I must admit if I could do weathering and rust it'd open up some interesting options. My backstory for this one is that the main bodyshell has been repaired and the owner has chucked some secondhand panels onto it and got it running and driveable before it goes into the paintshop to be finished off. I was thinking the same thing, so went off to find an earlier Rotsun photo from before they did all the wild turbo mods and door graphics Then found this. I did not know.

And really, if you have a few of something you can always justify a transporter for display purposes, right? Wow I remember having both as a lad. The cab on mine was white. The yellow XJ was a good companion to the various shades of greens on the CR versions. Amishtat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 This Budgie Beetle has come out well, not sure if I should replicate the original detail (orange headlights and red tail lights, number plate light and VW badge) or just leave it alone. The colour is nothing like the cap on the paint but I really like it, has a bit of a flip to it warch, Amishtat, Remspoor and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 The Dino purchase posted up this morning reminded me of a boot sale purchase from a few weeks back. Found it out in the minefield of stuff already accumulated over the top of it... Auto-Pilen MONZA GT in 1:43. What's one of those then? The car itself is a new one on me - at least, I'm vague about it. The model is my sole Auto-Pilen example too. Apparently it's meant to be modelled on this, the 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza GT : Missing its screen... steering wheel... tyres... and there is some sort of headlamp shroud and beak broken away (which I didn't realise while fondling it at the sale in front of the owner who said he had it when a boy). Was taken by it though (or maybe just the bling) and doubt I'll see another this side of a fiver. Probably. andrew e, Sudsprint, bunglebus and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 This one's not done but as the sun's shining I though I'd take some pics. This one has really tried my patience, colour is nice but it's got loads of orange peel. Also just realised I forgot to tap the posts for screws so I'll have to try and do that without damaging it Spottedlaurel, andrew e, Split_Pin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Fair enough on the Mongoose ( @bunglebus), might have to make do with making a copy. Looking forward to the colour scheme ? I also was less than impressed with Halfords‘ idea of colour-matching cap labelling... Dug these out, from a couple ‘recent’ job lot purchases. Forgot I had them too... the past few months have been a bit of a blur. Anyhow, Corgi Jaguar MKX and Dinky Rolls Royce MPW FHC I think I’ll have a clear-out soon, starting with the small ones as my eyes are getting worse now. Think I’ll Concentrate on Dinky, SpotOn, then Corgi and other oddballs - and even then just bigger stuff 1:40 and larger that I don’t drop so easily ? (Because clumsy oaf) Sooner or later I’ll have to stop playing toys and get on with the real ones, as they won’t fix themselves (Wife might be a bit more cheered-up then). Saying that, my job security has hit the floor so the lot might have to be sold off (including the Wife).

Datsuncog Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Nyarrr... not a lot to tickle my fancy at today's tat market, I'm afraid... Doesn't look like anything's shifted from a fortnight ago, so mebbe he wasn't here last week either. Tenner quoted on the older stuff; £20 for the articulated Corgi Majors. Probably a coupla quid on the Lesney stuff; GMC Refrigerated Truck has its tailgate, which always seems to be missing - ditto the Field Car's hood. Some very dusty and paint-damaged Corgi/EFE buses were also in attendance: There were more, but a giffer swooped down and scooped four of them while I was setting up this shot. He handed over a twenty pound note, so I guess these are a fiver a pop. Big blue 1/43 modern coach has no windows, and is a plastic with diecast base job by 'Old Cars' of Italy - if that means anything to anyone? No diecast visible on the charity stall this week, and nothing of much interest elsewhere...
