Mad Max 4 apocalyptic Cortina TC

Hello, I managed to get a chance to do another artwork for the collection.  This time my idea of what a Cortina could look like in a Mad Max film, I mean hell Cortinas are really popular in Australia (and cheaper than a XA Falcon!) so you never know.. 
I've been eagerly waiting for years to see a mad max film at the cinema with gritty locations and action scenes brimming with battered muscles cars and an old school vibe limiting the use of CGI. I really hope this is what gets delivered, George Miller is a genius at this and I believe that he returns to direct it which can only be a good omen. It would have been my dream job to be even remotely associated with any of the concept art / development work on this franchise and my god if they ever make another I would drop everything to work on it! Just incase anyone influential is reading this, ey!!!!!

There is another reason for the Australian connection here but you'll have to wait a couple of months to make it clear what I'm on about.   

Been away not much to report.

Hello, I'm still doing bits on the car and artwork etc, I produced the Christmas card for the MTOC club last year, it features my mate Mark's 3.0 Savage, he's a really great club member always doing people favors and lending out tools, even delivering bits half way across the country for me so it's nice to sometimes do something for folks in the club and the club were happy with the card: 

Here’s another personal piece, copyright R Jones 2014:

A close up of the girls.  The artwork is way larger than this so the resolution is nice and clear.

It jogged my memory, a couple of years back I produced this for the Wings and Wheels show Wings and Wheels website it was the anniversary of the awesome Avro Vulcan (one of my favorite planes) and the Cortina. It's a show I didn't get around to visiting (maybe this year) but it's a great day according to others so well worth a visit.

I produced this one for a laugh, it's just a sketch, but it's designed to look like those old B movie posters.

If you are or have been a resident in the UK for the last few months you'll know what the weather has been like, utter shite. There have been a few good days scattered about but rarely fall when I have a chance to do work on the car.
I am lucky though as it's only impacted on doing work whereas some areas of the UK have been flooded for around the last 5 weeks.

I have been collecting some bits though, I got some prop mounts for the split piece prop I have which will help when fitting the 2.0 pinto. The alternative was to get a single piece prop made up but it's good to have the option of using the proper one I have.

At some point I'll blog about the stereo I've fitted.
