Encase her in resin 😉

Glad to see you back buying diecast you don’t need Jon 😉 I’ve got that Siku and your right it’s both weighty and disappointing!

Did my mini shitters duty today to a young lad and his mum in Poundland, by suggesting the other green golf GTI on the peg he’d not spotted would be an ideal “dad” surprise! I wonder what his dad will say 😎 Its a sweet little thing though once released from captivity, even if the grill is a bit proud (Citi golf/mark 2 style) an printing of the wheel arches is a bit haphazard! Its also much darker in the flesh, closer to olive that bright green.

50p well spent! I presume it’s missing an engine cover, but hey 50p 😁

Between here: https://www.chateaudetanlay.fr and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avallon In you fancy a mooch, I really do enjoy a random French mooch 👍

That was my original intention! The Patrol photobombing was a bonus!

I was in Albertville 2 weeks ago, it was raining, and mostly shut - I bought a Welly Renault 5 there though 😁 Still traces on the winter Olympics, quite a few petal statues in the surrounding aera too. Top buying @FakeConcern some proper bargains! Transcontinental is a BEAUTY @Spottedlaurel

@Split_Pin Target is your friend in NY, otherwise I found the same as you in 2023.

Some random shots from across France, some old some new all shite! Will start off with a couple of blinders complete with failure to proceed! Future shite we never got offered: Where the streets have no shame: Just parking…. French Ramrod: FIN.

The pick up is a beauty!

I’m glad those Tekno were unpriced, they really do tempt…. seems keen pricing though.

Anyone for charity shop bargains 😁 In other news I have another Welly Renault 5 if anyone wants one 👍

So what did I get today? Well for a paltry £1 the Matchbox P1800 and £3 for the delicate matchbox cortina, both off the same dealer. Somehow the Volvo has past me by? Then possibly spurred on by @MiniMinorMk3 £4 bought me this battered box Herpa 1/43 S Klasse in outrageous bright red (says the man who ordered a bright red Mercedes) which really is a lovely thing and has never been out the box as I cut the sellotape holding it together! I think I will keep an eye out for these big Herpa’s in future. Lastly on the £3 table is the Autoart Shogun I’ve been watching on his stall since lockdown it gets cheaper everytime 😂 Box battered, but I was taking a gamble at rock bottom prices! What a gamble - it’s a beauty! Incredibly detailed, interior especially. The paint finish is excellent! For my shelf of things I like.

Toyfair buys with @bunglebus this morning, it first a few gratuitous shots - seemed to be a lot of railway today too. Giant (1/6th ?) 911 and quite a varied selection. Lovely meths fuelled stinking trains 😂 Carry case That Caprice can nearly came home with me again, as did the silver whizzwheels Muria. Everything this chap has is lovely 👍 Again more temptation with the £10 Solido’s especially the shorty 104.

STALKER! I picked these up too, they didn’t have the Cairo map in stock 😂
