Holden HQ (Street Machine)

[Cool Hand]

Once again something different, this time a build inspired and styled from Australian Street Machines. 

Basically out of the box build.

Just a change of wheels, which are 3D printed items from Jays resin wheels on ebay.

Aftermarket front seats from Top Studio.

Texas 3D Customs shifter.

Steering wheel from Platinum Scale on ebay 

Paint is Acid Rain from The Scale Modellers Supply. Interior paint is Vallejo Mecha light green.

Alclad chrome on the bumpers, grill, headlight surrounds, door handles, side mirrors, rear vision mirror and wipers.

Engine components painted with Alclad Polshied Aluminium.

Wheels were painted with Zurc Zuper chrome

Bare Metal Foil for the trim.

Beautiful work. Looks ready to head to the Summernats in. I owned several HQ Holdens back in my younger years, wished I’d kept a couple! Thanks for sharing this. ??

Man Luke....Very nice build dude.  I'm diggin the Alclad polished Aluminium on the engine and the Zuper Chrome on the wheels.  Another killer build man.

Excellent build Luke! Picked up one of these myself some time ago. Will get around to building it at some point...

Cheers

What an awesome build! At first, I thought you painted it with splash paints Ocra Pearl SP-215. But that's a nice color you put on it. At one time, we had talked about applying alclad. It really helped me out using that stuff. But I got to say, you have the best alclad I have seen. So brilliant. Fantastic work Luke!

Beautiful build. Very sharp-looking.

I have one of these on my to do list. Yours really turned out great. Love the Zurc chrome but shipping to US might be a costly one.

[bondo bill]

very cool build

Beautiful build. The paint, the wheels, the engine, great stuff.

Great looking paint color and finish. Like the stance. The Holden cars had some really nice four door body styles.

Clean building skills on display with this fine looking model, hats off to you on a perfect looking model.

 Nice! I absolutely love the paint!

[Bruce Scully]

This is a top class build Luke , it looks awesome.

So cool! Aussie rods have a vibe all their own. I'll have to see about finding a source for models from down under and try my hand at them. I've especially been wanting to do a rodded up Ute.

Very clean build there Luke, I like the standard Kingswood look with all the street machine goodies. I also had my fair share of HQs. Two station wagons, one with a 202 six and one with a 327 chev. I also had a Premier sedan with a 308 and 4 speed. Really well done on this iconic Aussie classic. 

Cheers,

David. ????

That's cool!  Looks really nice.

[Yeah Nah]

Just gorgeous on every level Luke. The HQ is, was and always will be my favourite Holden.

[PappyD340]
