Back in December 2014 I was fortunate enough to have my 62 Valiant coupe featured in the Aussie modeling magazine,'ModelArt Australia'. I've not had the opportunity to display this before so I thought this was a good time and place to present this to the wider modeling community.    Thanks for looking in. Cheers TJ |

Congratulations!! Well deserved recognition for this build! Your scratch built detail and donor parts came together perfectly! You blended the body and engine, chassis and interior together so seamlessly it looks like it was all from one kit.

You blended the body and engine, chassis and interior together so seamlessly it looks like it was all from one kit. Thanks man, this was probably one of my most challenging builds, considering it started with just a body. The most difficult bits would have been cutting the bonnet (hood) open and making the front and rear windscreens, there were multiple attempts at making those .... and lots of %$#@&*%$#! too  Cheers TJ

This whole build is just off the frickin' charts Tim ( AussieTJ). Hats off to you for all of the fabrication work that you had to do in every area of this build and your hard work sure yielded in a build that was more than worthy of coverage like this. I have to agree with your opinion of the crown jewel being the fabricated Valiant emblem in the grille. Just unbelievable stuff man and a BIG Congratulations goes out to you on this masterpiece. WOW!!! |

Must be fun to see your work in print. According to Joe's comment, nothing new to you apparently but very cool nonetheless.
