Dingo

This one is headed to the workbench, for a CBP on another forum but will be shown here qas it slowly gets built. It is only a curbside model which is disappointing oh well never mind it's still a model anyway. Dingo

This might sound crazy to U guys but the dream kit I would like is any kit I can afford to buy. But if I had to be real about it I guess it would be any Aussie muscle car from the Iconic Ford Falcon GT and GTHO to the Holden Torana GTR and XU1, along with the Valiant Charger R/T 6 pack and the Holden Monaro GTS 350. That about covers it. Dingo

Man that's tough, we had a bad crash in my home town two days ago when two young men where killed when the car they where in hit a tree as well this crash happened in broad daylight at 8am in the morning and the car was so badly wrecked the emergency people could tell what it was until it was pulled from the tree and someone found a name plate enbedded in the tree, the car was a Nissan Skyline Twin Turbo and according to the driver's license he should not have been driving it as we have a law here that prevents or should prevent an under 25 from those types of cars. Dingo

Well I've done a bit more like spray the body silver (no it's not going to be this colur) sometime in the near futer when the weather is slightly cooler and there is no wind howling it's head off, I'll hit it with a clear colour maybe green, yellow or orange haven't decided yet but it should look good and different. Dingo

The wiedset load hauled well it turned out wied in the end was milk (cream)it started out as milk but the guy I worked for at the time had no clue that U don't put a tanker with baffles on a milk run and I didn't know until I got to the milk factory and tried to unload 20,000 liters of cream, the truck had to be placed in the wash area and have the entire contents flushed down the drain it was not recoverable. When I got back to the depot I said to the then boss why did you put a baffle tank on the milk run he claimed he had no idea it was baffled. Let's put it this way no milk no pay and the farmer weren't happy. Dingo

Round, smokin' and screaming for mercy other than that Greg I couldn't care less mate. Dingo

Real nice job on the Charger, did U know that the Charger wasn't the film producers first choice, they picked some luxury car to do the chase but it fell apart over the hills and bumps of L.A. so they went to the nearest Chrysler dealer and bought the Charger and man ain't we all glad they did. Dingo

I love to do the following when I'm not building either plastic or cardstock models, along with my wife we both sports pistol shoot (that is Olympic type) we also hunt feral animals as part of a feral control organisation here in Australia, both of us love fishing (both catch & release plus catch & keep (for food)) and we also do a bit of camping as part of our outdoor activities. I use to be in Scouts Australia, South Australia Branch BUT they kicked me out as they don't really like their leaders mixed up with shooting animals like we do ( Isay tough luck to them) but I don't really care now as I'm too busy doing the things I like. Dingo By the way, yes it's my real name I was named Dingo by my Father who thought at the time I was born I looked like a scrorny little dingo pup.

I find all my kits at either my LHS or at on-line hobby shops BUT not Evil-Bay don't trust 'em. Dingo

You could say I keep part of the box, that is I cut the box up into little pieces and get rid of all but the top of the box which goes on the wall of my den. Pictures below to show what I mean. I am fast running out of room on the walls and may have to go into the passage way to continue which means pulling down the gun posters a thing I don't want to do. Dingo

Rob yes it did look great in the red but I couldn't find that red paint again and me not being a GM man blasted it with green and George it ain't a GTO if U lok carefully U'll see the grille/bumper at the front and the bumper at the rear is completely different our Holden Monaro was sent to the U.S.rebadged a GTO when they didn't sell in the land of the YankTank (Aussie term) G.M. Holden brought them back to Oz converted them back to right hook and sold them as it, we have quite a few rebadged GTO's as Monaros now with all the GTO gear pn them. So that's why this model is right hook it's is actually a Monaro not a GTO. Dingo

It has gone from red to green but that don't worry me as I'm not much of a GM fan anyway but I wll build them because they a model cars that I can build anyway, so here is my 2004 Holden Monaro ready for the great race across the U.S. Cannonballers here I come. Yep right hook in the U.S.of A. The driving lights so I can where I'm going in the dark of night. Twinpipes one each side something very rare on Aussie new cars these days, these ones R made from solder. Dingo

