    As always thanks for commenting Mathias, cant wait to get some colour on this LC Wheels and tyres I printed myself, painted with Alclad chrome and Vallejo 70.950 black. Wheels are 19' Staggered GM Magnum 500 and 3D files are ZFORCEMODELWORX they were up scaled to 19.5mm. Tyres are Mickey Thompson Sportsman low profile and 3D files are from MORRIESKUSTOMS they were rescaled to suit the wheels.

    Good to see another fellow Aussie. Will you be building some of the Australian cars that are available as plastic kits ??
  7. Cool Hand
    Tamiya compounds would be the go, the cut in would be less aggressive.

    Started planning out another Torana build.

    Some new 3D printed and freshly painted wheels for a Torana build. Files can be found on cults3d, rims are from MorriesKustoms and redline tyres from Scale-Model-Wheels-And-Design.

    My guess is around 1/22 scale.

    It was inevitable. How could I not build a Holden LJ Torana Lowrider style
  12. Cool Hand
    Trying out some ideas for a future LJ Torana build.

    DDA released engine accessory kits for the Torana.

    Engine accessory kits for the DDA Holden LC and LJ Torana kits.

    DDA are doing some of the Mad Max models next year and I assume like all previous release's the diecast versions will be released first then 6-8 months later the plastic kits usually follow.

    Just completed building the LJ kit. Changed the wheels which are from the LC GTR kit, which have centre cap decals from the HJ Sandman Panel van kits. Lowered the stance 3mm at the front and 1.5 mm in the rear 3D printed some side mirrors. Scribed the door lines and around the window trim. Removed the badge backing from the grill, opened the vents in the front fenders and replaced twin exhaust tips to a single pipe. Other than those features, what you see is how it builds up oob.

    Some more pictures of the LJ Torana.

    Thanks Mathias. ha ha, cheers Bob Thank you, all the window trim and trim on the trunk/boot is Bare Metal Foil, everything else is Alclad chrome. I always pre scribe window trim at the body prep stage. Its a tedious time consuming task. But makes it so much easier to trim the foil and get much cleaner edges.

    Completed the LJ Torana.

    Thanks for the comments Bob and David. Decided to start another LJ Torana while im waiting for the clear to fully harden on the other. My idea for this build is how I would have liked to have done up my 1:1. Wont be much different, just a stance adjustment with some alloy wheels, smoothed engine bay and triple weber carbs.

    LJ Torana Interior parts done, scratch built console and 3D printed seats.

    Thanks for always dropping in and commenting Bob. The colour looks a whole lot better with clear coat.
  23. Cool Hand
    Applied the clear to the LJ Torana.
  24. Cool Hand
    Yeah the boxes are chunky, but thats ok. I have a cabinet dedicated for DDA kits.

    Current build is a very special one for me. A kit I have been wishing for many years. Its my holy grail Australian car as I owned one 30 years ago and its the inspiration for this build. Luck was also on my side as an Australian hobby paint supplier Outlaw Paints had a near on match colour.
