RoadworkUK Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 A large volume of cat food has arrived from Carrickfergus...OR HAS IT? Unfortunately, the subterfuge of the stealth packaging will only last as long as it takes for Nicola to remember that we don't have a cat. Cheers, Tim; I'm heading off for a long weekend, and I very much look forward to the cat food on my return.

quicksilver Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I've made a few additions to my miniature collection of shiters' cars what I have seen in real life. First up, this was a cheapo plastic Merc by Kentoys that I've painted up and given the identity of @Talbot's car. Then I remembered I had a red Jag XF so a change of identity made @AnthonyG's car (yes, I know it's a modern but it's a frequent visitor to the FOD) I had the right colours in stock for @Retr0naut's Maxi and Princess and the Oxford models are dead easy to dismantle so a couple of repaints were called for. I also have a Sprite caravan and Oxford Diecast's Invacar is due next year so I'll hopefully soon be able to recreate this happy scene from the FOD bunglebus, Split_Pin, Sudsprint and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyG Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Who makes the XF? Might get one for the mantlepiece! Ideally a Minichamps or similar would be ideal, the one you have looks like Matchbox size (1:75)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this one: https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/collections/jaguar/products/jaguar-xj-saloon-carnelian-red-76xj003 1/76 scale so a bit smaller than Matchbox. They also do the same thing in N gauge but that's really tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 The Transit looks like a knock off of the early Dinky casting and the S&D Pakamatic looks like a direct copy of the Lesney King Size one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is every kind of awesome! It's even the correct age (pre-facelift), has roughly the right kind of wheels and just about the correct options on it.

Do not forget this. Fascinating range there from Lucky - I reckon ALL of them have been, ahem, 'inspired' by the products of Corgi, Dinky and Matchbox - even the Studebaker Wagonaire TV car is a direct lift from Husky. With the possible exception of the PC Cresta, and the 4dr Mk2 Cortina... I guess they don't specify which manufacturers they've taken the 'exact specification' from, hey? Still, lovely big models, for sure. I'd be thrilled to pick up any of them. 1 hour ago, bunglebus said: Most of them are £££ on eBay now - except the one I bought at the boot sale that took months to sell That applies to all mini tat doesn't it??

Datsuncog Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Seemed to be some new stuff in my local Tesco's toy aisle and all, though fairly well raided already... Anyone looking a Porsche Rally? G-Wagen and Mk2 Prius Rideshare were also appealing, but I didn't bring 'em home with me. Hot Wheels a bit depleted too... Not much there to tickle my pickle, really. Multipacks were decent, though: A rare pack where I actually wanted all the contents - even though I already have the Beetle and Dodge Monaco in different paint. Beige Wagoneer was nice, also the Golf 4x4. I did grab a couple, though - even if my reasons for doing so remain unclear... These Renagades are everywhere round here, usually in eye-popping shades - I think there are attractive Motability deals being pushed by a local dealer. Seems like a nicely done tiny version, though. An opening boot or something would be nice, but I think only the pricey Road Trip range comes with stuff like that? No-one can accuse Mattel of not offering a wide range of vehicles in their lineup - this '33 Plymouth is unexpected, but really nicely done. If I had to be picky, the headlights are a bit rubbish as they're moulded into the wings, while the bumpers are quite heavy - I'm thinking about the Ford Model A from the early 1980s as a comparator, but then there's probably been a lot of safety legislation in the past 40 years to outlaw those lovely little chromed headlights that could be so easily chewed off... Another Healey! First one of these I've seen on the shelves; interesting that Mattel have different catalogue numbers for the different colours. It really is a lovely casting; I think the old English white with red interior just edges it over the BRG and black. And lastly, for the latest haul... Oh! It's the Powell Sport! Quite a bizarre choice of vehicle to model, and one I was blissfully ignorant of until a few short weeks ago. The track is somewhat narrow, but overall it's a nice rendering with good detail to the casting. So I haven't opened them yet, but I probably will... the trouble with Matchbox is that I find them enormously appealing, but I never know what to do with them after I've got them home!
