Felly Magic Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 And today's project, bloody hell getting it to bits was a mare, hidden screws (under fuel tank & gearbox), but you had to damage the front suspension to get the gearbox out. It is now in 'Minder' guise, and is right hand drive, using a Vanguards donor. MarvinsMom, eddyramrod, AndyW201 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Some new stuff from Oxford Diecast. What's up with the windscreen on the TR7, too tall or wrong angle?Morris J4 by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Blue Volvo by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Triton Green Triumph by Adam Floyd, on Flickr And this arrived last week from Mercrocker, who wouldn't take a penny for it.

RayMK Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The beige Capri captures the look of many real ones back in the day - rust, sagging rear suspension and bent front numberplate nicely crafted. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 That TR7 looks a bit like an X1/9 to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Definitely wrong angle. I like that J4 though, that's excellent for HO scale! As is the weathered Capri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Judging by the quarterlights I would suggest that the TR7 screen isnt pushed all the way down, rather than there being anything inherently wrong with it. egg and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Further to earlier posts, is there much demand from folks on here for these Greenlight/Lootbox Mustangs? Nearby Poundland seems to have got another load in. I'll be doing a fair bit of minishite packing and posting this weekend... can nip back and see if there's any left, should anyone fancy one?

Junkman Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 There has also been some 1/24 scale receivage again. In several aspects, this thing is even better than the Minichamps 1/18 effort. DVee8, RayMK, Burnside and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 That would look spiffing in RHD, and I bet it would sell like hot cakes.

Amishtat Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 This may be a silly question, but who made this? It was in the boot of my 164 when I bought it. Nicely proportioned but there's no maker's name or anything on the undersideAll plastic apart from the axles and hubcaps, and it's around 1/18 or so in scale at a rough guess simcajet, rml2345, Skizzer and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcajet Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 That is a 164 made by Stahlberg, Finland.They made promo's of mostly Volvo's and Saab, but there is a Golf, KE70 Corolla and a Mercedes W123T as well.Look at www.fintoys.com for a comprehensive listing.Nice cars!

Felly Magic Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Stahlbergs fetch good money on the 2nd hand market, not seen a 164 before though, scale is around 1/20. Seriously nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amishtat Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Thanks, I've been wondering about it for a couple of years before it occurred to me to ask on here.

Split_Pin Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Thats an excellent gift from whoever you bought your 164 from. As said Stahlbergs are worth decent coin. I have a 1/25 Polistil version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the same trucks but two Transits (one PF and one RM), a Land Rover and a smaller scale truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I found a Stahlberg Volvo 144 at a car boot sale in Brighton station carpark once, back in the early 2000s, at a stall of assorted tat. Pale blue, bit dusty but looked like it'd clean up alright. It had a sticker saying £7 on it. Putting on my most charming demeanour, I asked the vendor if he'd be willing to accept £6.40 for it, as that was (genuinely) all the money I had on me. The mardy bastard absolutely went off on one, roaring at me in front of all the other browsers that if he wanted fucking six pound forty for it, then he would have fucking written six pound forty on it, but it doesn't say six pound forty, does it, it says fucking seven pounds, because that's what he wants for it. I scuttled off like a shamed pinemarten, my face no doubt roaring red from humiliation. So that's why I don't have a Stahlberg Volvo in my collection, and I doubt now I ever will... brilliant models, though! simcajet, mercrocker, egg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
