BL Bloke Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I didn't know Hot Wheels did a Series III Land Rover so when I saw one I had to buy it, along with a couple more cars as it was 3 for the price of 2. DSCF0918 by timothy jones, on Flickr I also went to Tesco's this morning in search of new Matchbox, no individual cars but I did get a pack of nine which included the Merc estate, Lotus Europa and a Golf Country Syncro among others.

vulgalour Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Been tinkering with the Tissier and the Westminster today. Westminster has had all the Westminster bits removed and I'm now building up the Morris elements. The Westminster is being turning into a replica of @320touring's Morris Oxford, a task that I thought originally would be a simple repaint until I looked at just how different the Austin and Morris variants of this car actually are. Bonnet, grille, side trim, and even rear wings are different. Going to be a fair amount of filing to get it where I want.

bunglebus Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Cool can you put it aside for me please? Picked up a couple of nice old Lesney VWs locally - this one seems to have had a repair where the tab holds the body on 20191006_164017 by RS, on Flickr Its Beetle counterpart 20191006_164103 by RS, on Flickr 20191006_164232 by RS, on Flickr Also found a guy locally who seems to be a serious toy hoarder, got another Piston Popper off him 20191006_170558 by RS, on Flickr Which poses me a slight problem, as the one I was going to use as an engine donor is broken, and I hadn't realised 20191006_170545 by RS, on Flickr Hopefully I can repair it somehow Burnside, Sudsprint and Split_Pin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffcortinacentre Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Finally got chance to get some more pics of the Mk5 saloon as requested unfortunately no batteries so couldn't show with the lights working (both front & rear).

sheffcortinacentre Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Paya appears to be the brand. Of the 4 two are boxed & this is the best one, I've seen one with a different hand set too.

Datsuncog Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The BMC Pininfarina looks like it's missing an A-post and the roof's borked, plus appears to have been treated to one of my quality* repaints before being packed in salt. The Rolamatics Ford has typically shonky axles and is missing its rear cover (and the lion). I used to feel a lot more precious about Lesneys until I heard that in their heyday the London factory was knocking out six million models a week. Now, I don't know if that's entirely accurate but they did make a frankly mindboggling amount of tiny toys which were shipped all round the world. There's still plenty of good 'uns left without worrying about modifying or salvaging scrap ones like these.

bunglebus Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 If you do, can I pinch the Rollamatic axles off the truck? Cos the one on my Piston Popper is broken, and I want to keep the pistons moving once I fit the engine into the Vantastic. Talking of which; There are more casting differences than I expected, engine hole is the same size but different mounts 20191007_173429 by Rich Secker, on Flickr Body is different behind the grille 20191007_173359 by Rich Secker, on Flickr Harder to see but the headlight/grille area are different widths 20191007_173806 by Rich Secker, on Flickr Even the windscreens are different - I had assumed it was Mustang up to the B pillars but the apertures are different sizes 20191007_174053 by Rich Secker, on Flickr Looks like I'll be using the Vantastic base (the body has cutouts in the sills for the side pipes anyway) and modifying it to take the Rollamatic axles flat4alfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
155V6 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Will be good if you can get it to work.They got their money's worth out of that basic casting,there's the original Mustang,the Vantastic,the Piston Popper,& the IMSA Mustang with the wide arches.

Sudsprint Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The E Type FHC seems really hard to get right. And at 1:43 I don't think Corgi and Jaguar quite captured the 2+2 versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
