Vanning collectables!

Whats everyone got hiding in the shed or around the house in the line of vanning collectables/memorabilia? Here's a few photos of some of my model van collection to get things rolling, I'll add some other stuff up later too!

Coool Rob.

Rob, you better keep them well hidden when I get to Tumut one day as I had that movin out van when I was 16.
I see you have the convoy van too, I built that when it first came out and is still one of my favourites

Regards Tony.

Collectable HX Sandman? Go to BIANTE website. They are bringing out a 1/18 scale HX Sandman In Mandarin Red later this . Check it out.!!!

Cheers Ron

Tony I'll be dissapointed mate if you dont come up on the 11th of April for our model show!

Rob,I think I may be in Townsville on the 11th mate but you know I should of got your number as I was at wagga on the weekend and I could of came across.
We will catch up soon enough

Regards Tony.

Here's some 1/20 MPC van model kits from the 70's!








They'll all eventually get built, and I also collect the box arts! Their well detailed with full interiors etc.

Here's two 1/16 scale van models. Both originally released in 1977 by Revell models, so there 33 years old and hard to find now. The Movin on van still pops up occasionally on ebay usa at reasonable prices, but The Big Bad van is a lot harder to come by and their never cheap.


As far as I know they only ever released 2 vans in this big scale but Tony or Ron might know of others.

I finally got a start on my Vette Van kit. Still got a lot of work to do but I thought I'd share it. Have to polish the body still and finish adding and assembling the remaining bits. I changed the heads and added a tunnelram and some machined aluminiun air cleaners.





Here's some other pics of the HQ van I built (Forgotten Dreams), it just needs some more details adding to it to finish it off.

love the job you have done on the model. I see almost all models trying to look perfect but the rusted shell appeals to me

Just received phone call yesterday from local hobby shop that the 1:18 Holden HX Sandman i had ordered had arrived and rdy to pick up.

Finally finished my Vette van, here's a couple of quick snaps.











Came up alright.

Very nice job but you could have given it a cut and polish to get rid of the orange peel

Sweet

BeaudiFul Maate!

I especially like the Sunnies on the Dash.

Regards

Rusty!

nice work man.

Checked this van out on the weekend If only Rob had the money and time to spend on a real van. Would be summernats top 10 for sure!

Had a good mate and his wife down for a few days, he's a model and car collector from way back and brought down some freebies for me!!





And this ones a rarity I think.....

Nice score Rob!
