Bon Scott Bicentennial Superliner was created by
Today is 35 years since the great ( in my books anyway ) Bon Scott of AC/DC decided to have some drinks too many and choke to death on his own spew.
Poor bugger what a prick of a way to go...
I remember in 88 the Bicentennial Macks coming out and fantasizing ( I was driving a T-Pot then ) how cool it would be to drive one of those green and gold bangers with " Bon Scott " painted on the front of the bunk and..wait for it.. " Highway to hell " on the bugcatcher..
I never lost that dream,and I never won Tattslotto either.
27ish years later and today I decided to have that truck!
Not the full size one but a 1/50 scale one.
Maybe I should have put this in the Models section but I'm not sure whether the forum is keeping that section or not.
I'm going to kill about 4 diecast models to build this but they aren't anything that hasn't been made by the ten million or so.
I will be gravity metal moulding various bits ( bunk,bonnet for a start ) and posting photos from go to whoa.
Some finer detail won't be evident on the finished model but you get that at small scales.
Hopefully some of you will follow my journey..
