Shite in Miniature II

[Junkman]

Because it arrived after you had left for your country seat in the Midlands.

[DVee8]

My mother works in a charity shop today she gave me these.

 

 

 

 

 

Has anyone any info on these?

Are they dealer sales to go along side your 2001 new Primera?

The Primastar is still in its clear film.

[Lord Sterling]

^^^^ Those were Dealer issued models available to anyone who happened to see them in the dealership.

 

What scale are they? I've only ever seen them as 1/43.

 

If your ever getting rid, please let me know.

[DVee8]

Mo i have no idea what scale they are.Sorry they are going into the collection for when the kids are older,but  you have first refusal.

On the bottom of the boxes Primera www.jcollection-models. On the Primastar www.Norev.com france.

[Pillock]

The Primastar looks nicely detailed.... the Primera, I wouldn't know how accurate it is as I can't recall ever seeing an actual factual one of those on the road!

I received this beaut today, at warp speed from LOBZTA & CO.

 

Welly have really improved their quality since I last purchased their products 7 or 8 years ago. The plastics used together with the fit and finish are vastly superior to the rather rough texture of those used previously.

 

I'll be looking out for more Welly products as Minichamps etc are well outwith my budget these days.

[Junkman]

I got me this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It will complement this quite nicely:

 

[Junkman]

I CAN HAZ MOAR J-Styrene shite.

 

[DVee8]

Hay Junky i have a mate that lives in japland i may drop him a line,get him to look out for any kits like these,try and find out prices and shipping

[Junkman]

I can't think of anything I'd more appreciate.

Thank you so much!

[plasticvandan]

I has bike shite! Tho I suspect they aren't white tbh,just acquired these old kits in 1/9 scale made by protar,of a racing ajs and a Manx gp Norton,still boxed,bagged and complete with instructions and waterslide transfers,any of the more professional collectors got an idea as to value? And would anyone like to buy them?

[Junkman]

If I'd tell you the value, I couldn't buy them.

 

Well, I do it anyway, since anything else would be unfair, but it means I am out. The AJS is ca. £120, the Norton around £150.

[plasticvandan]

Thankkyou very much   good buy at £2 the pair then? lol

[Junkman]

Yes.

[tooSavvy]

BoB (last seen duetting with that tidy bird from Paramore) has released a 1:18 scale Volvo P1900 and I REALLY WANT IT before the prices shoot up. Ebay sellers are already gouging like mad.

[Junkman]

You mean BoS, surely?

[Mr Lobster]

Jon, give us a link to one and I'll do some digging...

[Junkman]

BoS (short for "Best of Show") is a resin series actually made by OTTO exclusively for model car dealer "Model Car World" in Germany.

[Mr Lobster]

Right. Hadn't realised it was BoS, didn't see Mr Junks post above mine! However, there is a small chance we can get them - we have managed to get a couple of BoS's via a contact in Germany before so I'll see if anything can be done. Don't get your hopes up though...

[Junkman]

Can you please also check for the Karmann Typ 34 while you are at it?

Oh, and the Admirals, and the P7a, and the 12m and the Kapitän...

 

Damn. I'm too poor for this hobby.

[Mr Lobster]

Yep, will do. Like I say, don't get your hopes up but its not impossible.

[sheffcortinacentre]

anyone know of a mk3/4/5 Cortina (taunus the later 2)  in 1/25 or bigger besides the 2dr mmk4 ones (very expensive.

[Junkman]

Sadly that blank has not been filled for the past 40 odd years.

[Mr Lobster]

Yep, only the Neo 1/18 one which is £££££££££s.

[RoadworkUK]

Following recent acquisitions from quid shops, and significant eye-rolling from my other half whenever I show up with more choice purchases, I am having to seriously kerb my habit.

 

I also have a self-imposed max outlay of a shite-friendly £3 per model. Lobster, I'm afraid I'm far too tight to throw you much business, even if I do visit your website on a daily basis, usually with a clear liquid dripping down my chin.

 

Anyway. I visited a show in Sarf Essix today, and a gentleman was flogging cheapo models in a bargain bin. Here they are.

 

 

 

The NSX is a Del Prado blister-pak type offering, obvs some kind of partwork from somewhere at sometime. The other three are Cararama items. I've always like these, though some of them are definitely toys rather than models.

 

And I'm pleased to have filled the Puma-shaped gap in my collection.

[Mr Lobster]

That NSX has been on a few partwork series. We had them about three years back from a Japanese series - they came with a pretty large magazine which was very nice indeed if entirely written in Japanese. Nice pics in it though

[stuboy]

wandered round local boot fair...

[RoadworkUK]

You git. Some of those are rather nice.

 

Not all of them, though.....

 

EDIT: Changed my mind, the pimped 'dub is actually outstanding.
