Burns Brothers Racing '41 Willys coupe.
checkmate replied to checkmate's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
G'day guys it was built just using my imagination and not based on a real car, I built it for my two sons Scott who's 8 (Scotty B driver markings) and Josh who is 6 and we call Poppit (Poppit Burns Race Engines). The kids like the way it turned out and love the fact their names are on it. Thanks for the positive comments, I'll get some nicer pics outside. I'm building another gasser now based on a real car with decals I got off ebay. -
Really nice build.

Burns Brothers Racing '41 Willys coupe.

Finally finished this one up last week, been progressing on other kits and having treatment (chemo) which slows me down a lot. The interior, engine and underside pics are all prior to final touch ups, I'll try and get some better pics outside once the weather fines up a bit. -
Thanks heaps for that Tim, I've been chasing an Aqua Rod Van kit for my van collection but have been unable to get one so far. Checking box arts online I learnt it had a Ford engine but was wondering how similar they'd be. I was going to maybe get some aftermarket Aqua Rod decals and build up a Chev van and Hot Rod Hydro and decal the pair as Aqua Rod if they were close. Interesting to check out the differences. Thanks again.

1/10 scratch built Holden HX Overlander Panel Van
checkmate replied to prestonlal's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I've loved following this on the Aussie forum, owning 3 Holden vans I'm very biased towards them. I can get measurements Preston if required, things have slowed down for me here so I now have time to measure anything you need. Since getting cancer and settling into chemopherapy and treatment I've stopped working so have time now if you need help at all mate. Cheers Rob -

Early Econoline in 1/25 would be great, similar to the old 1/20 MPC kits but as a 2 in 1, stock or custom. Or for something different a Holden Torana SL/R5000, now that'd be great. -
AMT Peterbilt 359 California Hauler Wrecker
checkmate replied to Tory's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I've got the original issue here and have looked at the box art dozens of times and pondered how good a model would look done the same I now have the answer. Exceptional. Love the paint scheme, fit and finish and all the smaller details, she's a real credit to you and your modelling skill. Well done mate. -
Started this one awhile back and have been working on it and a few others but finally got this one finished. Not my usual custom van but a near stock delivery van. Mostly standard out of box but I added some different decals, added a cargo of AMT kits in cartons, changed the kit wheels for some standard Ford commercial looking wheels and after finishing it, it sat like a 4x4 at the front so I lowered the front to give it some rake.

I'll be grabbing 2 or 3 of these when they come out for sure. -
I ordered two DM600's this week and will grab one of these when they come out to put behind one of the Macks.

Looks great I've got one here I need to put together but was worried about the decals till I found some new ones on ebay. I should get stuck into mine when they show up. -
Great build.

Burns Brothers Racing '41 Willys coupe.
checkmate replied to checkmate's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Got some decals on today, a mix between decals from the K.S Pittman/Stone Woods and Cooke Willys' and a few a mate made for me. (Burns Bros Racing, Scotty B and Poppit Burns Race Engines). Scotty B is my 8 year old son and Poppit is my 6 year old son Josh's nick name. Also got some Tamiya clear over the top of it all. Started painting the interior and got the chassis done in black also to keep it progressing along. -

New Mad Max Film
checkmate replied to 72 Charger's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Chris Schumann "Shoey" did the van, I've got a couple but they weren't for sale to the general public. He also did his own XB which was more in scale than the one pictured and did an incredible mad max crash diorama. http://ozautobuilders.forum-motion.com/t7119-mad-max-crash-scene
