RayMK Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The internet is wonderful. Someone else has a collection of them! (1/77 scale plastic cars ref. my post 5818) http://www.modellino.ch/77.html Edit: I also happen to have the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud on the next page of the link. Clearly this chap has impeccable taste. Edit: Bloody hell, he's even got a better collection of the 1/70 scale F1 cars than I have! Amazing! mercrocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Look what I got... in 1:16! Oh yeah, that's right. The absolute peak of the British* motor industry. Tell you what though, this is one hell of a model. The detailing is superb and it's got tons of fun stuff like a parcel shelf which comes up with the boot lid, folding mirrors, an opening sunroof and seatbelts with little chromed buckles. It's perfectly put together too - not a sloppily applied decal in sight. It even comes with a little plastic tool for opening the doors. 1:16 is a weird scale to choose, but it's got a bit of presence. If you fancy it MG are punting them out for £30+post on eBay in several colours. Well, one colour and a bunch of greys. rainagain, Junkman, 59Impala and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thats a mega bargain! Ill bosh that on my watch list. The 2 Chinese dealer models I have are domestic market items and the detail is better than any of my other 1/18s. Opening petrol flaps, sunroofs, folding mirrors etc, although there are a few paint blemishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Watched, althogh theyre up to 35 quid now. The direct from China ones are at the more usual ton posted so this is still a big bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Imagine a Renault 14 or something in 1:16 with this level of detail and functionality! mercrocker and Junkman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I bet that's already more functional than most real 14s. Be interesting to see them measuring the wheelbases, though! Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyarddog Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Anyone else collecting these?They look really well done. eddyramrod and Junkman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59Impala Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Yes indeed, I have bought all three whilst browsing in newsagents, couldn't resist them. Next one is a Beetle I believe. I'm not going to subscribe though although I would have liked to get the replica Dinky garage. Strange though that they advertise the garage with three Spot-On cars! Or is that their next series? junkyarddog and Junkman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have a couple of UK Atlas models, the Mini Traveller and the Leyland Octopus tanker but its the 2 French Atlas Dinkys that got from ebay which I really like. I have a Renault 12 Gordini and Peugeot 204. I recall a 10 year old me picking up a real Dinky 12 Gordini at a Swapmeet about 30 years ago and being crestfallen wjen the stallholder told me it was £55.

59Impala Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'm a tad late for the Norev lovefest but remembered that I had some sitting in a storage box so thought I would take some snappies for your goodselves. I think that I bought these years ago on day trips to Calais etc and then smuggled them into the country. My mum was always convinced that HMRC would catch the miscreant schoolboy and punish him severely, lol. Also added a Solido 504 and a Mebetoys Fiat 128 just because they were in the same box. eddyramrod, Laseraligningfoofooflanges, junkyarddog and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bergerac Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It's an incredible model in every aspect.Why don't they spend this tooling effort on something nice, though? You can also get large scale models of the facelift MG6 and the China only second generation one as well. Think of the cars you can't get decent models of but you can get three different versions of the MG6, which is something you wouldn't think there would be much demand for at all even in China. Obviously, I've ordered one. Junkman and Laseraligningfoofooflanges 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Tonight in Morrisons £1.30 Shame about the 22" rimz Roofline also a bit odd? I picked one up a week or two ago along with a Mini and the Honda City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Those Norevs are ace and look a lot older than mine. You have reminded me that I also had the Peugeot 204.

Junkman Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Nürnberg, Nürnberg, Nürnberg! Today the Spielwarenmesse opened its doors.As every year, my agents are deployed and I will report as soon as they provide me with anything interesting*.Naturally my emphasis will be on 1/18 and 1/24-25, but please feel free to let me know if you would liketo learn about the news in other scales. Since the model kit thread has for some weird reason only the staff can comprehend relegated to the off section,I'm unsure whether I shall post kit news there or here for consistency. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lobster Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Seen a few announcements from Das_Toy_Fair so far but a general lack of pictures. Nice 1:18 Schuco's for VW fans plus a few new Minichamps and Norev bits so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
