egg Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 New axles and wheels on the Morry thou. Base is going to remain stripped back. One axle a bit long the other too short. To my 41 year old eyes this is bloody microsurgery! Now back to the body in the 'paint shop'... mercrocker, RayMK and Junkman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Being stuck in a depressing shithole in the Midlands has its advantages.You can do some retail therapy because you deserve it. They also had an empty pack of a Karmann Typ 34 which I didn't buy for some odd reason I regret now. eddyramrod, egg, Conrad D.

Datsuncog Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Finally got the SMOL Shite In Miniature display cases assembled and mounted on the bedroom wall today. Mostly Oxford 1/76 and Cararama 1/72, with a smattering of EFE and Real-X in there too; one case of 50s/60s/70s classic-type stuff and one containing more modern 80s/90s/00s shite. I'm waiting on eBay to deliver some brass corners to hold the glass fronts in place, to make 'em dust-proof. Also encountered more shite in Home Bargains over the weekend: Solido Lancia Lybras in 1/43, plus Revell Ford Crown Vic peelermobile kit - £2.99 a pop. And 1/24 Fiat Doblos, only £3.99. Might be worth checking your local stores, folks - or if you're super-keen, happy to go back on your behalf and post them out to you.

Datsuncog Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Those are absolute tat, I'd happily pay postage for a Doblo and Lybra... No worries - I'll be passing on Thursday evening so will call in and see what's left! One of each, if they're still in stock? What scale are those Crown Vics? Honestly not sure - the box looked big enough to accommodate 1/18, but I doubt they are - more likely to be 1/24 or that 1/36-ish scale Revell's other snap-together kits come in. I'll take a look for you when I'm passing later in the week - is there a preferred size that would interest you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thank you. There isn't a preference really. I would more or less expect them to be 1/24 or 1/32; if the box is quite big I'd reckon 1/24. I might have to invest in one when I feel more up to the work.

Junkman Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The Revell schnapps tit tilt and lay Vicky kit is 1:25 scale.I'd like one too, please.

Datsuncog Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 No worries kids - looks like tomorrow night's route will take me past a whopping five branches of Home Bargains, so I'm hopeful procurement can be made to satisfy everyone's unnatural diecast and plastic desires... who's for what, then? - Solido Lancia Lybra 1/43:bramz7 x1 - Fiat Doblo 1/24:bramz7 x1 - Revell Ford Crown Victoria 1/25:Junkman x1 If anyone else wants owt, just let me know before 7pm tomorrow! Postage should max out at £2.95 for a second class standard parcel, so unless anyone wants an entire pallet it shouldn't cost any more for two or three models. The Lybra model is pretty good, I had both the high-end Solido spec and kiddy-oriented Majorette version that appeared to use the same casting.
