scummy

What a tough looking unit .

Totally wild man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blows the mind and i love it . Is it an old kit or your own creation ?

No worries mate , we all go through the stage your at now every now and then but dont worry we will be here waitng for you .

G,day , when the club i was a member of was still going we put a display in the town library for a month and got a few new members .

G,day , a little while ago i read that mcm was going to be on the newsstands ? Does that include australia as we can get sae here but not the more superior mcm magazine . I don't like to subscribe to any magazine as for some reason i get them opened and damaged everytime . Cheer's mark.

Oh my god , i'm sadened to here of the loss of the greatest man you will ever know , remember him and the great times you had together forever .

Excellant unit mate looks magic .

In the 70's all of the overnighter trucks ran 8v71 dets in australia , i had one in a 1974 series 2 atkinson and at full noise it screamed along at 75 mph .

I usually buy old built up and glue bombs of out of production trucks and restore them , i've been through the out of the box part the super detail part and now the restore part of my building time .There's something about dragging out a rare restored model and placing it on the table and seeing the response form fellow modellers . There's also the feeling inside to see someones pride and joy that didnt workout the way they planed that i have brought back from the land fill where it should have gone . Because of the age of some of them you just need a sharp knife close to the join line and twist and it normally just opens up , some have that much glue you just have to use two pointy nose pliers close to the join area and break . Yes the freezer thing works , i've found that after sitting in the paint stripper for awhile helps break them apart . I brought a job lot a little while ago with a couple of trucks in it and there was a car in amongst it , they tell me it's fairly rare . Some said to restore it but i think i'll just leave it as it is , what do you guys recon ? See below the photo's of the car .

Very nice so far , i like the very realistic office shack . You would only need an extra pump if the automobile population had increased in the area remembering that the car was very expensive in that time . Will be watching this diorama as it goes along .

Sad to hear of the passing of their dog . The dog , one of lifes greatest pleasures .

These cars are outstanding and are in great nick . I see the holiday has tinted windows , what a great touch . Where are all the molds of these great old classics ?

There's one on ebay in australia at the moment . http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AMT-Star-Truk-Plastic-Model-Kit-1-25-Extremely-Rare-/130710423576?pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Model_Kits&hash=item1e6ef2c818

Mate , that is so cool ! Love the red wheels with the whitewalls , i'm sure the diecast collectors are cursing you for improving it .

Top looking truck you've done a great job .

Car was right hand drive , i remember about 25 years ago the car or one of them with us plates on it was for sale in a small car yard in parramatta , (sydney ) for alot of money .

MAD MAX LIVES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simple ! make up another account !

G,day , i'm a member of a muscle car forum in the states and they started a page like this and i tell you it has pictures of everything . I think you guys will love what you see , here's the link . Cheer's scummy. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/313632/1

Last night i tried to post some pictures on a model truck forum and it all went normal but then put up a message saying that images were deleted or erased ?

G,day mate , i got two , first one is of what is suppose to be the first car made in australia . It's a 48-215 holden commonly called a FX holden , the photo was takin many years ago at an outback place called silverton , it's next to broken hill where they filmed mad max . The second one is of whats left of the fuel depot from mad max 2 .

I remember in the trading card series , 18 wheelers there was one done in harley davidson scheme .

Geez mate , she's done some miles , better give her a bath this weekend she's worked for it . I love w models kennys .

What a great save , it looks great i like it ,not sure on the wheels though .
