Yeah, I have Outlook - it takes the laptop between five and seven minutes to open an email, and then the same to open an attachment within said email. I really ought to just get a new laptop, I think... 38 minutes ago, barrett said: Hey, is that pasty as big as it looks? It was pretty big, as it happens! There's a bit of lens distortion going on, so it's not quite the same size as a laptop keyboard, but it certainly knocks Ginsters into the proverbial cocked hat. Some good eatin' there; it always used to be my usual Friday lunchtime go-to, but thinking back I haven't had one since last February. Nice to see Jeffers open again; a fair few eateries in the city centre don't look like they'll be pulling up the shutters anymore, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 That Siku 914 also looks interesting! All this talk of Maxwell Toys spurring off from that very boxy bus led me to remember that I have one: Originally, it would've been placed upon those hideous little wheels the bus has, despite being 1/43 scale and the bus looking to be more 1/64. However, a previous owner put some Spot On wheels on, so likely a case of devaluing both this model and the donor. Looks the part, though. Note also that I think this was my very first photo I took of a diecast with a suitable backdrop, way back in January 2019! For anyone who wants to see another endearing Maxwell abomination, check out the 'Mercedes 1100'....

155V6 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 An update on this lot I got a few weeks back Oldsmobile has had a couple of wheels courtesy of @eddyramrod,& a couple of tyres.It could really do with taking apart,as the suspension is slightly broken,& the pop-up headlights don't 🙁 Dinky Daimler 2.5 has had tyres,which look too small as they're the same size as Mini ones Tyres for the Mini Tyres for the Lancia,can anyone recommend a good chrome pen so I can touch in the bumpers? Tyre for the MGB Wheels & tyres for the Mini Marcos.It was actually cheaper to buy another complete car,so now I have another one without wheels😂 Tyres for the Fiat The Lotus has has new tyres & a driver,the white seat is from another one I found,but I have a black seat & a screen to go in it.I bought the parts for this from Steve Flowers,& they came in just over a week eddyramrod, Jon, Amishtat and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Picked up this Gama 1302 a few months back: Perhaps not Maxwell levels of ill-executed wheels but a close contender, at least. Quite endearing though, it certainly dates it to a period release when the 1302 was current. The doors open but aren't too hideously bulky, which is a bonus. It also came boxed, complete with Gama coin still inserted in the base. Certainly seems to lend itself well to period backdrops, anyway. Even the gawky front end makes me smile, rather like the badly proportioned Sikus of a similar period. It's also in bloody good nick, so was a nice score for £5. Or 20 times the price of @155V6's Siku Kafer. WillCarter, Burnside, Shite Ron and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillCarter Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Anyone for a Saturday evening sale? Got some odds and sods that need to go, thought I'd give you lot first dibs. It's a right mix of stuff, but there might be something for you in there. All prices are minus P&P but I'm happy to package multiple purchases together. Maisto Ford Explorer (1/24) - £6 Burago Ferrari 250 LM (1/24) - £6 Maisto Smart Car (1/18) - £15 Pretty sure this came with extra panels at some point, but they're nowhere to be found now. If they do subsequently turn up, I'll post them free of charge. Service Station (1/25) - £10 Solido Mini Cooper S (1/18) - £15 These are pretty sought after but this one is in somewhat barn find condition, so grab yourself a bargain project. James Bond Jaguar XKR (1/18) - £15 Box is rough, but model is in good shape. Corgi Classics Porsche 356 - £6 Unknown Brand MGB - £3 Corgi Fords - £3 each. Corgi Rolls Royce - £2 eddyramrod, AndyW201, Lord Sterling and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
