 originals still exist, although in various states of repair. On average, more than one General Lee was used up per show. When filming a jump, anywhere from 500 to 1,000 pounds (230 to 450 kg) of sand bags or concrete ballast was placed in the trunk to prevent the car from nosing over. Later in the series the mechanics would raise the front end of the car to keep it from scraping against the ramp causing it to lose speed, thereby providing a cushion for the driver upon landing. Stunt drivers report enjoying the flights but hating the landings. Despite the ballast, the landing altitude of the car was somewhat unpredictable, resulting in moderate to extremely violent forces, depending on how it landed. On many of the jumps the cars bent upon impact. All cars used in large jumps were immediately retired due to structural damage.

1970 Dragster "Bad Medicine" Show Rod 1:24 Tom Daniel










The Bad Medicine Model was created in 1970, designed by the infamous designer Tom Daniel. With over 85 designs to his credit, this one doesn't disappoint. It's based off of an old delivery truck c-cab with a skeleton at the wheel.
Upon opening the box, one will find a one-piece body molded in purple, a leather-look fitted seat/casket for the driver, two soft wheels for the front and the two rear wheels molded, in two pieces each, from black plastic. The parts found on the sprues were molded in white, purple, and chrome-plated. A nice touch is that the rear wheels are flat on the running surface and the rubber on the sides appears to have the pull marks that a true drag car's tires would look at high speeds. Parts were individually packaged to prevent damage in transport.
I spent a little time cleaning up the excess flash on parts that were specifically molded in purple; the other sprues were good and for the most part ready to go. The engine went together with no problems until I reached the heads. There was one notch between the engine and the head that prevented it from seating correctly. I filed the notch down on the offending side in no time and proceeded to the next step.
The three-piece body and legs on the skeleton fit together nicely and is quite realistic looking. The skeleton went into the seat beautifully and the seat is skillfully molded to look like tufted leather. The guide slots provided assure that the seat will fall into position just right. I did have problems keeping the steering column in the right position while also trying to put in the engine with the drive shaft on the same step. In hindsight, I think I would leave the engine and the bottom of the model until the steering column has time to dry completely.
The chrome-plated pieces looked perfect and went on smoothly until I discovered that one of the radius rods was short. I thought I must have broken it off somehow until I saw the end that was short had been chromed. After some debate, I glued it into position as if it were meeting the appropriate connection point provided. The addition of the accents, such as the steer skull and skull and crossbones on the back went on without incident.
