The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Thanks Bumpty ...

Although I'm sorry to say that I haven't got any thing new to add - as I've been laid up for a bit with back surgery ...

Don't know when I'll get back to this, so will keep you posted ...

Ciao, Bantum ...

No worries mate. You focus on recovering before messing around again

All the best with the recovery

Cheers

Bennie

Cheers Bennie will do ...

In the mean time, I found something else FYI :

Looks pretty in black ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

Finally got round to finishing this drawing I had started ages ago :



Something for the Brumby boys to mull over ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

A few more genuine looking leaflets such as an options list, pricing, purchase contrac and newspaper ads and Bantum will be ready to hack into subaru.com.au

Or we all quietly distribute them to the front counter of every dealer we can get them to.

Then wait for the public pressure to force Subaru into a new small ute production run

Don't worry, I'm still working on it ...

Note : It might take a bit longer than I was anticipating though ...


Meanwhile here is something else that came in the post recently :



Will add it to the collection when I get a chance ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

Just added a few more parts to the collection of bits :

Maaattte!!!, those drawings are great. keep it up. well done

If Fuji was to use the line that they have steered away from industrial/agricultural vehicles maybe suggest they do not need them mixing in a show room with their current line up - the online sales approach with their other car that does not fit with the "All4the driver" theme - the 2 wheel drive two door that looks like a Supra ! It sold OK out of the show rooms didn't it (even if it was in Toyota show rooms where it sold like hotcakes

Finally got round to editing a short animation of the Ute :

Hope it works for you ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

Yeah mate the vid worked for me (from bookface link!).

If subaru are worried about going back to the agricultural thing, I'm sure they can offer two specs of the vehicle - vinyl floor and one with carpet - keep all the other mod-cons

I don't see why this can't be a goer - there's got to be a world wide market out there for a ute like this!

Cheers

Added some colour to the previous drawing :



I'm working towards to making a Scale Paper Model, so every one can have one - you just need to print it out & assemble it ...

Give me a few days to work it out though ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

You have done a nice job on this.
Subaru needs to make this ute.

Ok - Here it is, a paper model of the XV-Ute :



PM me if you want a high resolution copy ( PDF ) & I will put together an assembly sheet next ( for those 3D challenged ) ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

Looks awesome mate!

I'll request a PDF and get one on the go

Cheers

Bennie

Sorry I'm still working on the Pamphlet, but I did manage to get the model printed on some 300 gsm card today ...

So I began cutting it out when I got home & have been at it all day - Still got some bugs to sort out as I found a few 'fitting issues' in putting it together, so will have to update the file & when I've finished that I'll post the PDF up on here.

Cheers, Bantum ...

Ok - I've finished re-jigging the model & have up loaded it here :

Subaru XV-Ute Model



Working on an Assembly sheetnow, will post that when done ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

Edit : Sorry links are dead, will find another place to host the file ...

Wow man you've gone all out on this thing! I like it! Got any demo models to show us the paper kit works? I would absolutely make one if our printer didn't keep spewing out messages saying the ink has run out Question; would you have the data for this model in DXF form? The outside lines of all the parts I mean. Some of them are pretty complex and I know someone with a laser cutter

*Edit* Oh I see, A3 card stock required, $2 at a printing shop. I could see a thread on this; "Show us yer XV ute models"

Yep - I'm still working on that ...

I've been snapping away while building mine & have nearly completed it + I will post 'em up as soon as I've finished ... ( it will be a few days away yet )

Yes I can get a DXF done up for you, will advise when done.

Regards, Bantum ...
