HQ Holden (Ute Muster)

Here is another one of my scratch builds, a HQ Holden Ute. I didn't intend on doing the Ute this way
It started out with a clear blue over silver, it was lookin good until I picked it up with glue on my finger. (idiot) so then I had an idea???
a patch of undercoat, a bullbar, spot lights and rum stickers, and thats how it started.










I was wondering why the battery wasn't charging. I found the alternator a few minutes later, stuck to my foot!

Brilliant! Many great ideas are born from accidents - at least you've got the skills to be able to transform potential disaster into glory. I really like your ability to make everything look so real, all grimy and finely detailed. I'm going to tell my pal George Lucas more about your works. Oh not "that" George Lucas - this one is head of movie studies at our local TAFE college. Maybe his students can study your works and learn something from them?

thats a great looking ute, top build,were can one get the body of the ute.

Yeeharrr!!! Go the rum pig. Out here in the central west (NSW), these are as common as Hyundais in the city. I just love em even though some blokes go a little over board with the fake ariels. Yours is just awsome......now I wonder if I should do my 1:1 WB up like this???

Nice B&S Limo!! I can just imagine this doing some circle work after a big night on the p!ss!!

Allan if you look at Shoey's avatar in the left-hand column you'll see his posts, date joined, age, and location. Underneath that information are three small icons, the one with the letters "PM" is the one you click on to send Shoey a private message. You have one under your name also.

Has the cattle dog hopped out for a leak?

That's so bad, it's great!

One question though, why does your big-block HQ have catalytic converters?

Greening the planet? LOL
