Shite in Miniature II

[Split_Pin]

Holy crap, is that 1/18? Massive want. Ive just unearthed my 1/24 scale estate which was a Tamiya kit.

[Partridge]

It is a 1:18, glad you like it. Soon, I'll take some more detialed pics and upload them, that was just with a rubbish camaraphone.

Is your 1:24 a road car or touring car?

Corgi released a few of their Trackside shite in DIY packs:

They usually sell for around a tenner, but can be had cheaper if you are lucky.

Wouldn't it be fun to do a Virtual Autoshite Group Miniature Shite Painting Event to see who has the biggest childhood trauma?

I still have one of those pens, somewhere.

Glad this came up, I've been looking for this thread.

Here's my latest.

I have vague recollections of posting my collection before, but it's not in this thread so here. 

 

I was given these as a child by someone on my dad's side of the family. Unfortunately I don't remember who, or why I was given them. They're great though, the Cortina's my favourite and the horsebox has two horses in it!

 

And this one, a model of the Outspan Orange, I bought myself at Beaulieu and considered so precious I only took it out of the box to look at it occasionally I still keep it in a safe place.

It's the road car, I did it in red too. Checked yours out on Ebay and it's a good price for autoart. Watched!

I'll try and post some detail shots later for you. I paid £50 all-in for mine.

Thanks

 

Hey, I've got a Graffic Traffic MK3 Transit. The pens were spectacularly shit and ruined the paint job so when I was a teenager i resprayed it white again!

[RedSparrow]

I had a few of the GrafficTraffic cars. They always turned out shit.

[155V6]

I've got 1 Graffic Traffic car

[quicksilver]

I'd forgotten about Graffic Traffic but those photos have just brought the memories flooding back - I used to buy them from Woolworths (remember them?) and yes the pens always made them look shit. They must have taught me something though as I now know how to paint models properly.

In other miniature shite news...

Latest in Oxford Diecast's cavalcade of chod is this Commer PB. Looks just as grim as the real ones I remember.

 

[Junkman]

Too high-gloss, no?

I keep looking for a decent Fiat Panda mk2 in just car form,  Mr Lobster has one in crabini get up that's the best I've found so far but want a red one.

 

Who does a decent facelifted SD1?

 

Good heads up on the AKEI glass cabinets, could get my OO rolling stock out with one or two of those.

Buy it, send it to me, and I'll repaint it for you. No charge.

Not a problem at all.

Should you be anywhere near the Narf Waste, you are also very welcome to drop it off during a visit.

Vanguards have done some nice ones, and Minichamps have one on the way.

I had one of the Escort XR3i cabs in blue.... I also remember all the models with that style wheel had really bouncy suspension, that was when I was at my car buying peak.

And steamed up windows?

[Ghosty]

The blue XR3 cabrio was a late '80s promotional item from Kellogg's I believe - I have one that's still in its mail order box addressed to my mum.

yep if you drop them from about an inch they do vibratey bounce, there is about 2mm suspension travel on them when you press down on the front or the back

[sutty2006]

Yeah, and Matt bought a dozen Mk2 astra GTE's.... cleared all the stalls of them!! haha
