The 1:64 BF's are looking good too

[VE II]

Thanks William.

Is the Jasmine Sandman Ute still on its way out? Do you have any pics of this model or the van?
Great to see the EB coming out - are there any final pics of that as the last photos suggested that the model had a way to go before production?

[Garry]

I'm confused?

[MOTIV8]

Thanks for the info William I know that I have my name down for the EB and Muir XD (what a beast) and all of the race 1/64th's :grin:

Just one question though and not quite sure if you are able to answer at this moment - Was wondering how quickly in succession the EB's will be released as I have my name down for all of them with my dealer? Just so that I can work out the money side of things..

Thanks and Cheers
Sean

Im confused by your confusion :confused: what is it that your confused about Garry???

[VE II]

Im confused by your confusion :confused: what is it that your confused about Garry???

June releases/announcements - the ute was down for release - but its now july and no ute.
July releases/announcement - the van is down.

Looks like Garry has some other information suggesting July release and than August release for ute/van respectively. I guess confused by which information is right?

[biante2326]

hi Sean i sent a PM to Chris Roche asking the same on the EB and he said i his last reply on the Falcon EBs that less likely that there will any other released this year, he said they were trying to get max sales on the John Bowe EB.

Who knows we may still see some im hoping the Seton EB winner will be out for xmas, but only time will tell as to we'll see more EBs this year.

thanks
Geoff

[Kashmir]

Excuse me.....what did you just say Kash!:freak::eek:

Sorry I meant "Awesome the Jag Bathurst Winner has been announced";)

Yeah It's still a significant bathurst winner even if it's a Jag.

[monarocveightz]

Im pretty sure we will see a Bathurst winning EB around October, Chris made some big hints about it a few months back

The Ute was originally listed as a June release, but was delayed.

The Van is listed as 'coming soon, only a matter of months away'
Source; Biante Newsletter - Issue 24 - June 2010

We should see the 'Jasmine Yellow' 1977 Sandman HZ Ute released this month, July.

Garry

[VE II]

Thanks Garry.

[brchi17]

I can't wait to see this one, looks like the DJR flood is about to begin....bring it on :cool: !!!!

[Pug205]

It is looking that way, will make up for the last couple of lean years for DJR models and DJ collection.

[BILLFORD1]

WOoOooo-HOOOooo.....That's one I can finally tick off the list after years of waiting !!! Now for the DJ '77 XB , "Pie-In-Ear" XB, Goss XBs and rest of Goss, Bond, Willmington, O'Brien Falcons & It will be Xmas all year round !!!.. :D

[jager]

William, did you forget about the 1:43 Brock BMW that's been carried over from June, or won't we see that until August ?

I see its in transit at the moment :

[William Hall]

There are a couple of carry overs, but, don't forget that the website always lags behind the store releases. The information I provide in the first post is store information.

[Sandman77]

Awesome Thanks:)

Hi Chris. How far away is the McKeown Cortina? Thank you.

[Maximus]

While where at it, Chris you guys got any plans to make the Panelvan from Mad Max or the Surfer Panelvan???

[Chris Roche]

fatty - due out next two week.
Maximus - no mad max, but maybe some surfers style panel van from that era!!

[VZSS]

77 HZ Sandman SeaWitch Would Be Nice.

[GLENN L]

77 HZ Sandman SeaWitch Would Be Nice.
whats seawitch a colour?

[Maximus]

Thanks for the quick reply Chris.
Another idea I was thinking about was you guys supplying some decals with the model that would fit into the area on the sides of the vans where they normally get airbrushed???
Maybe have it as a Competition where someone could design a picture that would suit with a mid 70's theme from the vanning days.
Just an idea......

Nah just this one.......Very famous van I have seen at a heap of shows over the years. Do a run of 500 of these I reckon.

[grease]

They look good, thanks for the link.

I think there needs to be a surfing scene looking out from a beach with palm trees on the sides a sunset (very low sun, so it is dusk), a flash of lightning behind one of the palm trees with a folk going into the water on the horizon and a small log fire on the beach.
All this on the side not bonnet.

[The real OZ GP]

I am waiting for an escort sundowner van with the bubble side windows

[sleepy]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/z32016104/h z-sandman-sea-witch3.jpgYes thats the seawitch trax did it in 1:43 i would assume someone still has the original 1:1 garaged somewhere. Transam type nosecones and big boxy guards were a popular conversion on the seventies holden vans but there were some bad ones. Theres a black one still kicking around in southern tas with a modified rear door set up has a huge window in the back of it guy in his fifties drives it around.

[Maximus]

Have a look here for HEAPS of pics of the panelvans from the 70's and 80's

Ahhhh, they where the days, going to car shows and seeing MODIFIED/PERSONALISED cars, today there full standard/original 70's cars.

[hobby]

They were great days,
I traded my Jade green SLR/5000 on a new HJ Sandman.
308 turbo 400 LSD etc etc ,chamois in colour
this was one of the last HJ's produced as I didn't want ADR 27A.
gave it the name of
Vandal

as a carpenter I help design and work on many panel van interiors.

I wonder what happened to these works of art that graced the many shows and wish I still had both the SLR/5000 & the Sandman

I traded my Sable (silver) SLR/5000 on a HJ Wagon (V8, 4-Speed, Monaro interior), and I too would have the Torana back in a heart beat (not that I don't like what I have now, but I loved that Torana) ! As you said "hobby", Great Days !
