Let's get started (though best to be aware it may be a bit stop-start, getting all these up - as I've a feeling MrsDC wants to get some stuff done today and won't be best pleased if I'm just tippy-tapping away at my phone every time she looks up). First up : today's Tat Box haul, courtesy of Alan's Emporium. All available, at 33p each. And looking more organized... Matchbox IMSA Mustang, and Glo-Racers 'Dark Rider', aka Porsche 928 [**PORSCHE CLAIMED!!**] Super GTs - the old MB68 Porsche 910 and MB3 Monteverdi Hai. Both are the earlier Made In England versions, not Far Eastern. (**Monteverdi taken!!**) Super GT version of the MB14 Iso Grifo, augmented by Sharpie (**TAKEN!!**), and Realtoy Subaru Impreza (**ALSO TAKEN!!**) No name Mercedes van masquerading as a 'Mobile Commancentre', whatever that is (**SOLD!!**), and a matching Chevrolet Caprice - both of which are wearing Royal Canadian Mounted Police insignia, for some reason. Plastic no-name Ford Focus 3-dr that probably came with a Tesco Transporter, and a Hot Wheels bosuku manga insane cruiser thingummy. (**Cheapo Ford and bosuku mayhem car both taken!!**) Corgi Whizzwheels Volvo 245DL and de-Starskyfied Ford Torino. (**Torino now taken!!**) More to follow, from the Tat Archive! andrew e, AndyW201, Burnside and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-name tat here, for the most part - plus some Corgi waifs 'n' strays.

(**BOTH TAKEN!!**) No-name Ford Econoline, and No-name Jaguar XJS that's comedically short No-name (but believed Welly) No. 98610 Jeep CJ-5; and quite a nice No-name (Welly) No.98381 Maxda RX7 FC - never seen another FC in this scale.

Husky Buick Electra Police Car; Husky Jaguar Mk 10 chromeplate - both missing bumper bits, inevitably. Husky Bedford TK Skip Truck - one complete, one[ spares or repairs (OMG BOGOF); Husky VW Type 2 elevator van minus rubber band but otherwise very good [**VEE-DUB OFF TO A NEW HOME!!**] Husky Ford F350 Wrecker Truck without boom; Corgi Juniors Whizzwheels Ford F350 Camper without its camper body (hours of fun playing compare and contrast with both castings here) Corgi Juniors Whizzwheels Willys Jeep, with driver AWOL; Juniors Whizzwheels Ferrari 512S; Juniors Whizzwheels GP Beach Buggy. Corgi Juniors Whizzwheels Mercedes C111; Juniors Mercedes Benz 500SL (Made in GB) (**Mercs both SOLD!!**) Juniors Citroen Dyane; Juniors Range Rover Police (according to the base) but this Vigilant would have come with the Coastguard playset. (**Coastguard Rangie Sold!!**) Juniors Leyland Terrier Shell Tanker with an interesting fungal culture going on; Juniors Buick Regal police cruiser with rattle-tastic light in the interior. De-Bondified Juniors Lotus Esprit (true - when the Bond franchise was lost, Corgi's submarine Lotus tooling was modified to make this plain road version); Juniors 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Cabrio (Made in Singapore); Mercedes 500SL (Made in China).

Lord Sterling Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Picked another cheap 1.18 car. A Peugeot 207 by Norev. The detail in it is quite nice. Not exactly immense but perfectly acceptable. Its the same colour as my own 407 which I guess is some sort of weird bonus on its own way. I picked this up cheap as it has a missing wing mirror (I glued one back on) half an aerial which doesn't look out of place on a modern car and missing tail light cover. Not easy to find but to make one shouldn't be a massive task, just need to find red-tinted plastic cover sheeting, cut tail light and glue on.

Spottedlaurel Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Week off work, finally getting round to some model building. Looking to finish this Cedric off by the end of the month, as I've had no completions yet in October. Quite a bit of work went into this front end, realised I'd missed some chromework when I looked at this photo (like it needs some more). Quick trial-fit: Just this lot to put together now: After a quick Countdown break, back to the shed I go.....

outlaw118 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Looking at getting an orange Focus ST for bro for Christmas; Minichamps 1:43's are changing hands at £50 upwards, but theres a Burago and a Welly on ebay, both £25, Burago is 1:43 Welly is 1:34. I know nothing about Welly models, are they any good? Yhe Burago one appears to have generic RIMZ on which is a bit shit...

Must say that £25 for either of those seems a bit on the OUCH side.... (Edit: looking at the Welly vendor's other listings he looks to be a proper chancer) Deffo the Welly for the win, though. I've been pleasantly surprised by Welly stuff; they cover some amusingly obscure subjects – the Mustang SVO among things. And 1:34 is a far more impressive (if a bit odd) scale than 1:43 Might be worth a risk getting one from Poland for half the price? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WELLY-FORD-FOCUS-ST-ORANGE-1-34-DIE-CAST-METAL-MODEL-NEW-IN-BOX/174278735631?hash=item2893d2770f:g:jWYAAOSwJzpcZFbb outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw118 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Nice one - had put the "UK only" filter on it, to weed out the Chinese stuff that probably won't be here before Easter. Order placed with Mr Poland, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