Man could you imagine drive that thing wild hey. Dingo

The Model Roundup have the Mack R model for $59.90 and they are available on their website now. Don't woryy about evilbay, Model Roundup have them cheaper anyway. Dingo

Jantrix, yea sort of it has actually had more added to it since this photo was taken. Dingo

we use to have 3 bikes one ladie's and one man's mountain bike, we sold them as I could no longer ride a bike because of my irregular heart beat but we still have an eletric bike but it don't work at the moment my wife wants to up the power from 200 watts to 600 watts which means it will need a car license to ride it and we'll have to put a reg plate on it, that doesn't cost alot of mney but still having to give the Government money for a pedal/electric bike seems just a little stupid. Dingo

I know it's not much and it is my first try at a diorama, so I thought I'd do a small Aussie wrecking yard like one that's near where I live and yes it is as clean as my dio in real life. Dingo

Here are two mustangs built almost 20 years apart the light blue one is a build that i did with my son when he was around 11 yrs old the dark green one is one I built about 12 months ago so it show the difference and how far we've come since then. Yep a few things have been forgotten and one day will be finished off. Boy hope the owner has plenty of money the fuel this baby. You maybe just be able to see the stark drag interior The interior updated to modern day including DVD screen and steering column gauge pods. Dingo

Yea rronning84 the tanks colour was red & yellow (Shell colours) so I left it as was then I painted the cab blue as that's the colour the company ran way back then from memory I'm not sure but I think the tank on the rigs where the Shell colours coz wghen Shell took over it ran those coours I drove for a short time after the takever but the then boss of the company who was a Shell man found out I din't have a DG license so I had to leave not tht I really cared they got hard to work for in th end. Dingo

This rig is a sort of copy of a truck I use to drive many moons ago in the southern suburbs of my home town until it was taken over by a major oil company. The truck a Scania T144m is built from the Italeri kit and the tanker is wots left of an early to mid 70's Testor kit after one of our cats knocked it for a 6 (as we say), I was going to bin the tanker til I struck on this idea so here is the result. No the actual truck did not hve the fancy stripe work on it I put that on there just for fun. Dingo

David G, yes the blue might seem a bit dark but when U see it, it isn't really dark at all besides this is suppose to be (please excuse the this is said) a hicksville rig sorry I don't know of any other way of saying it guys after all I'm an Aussie and the backwoods of the U.S. to us is Hicksville. Dingo

I decide to build this after my wife saw a simular camper in one of my SA magazines and said to me why don't you copy that using a different car so here it is. Dingo

Actually Dennis it's a combo of two pete's both Italeri parts od the 377A/E and the 378 and it sort if represents a rig driven by a friend of our late sister who past away about two years ago now of a peanut alergy that she didn't know she had. Our sister Dennis whose name was Krystal had hever eaten nuts in her life and back in 2007 went to the God Cast on Queenslands Sutn Coast while she was there with us we went to a Thai eatery where she had a meal that actually had cashews in it but ahving tis peanut allergy was enough to make her very sick, she died just one week after returning from the hoilday and we have never forgiven the church that we once belonged to for her death. Sorry about this sad part of my reply but it had to be said as she helped me a lot with building some of my early rigs. Dingo

This rig is going to be eventually built as a B Triple it will have two A unit trailers plus a B unit. At the moment it is just at the start of the build and will take sometime to finish as I need to get the two A units @ a cost of around $103Aust each. Dingo

Here are a few trucks that i have finished over the past 12 months including the Black R600 Mack that my late friend use to drive back in the 70's 80's. He past away a few years ago of an unrelated trucking incident so I finished it off and was gong to give it to his wife but decided t keep it for myself as a momento. I hope you like my trucks. The R600 as it would have been loaded for a return load to Sydney Australia. Dingo
