Volksy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hot wheels did some that revealed damage when hit by another car, IIRC I've at least one, which was a pick up truck, they did a sports car that had a resemblance to a RX7, and a caprice with side damage. I bet not many survive with all their paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Crack ups? Majorette did a range which had a similar premise, I remember having a Peugeot 205 which you loaded with a cap under the bonnet, then launched it into a skirting board/door/relatives foot/medium to large pet and it would deform the body and smoke.

sierraman Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The colorchangers tended to all be in bathroom suite type colours. Pale pink, avocado, pale brown etc. I’ve the hot wheels ones, both the sports car and the police saloon. My favourite were the Matchbox Roadblasters. You still see them from time to time usually minus the plastic armament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I've just found a couple of Matchbox colour changers in the current batch: a FordThunderbird and a Buick NASCAR. Anyone who wants them adding to their box, shout up. Angyl, I can easily throw another Galaxie in your next batch if you want one to work on...

Junkman Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Nürnberg NewsIt's pretty tedious to post this shit here, because this forum either has no, or I don't know of any, mass uploading tewl.Anyway, my reward, people telling me they aren't interested in something I have no influence in, is well worth it. IXO They are releasing some stuff they did as 1:8 scale partworks in form of ready made models and kits.They call it the "Diamant 8" series.

eddyramrod Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Junkman: I'd like to thank your spy for his efforts on our behalf. It's just a shame the makers aren't listening to the customers.

Junkman Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 So far it's been suspiciously underwhelming. As if they hold back deliberately.And we haven't even been in the save the fucking oceans section yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Whoa whoa whoa - there was a whole shelf of Lada Samaras back there somewhere.

mercrocker Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Yeah, thanks JM.....I have little interest in ever buying that kind of stuff (always been a toy, rather than model, collector) but that doesn't stop it being damned interesting to look at.

Split_Pin Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Indeed thank you for sharing JM. KK scale or whatever they are called looks like a very interesting lot there. The rest look like high end money machines, collectors of which are exactly the type I now know to avoid. I must go to the Fair someday.

vulgalour Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Usefully, the Mercury wagon interior fits inside the Cadillac ambulance with a bit of trimming and doesn't look monstrously out of place. Next will be to decide what colour to paint it, I'm considering dark metallic red at the moment. eddyramrod, mercrocker, Junkman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Corgi Interceptor Repaint! and afterwards: This one was a bit more work than usual. When it emerged from the soup it was missing an A-pillar. Several models had been stripped at once, so the pillar was able to slip down the drain un-noticed. No matter, that just means there's nothing to lose! I hunted down a tiny bit of metal and filed it to shape. A little bit of filling, filling and sanding had it looking reasonable... ...and be honest, did you notice it in the 'finished' picture? vulgalour, Jim Bergerac, RayMK and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
