So, in a fit of randomness, I FINALLY have something to share with you guys here. I bought these kits years ago at TRU because they were cheap, and frankly I needed the light bars for
other projects at the time
. The light bar doesn't go with the kit anyways, as the light bar used on this vehicle in both
Robocop
and
Robocop 2
is totally different as well (the Taurus SHO wasn't used either, but more on that in a bit).
Anyways, as I said, in a fit of randomness and not really having a good day for painting (it's damp outside, so I'd normally not take on a spray project during this kind of weather), I just decided that I'd jump on these. I took out all 3 of the kits I had leftover, a can of Kyrlon Fusion flat blat, and went to town. So far, these are my results:
. . . . and you'll see I ran out of paint:
I'll be honest, I don't entirely know all of my plans yet for these. As I said,
the Ford Taurus SHO was not the model of car used in any of the movies
, but this is simply the kit I'm stuck with. I don't really have any plans to de-SHO it, other than maybe removing the "SHO" letters from the rear bumper (i.e., the headlights and brake lights are different between the SHO and other models of Taurus). A part of me wants to make at least one of them "pristine" and "movie accurate", but I'm not sure. What I DO intend to do with one of them is to create one that is from the opening sequence of
Robocop 2
:
If you've seen the movie, then you'll know what I'm talking about. I've also mulled around the idea of at least replicating the project to put up for sale. Anyways, I thought I'd share this progress with you guys
Also, just a little bit of personal trivia of ol' SQ7, he used to have not one, but two actual Tauruses (though neither were movie replicas).
