Hello everybody, the 1/18 Seawitch HZ Sandman is coming out on the 5th of August and I have seen a production sample and they have come out very nice. If anybody would like one they are $230 including free postage. Contact Denis on 04 19 207 178 to arrange a order.

Do the doors open?
If biante were smart they would launch them at the All Holden Day
Who is Denis?
I'd guess he's the owner of "Aussie Muscle Car Models"

i got an SMS from him today to say my Sea Witch has been posted, they do look great and seeing one in the "flesh" got me to order one.

I've never understood how Biante (and others) make money on these, the new castings I've seen are so immaculate, they just did a 1/18 S1 XJ6 jag, last year, bonnet opens correctly (tricky), engine detail is awesome, all doors open, steering wheel turns driving wheels (of course) and even the suspension works, limited edition only made 5000, was avail in Australia for $160 AUD.... had to wonder how they could profit on that...
But I spose they make their money up selling stuff like the same classic popular castings (Like that Valencia HZ) over and over again. Cool to know about the HQ comming out, I've seen the valencia HZ's, havent seen an HX yet though (would be easy for them to do though, use the same cast as HZ, that cast is good, but not quite perfect - if its the one I'm thinking of.)
The detail on Biantes newer stuff is really good.
Whoever makes their clay models is talented!! Believe it or not I'm actually looking for a 1/18 Mitsubishi TP Magna atm... (no one makes em as far as I can see), I dunno if theres a market for that,... but little hint if anyone from Biante is listening... go the Magna, LOL.

I wonder if they used the right base colour. I'm near certain the base car was an Opaline blue van.
+why would you want to spend $160 on a TP magna model car when you can 2 x real ones for the same price?
