(Wouldn't expect doors or glazing at that money, but that's ok) The beige 'n' green Corgi Dodge truck looks not bad either, though not so much my thing.

Hopefully, at some point - though there's still no boot sales operating yet in NI, and no markets either. The big outdoor market up at Nutts Corner (where Market Blokey/Nostalgic Collectables used to run a Sunday stall) reckons it may reopen at the end of August, but St George's remains closed for the foreseeable...

Amishtat Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 TK isn't terrible, it's missing a tyre and the driver's gonna be chilly over 5mph but I'm quite surprised the mirrors have survived.

Amishtat Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The Dinky Land Rover is missing three wheels if you count the one that's not in the cab anymore but is otherwise fairly intact, no cracks to the glazing and both jewelled headlights intact.

Amishtat Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Corgi Dodge is probably the best of the lot though. One incongruous once-white tyre replaced and a clean and it'd display nicely.

Amishtat Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The ambulance only seems to be missing its blue light cover and stretcher if it had one but is easily the dirtiest diecast I've ever picked up. Tyre missing on the Eldorado and some interesting camber going on but intact glazing at least. Fucked front bumper though.

Ooh, pleased with that! Wheels and tyres can be replaced ok; I'm currently trawling through my motley collection to make a list of bits needed (might be ready by the time Steve Flowers reopens again). Looks like a worthwhile jaunt, though - the Corgi Daf City Car looks great, and those Dinky Cadillacs are lovely. Ten minutes with some soapy water and a toothbrush should see those looking heaps better (that Superkings Scammell wrecker of mine was very satisfying to scrub up). Corgi Chevy ambulance is pretty good too (mine was missing its doors), and I've noticed it's hard to find a Merc W115 that's not FUBAR'd in some way - cracked A-pillars and busted glazing seem endemic... Agree that the Dodge Kew looks to be the pick of the bunch - for £2, that's a bargain. D-Series street sweeper and Lincoln Continental limo look decent and all. Verdict: top job!!!

bunglebus Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The ex-Organ Grinder is done, and not tea bag all things considered. I can see faults but it looks pretty good sat on the shelf driver looks pretty pleased with his revamped ride. Bullit was not my intention but the colour just worked with the green windows and gold engine (exhaust and scoop repainted, block original). Even the wheels cleaned up quite well Sudsprint, eddyramrod, Datsuncog and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
