72 Charger

That looks great you should be very proud . I wish more kids would take up modeling instead of computer games!

Pavel thats a great looking collection well done . I think you should build the trumpeter fire truck you will love it ! Dave BTW did you know that you can get the correct badges for the Mack superliner from KFS . I built that tanker years ago and the badges realy finish it off well

Tulio thats a very nice Chevy and some very nice cats too . On a side note could you do some pics of your parking lot full of your 57's ?

Nico if you try to twist the hood and the plastic goes whiter then the rest of the hood then you went to far just tease it strait a little at a time and it will come strait . Also try putting it in very hot water for a few moments to softern the plastic you will be surprised how far you can bend it before it breaks. Good luck. Dave

Thats realy nice James . I cant wait for you to throw some paint on it . I would love to find one of those such a great shape

You will find some Interior Photo etch stuff at Kit Form Services . They did do a few things like a skip truck bed and a hiab craine mixer but im not sure if those are still avalible you could still find one or two on ebay possibley . But to be honest with you there isnt that much avalible. Im sure that somone will be able to tell you of other things out there but you may have to scratch build the things you want sorry. Dave

well worth a look thanks for that Rich

Me likey a lot

Have you checked the body is strait as its been built once before it . If it is the hood you could just twist it a little to get it to seat down it does not look to far out

Ive just done a very fast and great trade with BillyKaune (BKcustoms) I just got a Jimmy Flintstones resin body from billy and he even put in a mercury interior chassis grills and axels extra for it . Thanks again Billy we will be trading again im sure .I would recomend Billy to trade with a good guy . Dave up dated need to add (Sam i am) Sam is a good man to trade with

Ewan Hi you should open one up and start one ! The tyres on the DM800 are from the revell unimog kits you will need 2 kits to get 10 tyres as you get 5 tyres in each kit .They are very nice but quite soft so I had to pack them all with cotton wool to fill them so that they could hold the weight of the Mack. Whats the chance of you taking a few pictures of those Macks for the 1/1 reference page?.........

JT Hi thanks Its been fun so far. Ive been wanting to relocate the tank for a bit now . My only thought is that there must be a pump somwhere ? Yes the PTO drive shaft was bugging me when I did the DM800. Its just the same as the paystar . Ive still got to change the Mack

Richard thats very nice Im glad you didnt go red Do you put BMF on the badges before you paint?

Thanks Sean There is still a lot to do, Lots of wet flating now! . Plus the barel needs a lot more body work and there will be more pipes and wires for the chassis . The Macks are some of my favorites truck too . The dm 800 still needs some airbrushing doing to it and some small bits to finish . The dm600 has been finished for years now and it has an early KFS mixer on it

Thanks everyone James the engine has come out better than I thought .I made use of the great reference that I got on here for the wires .The paint is just white acrilic and then bathed in some whitespirits and matt enamel earth then put in a rag and mop up the exess . This leaves a mottled effect on engine then the manifolds where painted with mig powders and a bit of earth for rust. Thanks for looking more soon Dave

Thats Wild I will be watchin but not if it takes 6 years

I bet the paint was still wet when you took the pics very nice love that paint and the ribbed bumpers

Thats cool what was the original car Ive not seen one of these before?

WOW Billy thats one slick kustom . I like the rear end very cool . I like the sound of your colour idea too

Im not in to woodys. But thats fantastic it looks 1/1 very cool

Thanks Alan

Thanks Jerramy here this pic shows the water tank has been moved to the chassis the tank hangers are from the bits box This pic shows the radiater with the hole for the PTO drive shaft that was not in the kit Still a long way to go yet Dave

Hi all well just a little update for you.As you can see we have primed everything . Just got to sand it all now ready for paint .The barel has needed a ton of work as it was very warped thankfully its nearly done now the engine has been painted white I know its not the correct blue but white shows the weathering off better I think Its a recon Comments welcome Dave

Very cool Holden .

Nice work
