scummy

Yep , scania v8 .

Do guys still have amway ? , the product i used to use was industro clean from amway but they took it off the market . It was excellant at removing paint without any crazing or warping , it did have trouble removing metal colours but left to soak overnight and put under running hot tap water the paint would come off like sunburn .

Big hauls mate . I remember back in the 70's on the back cover of overdrive magazines there was a publicity photo of a coe peterbilt hauling one of the space shuttles .

Here's the link i have for them , and for those who dont have or know what they are , cheers . http://www.thepartsbox.com/

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my fellow modellers in the states from the scummy's in australia . Be safe when driving to your familys places for the christmas period . NO DRINK DRIVING !!!!!!! That way EVERYBODY has a safe and trouble free break .

Here's the AMT star i won on ebay built , i'm going to restore it .

Brilliant job mate .

I'm interested in how he used a cummins motor in a space ship ? Would'nt they use magnetic polarity for propulsion ? How many deisel stops are in space ?

Hey thanks for that info i see now how it lines up with the peep mirror . Most of the coe's here in australia have little mirrors on the door near the peep hole , some even have mirrors above the door to look down beside them on both conv and coes .

G,day mate , i'm a member of vintage truck forum and we had photo call of nuggetts , so heres the link enjoy .http://www.hcvc.com....?num=1320653334

Does anybody know why GMC had that gap in the middle of the console ? Any way this is looking great so far , great work . Depending on what time zone your building for , i like it with the hat on it .

A word of warning is that if you have one of these cavalier kits check the tyres . They are all turning to water ,some are just like chewing gum and some like mine have gone runny and gone through the kit . Do it NOW so you maybe able to save a big clean up later .

What about the motor from the autocar ? It's a natural breather .

Hey ! that looks magic , i like the short bonnet . What engine you useing ??????

Very nice , you dont see many of these in australia and the shows or displays .

Looking much better , in the before photo the little guy on the left doesnt like the donk idea either LOL

Here's the link to the photo's i took on the day ,

G,day mate . I ONLY go to two shows here in oz at the moment and i only go to see the long time friends i've made in this hobby over the years .I DON'T care for the trophys and other awards . I've recently lost one of my long time model friends and that drove it home to alot of other people , The attached photo is of group of us who have takin the name of the plastic mafia including the RARE chance visit of the only female member . So treasure these shows as one day someone may not turnup . P.S .I gota get to one of Coreys shows to see the bikini girls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very clever , great outcome when painted .

I use to get it every month for the last 5-6 years but we have to pay $14.95 for it so my job has me working flat out so i hav'nt read the issues i got so i stopped getting it .

eeP Photo of my muscle car , xu-1 torana on start line at bathurst 2 years ago .

The Australian model car forum has changed it's forum address , so here it is for those who look at it and wondered where it's gone .http://ozautobuilders.forum-motion.com/

G,day , it's most urgent for the people who have brought the cavalier resin australian model cars to check them as the tyres ARE MELTING ! Several people here have looked at their kits to find that the tyres are in different stages of melting , one of mine the tyres had gone like chewing gum but i was able to pull it off the rims but the other one had gone to liquid and run over the seats and grille and other parts in the bag . So if anybody has brought one of the , torana, mad max , falcons or any others check them ASAP .

Yer tried to post photos and no go .
