Red Green's Possum Van


Recommended Posts

Nice One! Red Green used the studios here in Hamilton for a while years ago then when the show got popular they moved it to Toronto. He lives in a place called Flambourgh which is about 20 minutes from Hamilton and if no one knows where that is it's 45 minutes west of Toronto.

Cheers :wacko:

Good old CHCH coming at ya from The Hammer. The show was at its best when it was produced by CHCH. The CBC kind of butchered it a bit by making it too slick, but at least it was still Red, Harold and the rest of the Possum Lodge.

Absolutely fantastic model! It's great to see Andrew's work here on the Model Cars forum; he is a first-rate aircraft modeler (you should see his complete "History of the Jolly Rogers (squadron) collection in 1/72, which is impressive not only in scope, but in the excellent execution of each individual model); he's also a great guy, and a friend through ARC.

I also attempted this project a number of years ago. Here's a photo of the model that was signed by the cast members at a taping in Toronto.

Funny story. When I built the Possum Van I did not realize until too late that the real Possum van was a maxivan (extended). So my model was wrong as the van appeared in the series. About a year after I built it the original Possum Van was destroyed (I think it wore out from being beat up so much). The replacements included a regular wheelbase van so then my model became correct. :lol:
