155V6 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I just noticed that the mirrors are missing from the crane,I might take it back ? I was looking for something to lift with it,all I could find was a Transit door which @bunglebus kindly sent me a couple of weeks ago. It was lifted out of the delivery van Then it was loaded into the pickup,to be taken to the body shop,along with the Transit.The body shop is very slow sometimes,so it might be a while until it gets done flat4alfa, andrew e, bunglebus and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is some world class Siku showing up here lately - the bargain ADAC beetle, the excellent catalogue scan from @bunglebus and now this. I might have a small Siku stash of 80’s catalogues and models myself ? Amishtat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to find a shop that I remember from a holiday 20 years ago, from which I bought my 1:18 Triumph Spitfire. I found a place that specialises in jigsaws, though, and I'm wondering if that's the subsequent evolution of the shop I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any MB Dodge Coronet copcars in there? 1959 shape? My local Tesco has restocked; all the orange Golfs you can eat, but no sign of the Dodge.

Dick Longbridge Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 DAFlicious. I owned one of the green trucks when I was a kid and thought it was time to add to the collection. Tickled that they both have the majority of the original cargo on board! Edit: I'm not 100% on the cargo on the green truck. My childhood model was secondhand I guess and never came with any load. I've also got a (recently purchased) light metallic green DAF truck with a plastic portacabin on the back, which has a completely different fixing bracket. Hmmm...

bunglebus Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I have also acquired a commercial - Matchbox Ford D series in Pepsi livery. I don't remember seeing this outside of catalogues before Plus a couple of lovely Matchbox, who keeps their toys this nice? Plus this Hot Wheels, sure Matchbox did a version of this but I don't think I have one anymore Datsuncog, Sudsprint, AndyW201 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew e Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I had the Pepsi (D series?) which infuriatingly I’m sure would only take small cars in the back because of that central pillar! However the hot wheels 205 group B is a new one on me? bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 This... ...has gone up on the correct shelf today, because I completed the details. The correct shelf is the Film & TV shelf (actually one of several). Why? Who on earth had a pale green Hillman Imp? I'll tell you... It was Richard Bradford as McGill, aka Man In A Suitcase. (Cue that excellent music and let's throw some shapes!) I have a feeling I've used a green that's a bit too light, his car may have been a bit darker, but it's the green I used on my Volvo's wheels, which means it's what I had in. And come on, who else do you know who has a model of McGill's Imp? flat4alfa, MarvinsMom, Datsuncog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
