yogi-bear 2321 Posted January 26, 2019 ironic that you should play that song on Australia Day too! It could almost be our national anthem. I noticed the Aboriginal doco (well it looked Aboriginal) on the tv too, was that pure coincidence? Nice vid, the panel van is looking awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The program was Ancient Aliens on the History Channel. Just as the Sandman went down the ramp they went to Australia lol then before as it passed the TV they went to Stonehenge in England! Kinda freaked me out when I saw it this morning! Lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trini2DBone 633 Posted February 9, 2019 Been working on some other bits! I had to revise the HQ Nose panel that I started last year, the headlight surrounds were off, and then I also got the bumper built and just started to get the details like indicator light holes in.. once I get the HQ nose where I want it I will be making a cast of it and then modding said cast to the Premier version. The HX Premier version nose shown here, is a cast of the HX nose (off the Sandman) that has been modded! Still need to do some tidying up on it then will make a mold of it and run off some casts! Anywho... here’s a few pics of where it’s at ... watcha think?

yogi-bear 2321 Posted February 9, 2019 awesome work there again, I tend to prefer dual headlights on a car (especially the GTi Mk 1 Golfs). Also just noticed you're hosting your pics with flickr and haven't they changed or are changing their free hosting policy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They did put a cap on free hosting, I think it was 1000 pics... so I think I have about 200 left before I hit their threshold. I will try to set up another account and see if that works....lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trini2DBone 633 Posted February 16, 2019 Hey guys...here’s another update ! Did a bunch of wet sanding, puttying, sanding, priming, sanding, puttying, sanding, priming, sanding........ :wacko::crazy: well....you get the idea... till I basically said ‘thats it ... it’s not perfect, but perfect enough lol... decided to lay down some paint as it’s the surest way to see any defects... once the paint cures in a couple of days, I’ll make the mold and then make a couple of casts. This way, the casts will be just like the painted pieces and will require minimum work when assembling... Anywho, here’s a few pics...watcha think? I think it kinda looks like a HQ... 224A6E41-6342-456D-8D8E-7D2237BF90FB by Preston Lalan, on Flickr 5D7A2E6E-4CEE-43EF-B76A-A614EF22FC31 by Preston Lalan, on Flickr 4617CEF1-3B4E-4A93-B997-48CFA164AB5C by Preston Lalan, on Flickr 349F7D2A-ABB4-4295-A846-B89B49A8DFF8 by Preston Lalan, on Flickr 919816C7-6092-455E-B5A6-4F4EDEDF435D by Preston Lalan, on Flickr E5DCF99E-2050-4238-B1AB-E84E61BC33AF by Preston Lalan, on Flickr 126A58B7-47AA-4BCA-ADA1-6245679F006B by Preston Lalan, on Flickr 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes... this body it’s on is gonna be a one tonner .... but will be doing a Monaro in both the single and twin headlight flavors! Yeah the metallic green is pretty sweet! It was just a small bit I had leftover in the can from a globe liner I did about 6 or 7 years ago lol! It’s Tamiya paint with Tamiya clear coat applied as well ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trini2DBone 633 Posted March 6, 2019 Hey guys...here’s another small update Made some progress on the HQ Premier nose panel, but ran out of time tonight....tomorrow I’ll lay down some color and some clear.

Thommo 1217 Posted March 6, 2019 You will hate this..... Just the other day I pulled up alongside an identical Sandman. Owned and driven by a lovely older couple who had driven it all the way from Queensland (east coast) of Australia over 4000km here to Perth on the west coast. It was an original HJ or HX Sandman in Valencia Orange. This one was a 308 (V8) with M21 four speed floor shift and even the Sandman livery was the same colours as your model I'm pretty sure. Why will you hate this........ I didn't take a photo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey there Thommo.....apologies...I kinda dropped off the edge of it all...finally getting some time to fix the picture links and only yesterday saw your post! Bummer that you didn’t get the opportunity to take a couple of pics! A Facebook buddy actually saw one over hear out in the Midwest at a car show and sent me some pics..identical to mine as well...I couldn’t believe that someone had one over here...so jealous!! These are the pics he sent me... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
