scummy

Oh dear , yes could have used a better back drop .

I enjoyed the read and explanation of how the builds coming along , keep it up mate .

We had a company in australia here that made work boots , and they moved their production over to vietnam . Ok the wages are not high there BUT they stll sell the boots for $100 ! When i emailed them and told them how upset i was at the lose of jobs and how they STILL sold the boots at the original price they told me they still make gum boots here ??????? Thats when i asked the question , that i stll havnt got answer for - WHEN EVERYBODY HERE HAS NO MORE JOBS AND ARE ON WELFARE ------ WHO BUYS YOUR PRODUCT THEN ???????????? Yep i understand we all want to make money and live a decent life but in my eyes it's just greed , and i think these countrys are seeng that and thinking well hey if they get that much for a little outlay why dont we do it and cut out the little man . It's happening right now in the beef industry here in australia the buyers are NOW buying up all the beef farms and supplying their country with beef and shipping it home , cheaper to them but the governments of these countrys are makin a killing doing it this way . And this country makes NUTHING out of the deal and the government don't see it as they see it as GOOD BUISNESS ???? If we are not careful WE will become the 3rd world countrys . Sorry about the rant but thats how i see it folding out , just look at how many pepole are on welfare here and in the states .

Are yes , the one i was lookin at is more slimmer . No worries mate .

They said on the news here in australia tonight that the helmet he was wearing got smashed in two !!!!!!!!! Now thats a hard fall !!!

So does this mean that the chinese government have noticed that the western companys have been getting cheap stuff but still charging us all million aire prices ? Seems that the chinese have waited till we all rely on them and then try to hold us to ransom ???????

Would the one from AMT'S reefer be the same .

Thats a very sharp autocar , is the chassis from the square gaurd auto ? Keep up the neat job .

I find it interesting that all the coe kennys built so far have spiders all round . Looks good so far , i lke it mate .

I'm a truckie and i drive a western star truck and dog tipper at the moment but thinking of going back on the highway .

There's no way i'm getting in that !!!!!!!!!!!!!

G,day , i'd like to say that not all australians have this type of thoughts and if you find it boring go and sit in the corner , oh and wheres the over priced mad max kits you were getting for people on the australian forum ????

Excellant truck ,does look really good on the spiders . It screams 70's australian truck all thats missing is the bull bar . Great work mate .

G,day mate , at the moment i do the old resto jobs and there easy . I use easy off oven cleaner in the spray can to remove the paint which seems to work quick . NOW for the pull apart stage , most are long discontinued trucks so the glue is old and brittle and you can bet the builder NEVER scrapped off the chrome so its not glued there properly either . If the glue is a bit thick and is going to break the parts a soaking in water for about 24 hours and the water will normally get into the glued area somehow and then its into the freezer for a couple of days . As the water freezers it expands and normally pulls the parts apart . Then there's the times when you help it a little with a sharp knife and try and break the part close to the joined area so you can easily put it back together . It's also best to have a couple of the same trucks so you can use the best parts , that's how i do it . I hope to help a little , cheers mark .

My god ! this is the buy of the year mate . You say the wreck damage is behind the drivers door ? I can see some little damage not enough to park it !!!!!!!

Yer , what is it about lady bugs that you cant hurt them ??? I'm a truckie and have no problem killing animals but not lady bugs ?.

So the ants keep comin and now they bring out their dead ? YOU MY FRIEND HAVE AN ANTS NEST SOMEWHERE NEAR YOUR WORK BENCH !!!!! Now what ever you do DONT mass kill them as i had a nest in my garage and sprayed them only to realize that a large massacre of ants stink like all hell a couple of days later . If you spray them clean them up as soon as the last one dies .

Geez that bunny sounds so scarey i nearly bidded on the item , BUT then i remembered i have one holy hangrenade left so i became unscared !!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice nostalgic unit mate , will watch this truck .

G,day mate , i am saddened to here of the loss of the greatest woman you would have ever known , but yes you must move on . Good to see you back .

Love the coe transtars , drove one when i was younger and loved it . We only had a 8/71 detroit but it went hard and fast . The bullbar is the same as the ones used on knights of kilmore tanker company of the 70's .All thats missing is the stone gaurd on the windscreen . Great job mate . P.S . what floor pan did you use to convert the truck to RHD ?

Yer we hav'nt seen those for awhile .

Just email them with your request and see what happens ? I emailed them awhile ago about the post exterior van and they replyed that they would look at it . It was the next trailer they released months after my request , you never know just maybe others are asking the question and it MIGHT be your email that tips the idea ? Give it a go .

Can they release this kit considering they modified the w model for the 600 kit ?

Things are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them , i keep hearing how this and that is worth mega but when it comes to sell they never really bring in the money . Alot of people ask me what i think the next big collectable will be in diecast and all i say is buy what you like that way you'll always be happy with what you got .
