G'day and welcome to our journey celebrating and immortalizing in metal Australia's love affair with Aussie Custom Cars. The journey so far has been long, busy and challenging.
We intend to release a range of 1/24th Die Cast with only Australian Content, built the way Street Machine people like them. This car was stylised by Tony Hanna, the Guru of Die Cast in my opinion. Tony's contribution to Die Cast development in Australia is very important to the industry.
This journey has been possible due to the collaboration of many good friends (John Russell, Ken Mathieson, Rob Bender, Owen Webb, John Dyer and Ray Stafferton to name a few) that have believed in this project and like me want to own cars that Aussie's built and to keep alive this great tradition and the pleasure it has given to many Australians. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Trax, Biante and Classic Collectables for their inspirational models which I have and always will continue to collect. I now understand the work, risk and love of the hobby that is required to get even one car over the line.
Car number two the Coupe Wagon is also making a sneak preview on the products page. This stunner was designed by one very talented Shane Harkness (Harko). This wagon reflects the feel and direction that Models56 is heading. If you are interested in FE and FC's visit the clubs website on http://nsw.fefcholden.org.au this site is very professional and the club members are a very decent bunch. The team at Models56 invite you to feed us your thoughts and comments through the Forum once it is launched. We intend to grow this site with links featuring the art of collecting and custom building Aussie Content models. We have several new models in various stages of development, so be patient as it is faster to build a new house than a new model.
We will Endeavour to please the pants off you as we are passionate about this journey, come for the ride."
