  2. Totally wild man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blows the mind and i love it . Is it an old kit or your own creation ?
  3. 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 .
  4. 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 .
  5. 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.
  6. 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 .
  7. 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 .
  8. 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 .
  9. 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 .
  10. Sad to hear of the passing of their dog . The dog , one of lifes greatest pleasures .
  11. 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 ?
  12. 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
