  1. Down under it is different
  2. Ok last hint. This cute little cheap farm vehicle was based on a car that was 21,529,464 times produced. The countries rugby team is know for their Haka. And the name of the car means earth. Hey guys I had received just one correct answer, come on.
  3. I had modified the reach according to muleskinner's tutorial with Evergreen square profile #255/#256. It looks much more realistic than before I not sure if I should extend the frame also at the rear end. I know that in the Pacific Northwest logging trucks have a long wheelbase and an frame extension at the back. But is this correct for a logging truck during den late 50' or early 60's. I couldn't find pictures on the net
  4. This one seems to be a hard one. Let me give you a hint. This car was build in a country that is located in biggest ocean and consist of 2 islands. And thick about the wheels. Those are used on a ......
  5. Thanks guys for your comments. But it is too late I had filled it. The dent looks too unrealistic on the top of the left hood wing. But I will do some weathering on the rig. I had start working on the Peerless Logger. What a piece of ........ I can remember this kit from the 70's when I had build the first one of it. The reach is too small, lots of flashes to remove. Yes it is an old Matchbox/amt kit. I should have know it better. I hope the the current release doesn't have this flashes
  6. Here the new challenge as usual sent a PM with Year, Make and Type. Good luck
  7. This time I was looking for a Brazilian car, Santa Matilde SM 4.1. It was produced by Cia. Industrial Santa Matilde from 1977 - 1997. A Chevrolet Opala was the donor car for this fiberglass bodied car. Beside the coupe there were also a convertible available. It was powered by either by a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder engine. The correct answer were sent in by Bucky Otherunicorn DonW Richard Bartrop Brizio congratulations
  8. Beside my other project (Oshkosh M911 and Mack LT) I had started another one. It will be a logging truck from the late 50's / early 60's. I hope that I got it period correct. The for this one is one of Dan's Model Kenworth kit. I got it a few years ago and I never though to build it because I didn't had an idea how to build it. This one is the worst kit that I had got from Dan's Model it seems that the mold had saw better days. There where some big resin chunks in areas were the mold seems to be damaged. I had to remove the spare post on the driver side step. It was replaced by a square plastic profile. Also the bottom of the radiator was a big chunk of resein. I think I have to rebuild the bottom section of the radiator. The hood had a big dent. I assume that the material is so thin had it could hold it strait. Here I added a brass profile on the inside of the hood to get it strait. There is still dent, but that will be remove with some putty. The chassis was an old glue bomb that I had bought together with a sealed Matchbox/amt White Road Boss.
  9. First mockup of my Mack LT I had remove part of the battery step and replaced it with my own battery mount. The chequer plate is from KFS. The rims will be positioned further out of the wheel.
  10. Let me give an early hint. Part of the manufacture name is a name t is used for a WW II tank or part of of the title of an "unofficial national anthem" (bush ballad).
  11. After a week of thinking I'm back with a new car, that wasn't part of the quiz since it was started in 2010. Yes 21 year we are playing this quiz. As usual sent a PM with Year, Make and Type
  12. I had checked all older Auto quiz that Ken, Matthijs, Harry, Matt and myself did. First off all I found out that the counting is wrong that was a jump from 229 to 300. And around 30 cars were double. I'll made a deep dive into my around 60k pictures and found a one that wasn't shown here. So stay tuned
  13. Guys after 2 times in a week I had to cancel the quiz because I did check the old quiz properly. What's next please give me the time to check every single auto quiz thread about cars that were part of the quiz. Then I would come back with with the quiz. Sorry for that. It is frustrating?
  14. Guys Again this one was in quiz 127. ? its a1948 Playboy and it was the same car I need a break I had a look and I found only quiz 117 with a car named Playboy but that was from 1923
  15. Yes now it is possible to print cab, frames etc. all the big stuff
  16. After the mistake with autoquiz 506 here the replacement qui As usual sent a PM with Year, Make and Type
  17. Dear all, I was informed that this car was part in Autoquiz 210 from Harry P. so I have to cancel this quiz. Sorry for that. Congratulations to all of you who had sent in the correct answer. Thanks to Steve for the hint.
  18. Off we go into the new week with a new quiz. Please sent PM with Year, Make and Type
  19. The answer of this quiz is Valaint Regal CM by Chrysler Australia built from 11/1978 - 08/1981. The CM Valiant range was basically a mild facelift of the CL, but with most of the bugs ironed out. The biggest changes were to the grille, tail-lights, body mouldings and badging. Chrysler retained the fender-mounted indicator lamps, which had proven to be the most practical and style wise, attractive layout adopted by the local car maker. This was the last full-sized Chryslers marketed in Australia until the 2005 release of the Chrysler 300C. The correct answer were sent in by Bucky dw1603 GeeBee Richard Bartrop warra48 matthijsgrit Draggon ChrisR otherunicorn Pete J. Congratulations mate
  20. Hallo Hans-Jürgen, 1) Ich nutze Fusion 360 2 )ja 3) ich drucke auf Photon S oder Photon Mono X Sorry in english please! 1) I'm using Fusion 360 2) yes 3) I'm using a Photon S or a Photon MonoX
  21. I'm building a Mack LT . I use the complete kit from AITM. It is nice kit withe a big problem, the rims. These 11x22.00 tire are ok but the rims seems to be not 20" rims. They are too small for a 22" rim. I have to search my parts bin to find some new rims or print them either. While watching a video on Youtube about a Mack LT 2 axle truck I saw that the battery mount looks different to the one on the frame from AITM. So I made quick 3d model and start prininting. There are a few other things on the frame to improve but these are not that important.
