  1. 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.
  2. My guess is around 1/22 scale.
  3. It was inevitable. How could I not build a Holden LJ Torana Lowrider style
  4. Trying out some ideas for a future LJ Torana build.
  5. DDA released engine accessory kits for the Torana.
  6. Engine accessory kits for the DDA Holden LC and LJ Torana kits.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Some more pictures of the LJ Torana.
  10. 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.
  11. Completed the LJ Torana.
  12. 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.
  13. LJ Torana Interior parts done, scratch built console and 3D printed seats.
  14. Thanks for always dropping in and commenting Bob. The colour looks a whole lot better with clear coat.
  15. Yeah the boxes are chunky, but thats ok. I have a cabinet dedicated for DDA kits.
  16. 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.
  17. LC More Information here LJ More information here
  18. Latest kit release's from DDA. LC GTR, single carb inline 6 cylinder. LC Custom, V8. LJ GTR XU-1, triple carb inline 6 cylinder. LJ Custom, V8
  19. Two more DDA Torana's, LC GTR version.
  20. Just started the build, so not much to show at the moment. But when I get a bit further along I will post in my Lead City Customs wip thread. Had another delivery today of DDA LJ Toranas, Custom V8 version and more GTR XU-1's.
  21. Some times a wish it was available as a kit, does become a reality. My holy grail Australian car, is now available as a plastic kit. ?
  22. I thoroughly enjoyed building the XW GT Falcon kit. Really looking forward to all the future release's from DDA Collectibles.
  23. Bit of experimenting/testing. 3D printed a XW/XY chassis floor pan from Altered 3D
  24. Starting to plan out some idea's for a DDA Ford Falcon XY gasser/streetfreak buddy build with @Brockc Figured I would start with wheels and working out the stance, as thats where most of my builds begin. 3D printed some wheel and tyre files from Z Force Model Worx And will be using a Texas 3D Customs engine.
