Mat.T reacted to Spottedlaurel in Shite in Miniature II
Is it TS60 Pearl Green? if so I used it on this kit:
Really nice colour, suits a lot of stuff from the 1960s-90s. I can recall there being a metallic green on some 504s, your choice looks good on it!
TS58 Pearl Light Blue is a great colour as well.

Great job on the hiace (and the sunny truck!)
I've been on the hunt for the hiace kit for years now never managed to track one down yet. I would love to do a scale version of my 1:1 Hiace

Hiace finished:
Seems that I started it back in May 2021. It sat for too long before I got back onto it over the Christmas holiday.
Had fun with the various extras that came with it, plus Fujimi accessory parts and dinghy from an AMT Hilux.
Makes for a nice companion piece to the Sunny Truck:
Interior, before it got assembled:
Not hugely detailed, and I certainly wouldn't class it amongst my better efforts, but it's got a bit a bit of character and definitely looks like a Hiace.

That silver Capri II looks really good without the 'vinyl' roof.
I managed to make some good progress on my current 1:24 project:
For something that is quite toylike, sitting on a chassis shared with another van and intended to be motorized, the basics are all there and it certainly looks like a Hiace.
Some final detailing and tidying required and I should finish this one off next weekend.

Mat.T got a reaction from Burnside in Show us your estates
I've only owned 3 estates.
Firstly my BMW 328i touring auto. Purchased for £300 did loads of work sorting various issues. Great car and nice colour. Drove for a year then sold to a friend.
Next estate Vw polo 1.9SDi did about 40k in this.
Sold the polo on AS and got this Golf TDi to replace it. My current daily

Merry Christmas all!
Check out my pressie, from my son, drawn by our friend and neighbour...
He normally does motorbike and BMX work (he has a small but perfectly formed collection of very cool old motorbikes), but I think it's fair to say he's pretty good with cars too!
Adi Gilbert is his name, @99seconds_studio
(I did check with him before posting, in case anyone's after similar).
Made my day, hope all's good out in the shiteyverse.

My wife and I have been using toy cars to train my 2 year old son to use the potty. Each potty visit gets a sticker, 5 potty visits and 5 stickers gets a toy car. So far it seems to be working. So I've been looking for job lots of diecasts to use as potty prizes!
I chucked a £5 bid on eBay for this lot and to my surprise won it for 4.71. the pictures were rubbish so I didn't know half of it was there.
Matchbox catalogue was a nice touch
A pretty good haul especially the motor show matchbox displays (shame about the missing BMW) the majorette Chrysler 180 particularly caught my eye. Most of these look to nice to give to a 2 year old though. Some like the 180 I think I will have to put in my own collection.

Matchbox 'Motor Show' series from 1993.
Sold in USA as 'Show Stoppers' series. A few variations made between markets.
All but the Ferraris were unique colour-ways and all had extra detailing to the lights front and rear
