Hi guys here are some shots of the FE Van, going to remove the chrome strip from the guard and door, do you think I should remove the blinkers as well.
Would like to do some Ansett and Taa versions, any other suggestions on colours etc.
The FJ Van is a little hottie we are playing with.
This was made from the Cordell FJ Wagon model so if you are thinking of buying a standard FJ Cordell Wagon better hurry as the FJ wagon will NEVER be made again.
We have the Cordell Wagon in plain grey as well and will list them on the site soon.
Cheers

Looking Great John.
The only critic I can see at a glance is that the set of rear louvres on the back are centred over the rear wheel arch.
The real one they look to be a bit further back.
I know I am criticizing an unfinished prototype.

Stewy that is exactly the feedback we need, you can look at something so long you miss the most obvious.
Well done mate.

Looking good John.
Personally I think, remove the spear and put the holden script on the guard.

I am leaning towards losing the indicators as you suggested.
Regards
Alex

Yes Alex I had instructed the script to go on late last night and I agree will look cleaner without the front indicators.
Thanks Alex great help.

Is it my eye's or the angle of the photo, but the headlight surrounds seem to be pointing down at the top of the guards.

Jim looking at the photo Stewy posted  and just checked out my own car they appear to slant about fifteen degrees.

Looks good, I agree with the louvres back a bit, script on guard and no indicators.
There is also some material inside the door window frame which shouldn't be there. It is not there on your other models (maybe flashing?)
