BIG BANGER

I have had a little break from building Brock stuff, now I am back into it again.
this time with the 1984 Marlboro Holden Dealer Team VK Commodore Group C.
I bought the 1/24 Aoshima Mazda Savanna wanting to build the Moffat RX-7.
but after looking at the body it was way out of proportion, so thats when I had the idea.




I was lucky, Just had to shorten the rear wing a fraction








I have to make a deep dish 5 spoke Momo rim.


Still a long way to go, this is only the first coat of primer just to see how it looks.

Awesome work as usual Shoey!!!

Brilliant work Shoey! Who'd have thought one day Moffat's Mazda would come to the aid of Brock's Commodore??? How strange (and wonderful) is the world of car modelling.

, can't wait to see this one done

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh yeah! I been waitin' for this one - bring it on!

Bloody amazing that all those RX-7 bits work so well on the Commy...looks awesome already - can't wait to see the end result!

now thats cool,top build.

Look forward to watching this, great start so far. Who is doing up the decals for you or are you going to be painting most of it?

Nice work on the conversion Shoey, this is gonna be awesome

You're still god in my books shoey

Got some colour on it the other day, still a long way to go if I'm gunna put it in our show. I have to make a set of deep dish MOMO's too.
The colour is Tamiya Fluro red, no matter how I take a photo of the paint, it won't show off the fluro. if I use a flash it turns out bright yellow. weird.

That is fantastic....i want one. Looks great with the paint on it.

Now that's a BIG banger whenI saw the title I thought oh yea what's this going to be some silly yank tank but shoey U've done well on the Commodore of that era now I just have wait to see the finished car. Congrats on the great work done so far.

the MOMO wheels were made by using the rear side of a rim and hand cutting the spokes from evergreen card.
the tread was also removed to make slicks. These wheels were made for the VK Group A version,
in short a Group A Race car was based on a road going vehicle. Group C bent the rules a bit.

Now that is modelling....nice work on the wheels, very impressive.

Great work, wheels turned out excellent.

Thank you very much sir!!!
