Stang67 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dr. Cranky Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Oh man, I don't know how I missed this one, but it's a WONDERFUL model. Wow, all the details, pure eye candy, buddy. Great job. I look forward to seeing more of your builds. Long live rust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FactoryStock54 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 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.

peter31a Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 That's awesome! I prefer the looks of the maxivan version over the regular length version they had later on, but regardless you did a great job on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000-cvpi Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I grew up watching Red Green. I am going to start watching the show again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Nice thing is they have the DVD sets on Amazon, 1-3, 4-6, etc. Only thing is they're expensive, but if you keep an eye on them, they'll sometimes have them for cheap.

Jordan White Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Normally they have an episode every Thursday night (I believe) on PBS. Or you can do like I mentioned above and buy the DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
