Well finally Finished my AMC Javelin Replica of my bosses Racecar.. After showing this to my boss , he really wants it , so I decided that I could do with the money so its heading for a life as a shelf queen on his desk. So he doesn`t need the RC gear ....so i`ve spend the last few weeks building up a wood base , and roll cage (drinking straws) dash, seats etc..The belts and window net are made from masking tape that i`ve painted .Steering works , and the wheels roll , was going to make the head lights work , but it ended up been to hard to do!! >

All most ready for a fang around the track ....

after paint and a few detail shots

heres a few photos of one of my model stockcars i build, Mostly scratch built for plastic card and the odd resin bit , first photo is of the real car , so you guys get an idea of what we run down here in little old NZ Before paint After paint Before paint

Thanks.... yes you are right ... changed it now

well after spending some of my holiday at my dads fire museum ,decided to give my model a total Re-build ..This one. So I have replaced the rims and tyres ,also made up a new front window , re-painted the seat and re-build new racks for the ladder and suction hoses,also new dash and build up some rubber mats from cardboard for the back lockers I`m now working on a new back step and rear pump.... here`s a photo of my Dads 46 ford fire truck that I`m using for references... Here`s a couple of the re-build model ...so far... Never thought i world see the day I did a shine model.. got a couple outside ...while the sun was out ;D Pump all painted and new large back step...

Decide that I would have a go at build one of my Favorited speedway stars of all time little mini stockcar...aka Square bush the clown , who was a true legend back in the early 90`s ... The wheels are from a matchbox car and the rest is made from plastic card and plastic strip.still have to scratch-built the motor and a few other bits , have been playing around with a figure to go with the kart , think it would make a nice tribute to have a figure of square-bush next to the kart. figure from one of those guys from the Fujimi garage set and with a heap of bog and carving now looks something like this...paint to come!! had a film crew around today , seems that the world has got out about a come back by square-bush Engine is mostly scratch-built from plastic card and the odd bit from the parts box

Wow ..... nice work , I had a go at build one like this a few years back , I used a peterbuilt cab , build mine like that video of Piss of pete,i think theres a pic in the rat rod file somewhere...Anyway.... Very cool build, Mark
