More info in Australian thread.
 
How many of these would I like?????
Great work Col they all look great.
When might we see a HG Monaro?

I need photos of a Monaro before I can model one, but very much after one. I'm keen for some Kingswoods too, getting harder to find out on the roads these days.

The GT is probably done....

Hi Col,

That looks much better. :)
I should have mentioned before I felt your cars were a little too short.
Could you please give us a side-on screen-shot of this last one, & say a Hilux?. I felt they were a little too stubby.
A minor critique, not a complaint. :)

You are doing excellent work, with much-needed long overdue Australian icon content.

Many thanks.

Hi Noel

I guess a lot of my scaling comes down the fact that I often compare my vehicles with others to get a reasonable scale. I only did this cos up until recently I never Googled dimensions.:p

I feel I should be getting more accurate now that I do Google dimensions as I did with the GTHO.

I have a side on view for you of the great V8. :)

And a couple of reskins with a few more likely.

It will also be quite easy to make a normal XY/XW from this model.

There is something else I need to mention, and I only just found this out. I have used the side of an XW and the rear of an XY, this is what's causing me and others a bit of confusion. I guess if we can live with that, it's still a decent looking car huh?? :P

Colhad, I know some prefer scale drawings but if it helps check dimensions here's a site I found.
TheBlueprints.com
Has instructions on setting them up in viewports of some modeling programs under tutorials.
 
I hope that these pictures are helpful enough. I have two cars for you.

1968 Dodge Charger

(the only side view that I could find. I hope that it doesn't matter that it is from a different charger.)

Hi Col,

They look wonderful, & I've downloaded the 'older-looking' TRS2004 ones, all but this one, which has an error message, saying it doesn't exist:-

Holden Special HR (station wagon)

50587:27259:1

A bit sad for me, as this is the one I really wanted to get to play with.
But I can wait. just wanted to make sure you knew.
Anyone else have problems getting this one?.

:)
