  5. Finally I was able to start the body.

  7. You should ask a the custom of your country. I ship different packages overseas, from US to Europe, Japan etc... And usually if the value declared on the invoice is $20, the receiver will not pay any expense. Some Country have a $30 limit. Here in the US, I receive package from all around the world and never hat to pay anything. Also when the declared value of the content of the box was over 100$.
  8. Pretty cool! Looks like a short movie and they used magnet to move cars. At 1:16 when the gold car is passing in front of the car wash you can see a hand grabbing it.
  9. DeAgostini is very famous for sell model cars, In Italy I think that they start in the 80's, to sell model cars in this way, and they sold trough book store, gas station and newsstand. The problem, like the F1 Ferrari kit years ago, was that they usually make available the first numbers and you can find them everywhere. After it is very difficult to find them, above all if you live in small towns, also the first numbers you can find them each month, after they seems to slow down, one each two months, sometime they skip a month and you don't have the parts. I remember back in the 90's, when I was into 1/43 scale cars, they came out with some cool Fiats. On TV and every where a lot of ads about it, and the first car was a Fiat 500, so I got it, it was very cheap ($5) (compared to other famous brand 1/43 scale maker) but very well made, on the little magazine that came with it, there was all the specifications, history about the Fiat 500. Also a ads with the next month exit, a Fiat 600 that I was able to get it, the price went up little bit ($6,50). When it came out, there on the next month ads there was a Fiat 127 (for $8,50), not the best Fiat, but not so many made in 1/43. I went to the usual book store, but they didn't had it, I ask and the girl check the shipment, and told me that they did not receive any magazine. I went to check other book store, newsstand, but same story. They also told me that I had to subscribe for receive them, but I dint do it. My uncle also collected model cars, he subscribed for the "cars of the 60's" and he had trouble to get some numbers too. Plus the price start cheap for the first model, and goes up... The moral of the story, when I saw something interesting on those collection I got the first and second model. Did not trust them too much.
  10. I start to work on the body, the cab part was already done except interior. No too much to show, I have been busy doing some work on the house, and not too much time for build the truck. I will post a picture of the update tomorrow.
  11. I was able to get the diesel tanks done. On the chassis.
  12. Thank you guys! Great movie, one of my favorite. the chase scenes are perfect for the Minis, I kind of miss those old movies with chase scene. Fromthedo cumentation I have from the original bus, they always had a 6 cylinder.
  13. Thank you Scott! Here a few more.
  14. The engine meet the chassis...
  15. The closest I did was the Voodoo Vette, inspired by a chewing gum card...
  16. The engine is pretty much done now, still missing all the wires and some small things, but I will add those when is on the chassis. The bottom.
  17. Great job! Please keep me update with the parts.
