morrisoxide Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I picked a few Victors up a while back with missing tailgates. So being the nerd I am I made a template. Took the template to work and drew it out in CAD then plotted it out on Polycarb.There are two different tailgates one with a flat top and one with a tab. I couldn't get the tailgate to open because the thin plastic hinges snapped off so I glued it in.Excuse my sausage fingers and crud pictures. Not the best but better than paying three times as much as the car on a part. Remspoor, vulgalour, RayMK and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Here's why I haven't been posting much this week.

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I was also picking over those nice Premium Majorettes in Home Bargains today. I got the Raptor: Aldi had a bunch of Hotwheels, but they had already been raided. However there was a Tesla Roadster so I was able to complete the range.

willswitchengage Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Serious model boat action at Bushy Park last weekend during the weirdly nice weather. There was even a model breakwater! Highlight was the cannon-water pistols of the pirate ship squirting the ducks. Mwuhahahaha. MarvinsMom, egg, Burnside and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Not really a person for boxes, but I thought I'd try a Norev reproduction effort from Germany, and I'm quite pleased with it really. Christine, Frogchod, RayMK and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in bus shite, but I've finally managed to acquire one of my holy grails. It's a white metal kit of a Jonckheere Jubilee P90 by Pirate Models. In theory I could have bought a 'new' one by handing over my life savings to the current owner of the brand in exchange for something that's been in his shed for 20 years or more - I'm not kidding, the last ad I saw listed this kit at something like £65 and that was a few years ago so it could be pushing £100 now! Then I'd probably have to pay someone to build it for me as I'm not good with white metal at the best of times and this has a reputation as a difficult kit, so that was a non-starter. I'd been looking for years but never ever seen a second-hand one come up for sale. Then I found a dealer on eBay selling a huge collection including many rare kits and scratch-builds. I get the impression he usually deals in diecasts and didn't really know what he had as this one wasn't very well described but I recognised instantly what it was. Whoever built it did a really nice job and the best bit is that it only cost me just over £30 so I'm well chuffed.

I've never seen one with a straight front end, even MIB. Somewhere there must be one that's been stored in the dark at a constant 10c in a vacuum...

egg Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Not me on the CX. postage to the UK is usually £1-£3 cheaper from Germany, so I find .de preferable to .fr (although number of models is far fewer...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvinsMom Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 we've been to the toyfair at Catterick today, and even managed a buyage too. we maybe shouldn't have done so, but what is the point of working and the like, and not been able to enjoy the results from my labours. first off this, another cabinate to hang off the wall somewhere. well, we are thinking of here, above the sewing machine in our back room.the plan for ths? well some will be diecast cars and toy trains, and we also have some diecast bikes which are kerry's so the plan will be, we think, to share it out with some cars, some trains and some bikes too. will it work? only time will tell..... i also bought these two, first off is a Dinky Triumph Herald. i have been after one of these for ome time, and while this one isn't perfect, its still very nice. second one, is a repainted Triang Spot-on Austin A40. again, its not totally perfect, but its very nice, and displays well. plus its another model that i have been looking for a while.here they are on the back of the Bedford TK, though they have since been moved into the main display case with the other "classic" diecast toys.
