Put your hand up if ya like this one on the bench





Started life as a diecast
Rod

that's a cool van,look's like a early international

47 methinks
Rod

ya look's about 46 to 49,would look good as black police van.Oh who make the body,is it a curbside.

Made by FIRST GEAR 1.25 scale $39.99, renown for detail, pretty much kerbside, but once you pull it apart, you can detail the s... out of it. Good value, with many possibilities.
Rod

Hey Rod i could use that to get around in please mate.
Cheers Marshie

Looks really cool Rod , but where did you get the dude wheeling himself up the ramp ?

^^^^^^ Love it. I'll 'ave to find me'z one. Loads of potential.

Looks sweet

Forgot to add, Chrome visor is of Italari Kenny kit. May even change it to a police van, I have some 1.25 police men and marshie could still stay in the scene.
Rod

Nah, I think some kind of street machine would be cool, maybe matt or gloss depending on colour.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really am more of a hotrod/custom person. 20" Billets with rubber bands for tyres don't rattle my cage.
Aint it good that we are all different though.
Rod

Its funny though, when I think of a street machine, 20's and thin tyres don't come to my mind either. I just usually think of a big engine and nicely built.

Probably cause there is a 33 year diff in our ages. I prefer rods and customs pre 1960 (generally)
Did you not build a grey 32 coupe with flat black wheels, very thin tyres?
Was a really good build, but my style might have steelies and wide whites, thats what makes this place fun.
Rod

Who cares what wheels go on it? So long as you chop the top
Should make an interesting build, will be watching

I have to say this is highly original. My hand is up and I'm waiting patiently to see the end result. Nice one!

Yeah that was me, I was just trying to build something different, as much as I like hotrods, I like to see something different also.
This was another build of mine, (sorry to hijack the thread, not sure if you have seen it before), just showing I like my customs too.

Not only do you likem, you are a good builder too.

Watching progress to see what you end up with .

How about the fastest Ice Cream van in the west side? You could even have it playing Greensleeves. Or a sweet milk truck.
