Supernaut Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I love that paint scheme! The stripes are simply fantastic! Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 BONANZA TIME! I've concluded that my eyes are not getting any better so almost everything I've got that's smaller than about 1/43 can go. And that's a LOT of models. Shiters who can be bothered to collect can have as much as they like, free. FREE. Yes I did just say free, as in no charge. All you have to do is collect. No pics at the moment but trust me, there's plenty to go at. PM me. Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Visit from Herr Junkman achieved yesterday. Small chod successfully exchanged for less-small chod, both parties happy. Plenty more to go at! Split_Pin, Junkman, egg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMG_20180519_144400.jpg IMG_20180519_144437.jpg I got a pretty good match from a Wilkinson generic royal blue rattle can. In reality once the back panel is in there is little to compare it to visually unless you stare at it from rear birds-eye view! I found the Steve Flowers one did need a bit of cleaning up of the casting to fit nicely but its a good replacement. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Just acquired a weird 'Old Cars' Iveco Daily minibus off of eBay. Pretty shoddy build quality but fascinatingly obscure given how hard it is to find two of the same anywhere. Detailing is good, just the quality of manufacturing is sub par... I also got a Mebetoys Ritmo from when the range was rebranded as hot wheels. Astonishingly good quality for it's era. Both were cheap. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Nice, that EFSI Walk-Thru. Madurodam is a model village attraction near Rotterdam, a good place to visit and pretty much as it was back in the Sixties. The other big Dutch maker, Lion Cars, did a Walk-Thru as well. Don't remember seeing that many of the real ones over there in the Sixties, though! 155V6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 My favourite car boot find from the weekend,I was quite chuffed for 50p Absolute steal.

Felly Magic Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I've quainted up my Cavascona, the chromed wheels looked bloody awful, now looks much better, and I've found my small Ixo screwdriver, so can get this bugger to bits, it will eventually be right hand drive Mr Lobster, Junkman and mercrocker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I know what you guys want.You want me to break the suspense and reveal the outcome of the Junkman/Eddyramrod interface. Well, here we go. The lot contains one of the oddly loaded Cola Floats (that's what Junkdaughter #2 calls them): Also these two trailers: They enable me to finally put my tractors to good use: eddyramrod, 155V6, mercrocker and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Completely unrelated to my visit to Eddy (no, really!) is this wonderful influx of warped French plastic. The Panhard came all the way from New Zealand, courtesy of Jon. It thus is the furthest travelled model I've ever owned. The rest are pretty locally sourced in comparison, I got them from my favourite purveyor of shonky Norevs in Spain. There is a one out of nine chance to get #1. So I did it. But wait! What is this? An original box!What are the chances? 155V6, mercrocker, Skizzer and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Nice additiuons to the JM fleet there, and so glad that Eddy's goodies stayed in the fold. You are a sucker for wobbly French plastic. Well played sir Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
155V6 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Absolute steal. Mine cost four times as much and I still think I got a good deal. Looks in damn good nick too.It's pretty much mint.It came in a box,I'm guessing it was bought as a souvenir & never played with.
