steveo578 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Nice repilca -certainly it needs a closer look by some-one in NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 It's part of the great plan to attack foreign lands. However being in NZ its some distance from foreign lands, and this model does not swim. Not to be out done, it is transportable and in time great numbers of these will invade foreign shores along with scores of similar dated aircraft, guns and troops. The transport method is by air, with delivery enlarging the size to increase the fear factor. This can only be viewed by those seated in specially darkened buildings, after payment of a fee. Its a film prop, based on the mechanicals of a Caterpillar crawler. Part of the Peter Jackson ( Lord of the Rings) film empire in readiness for a new film.

Gustaf Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hey doug, This film has been in the wings for over a decade, when is Mr. Jackson going to stop fooling around with those fantasy films and do a good one:) I am looking forward to seeing his production.

T80030 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 This one "Spring Chicken" is the first of i believe three to be built. Peter Jackson has been rumoured to have been building up to a WW1 movie for more than a few years now Dave:wave: P.S. His next "Good" movie should be the Dambusters remake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus I agree, however the computer modeled films appear to be the income earners and bring the Oscars awards ( Avatar) Much of the Avatar was made in Wellington. Talking to those involved in producing some of these large props they have been at it now for many years. It would appear funding problems could delay things more so, as filming the Hobbit seems to be on hold. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senior centurion Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The tank in question appears to be based on the Emhar plastic kit as it reproduces some of the inaccuracies in that kit (mainly the incorrect sponson shape). Still a nice replica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
