RedSparrow Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just come across this on ebay - it appears there was another magazine series in the eastern bloc that had motors from other countries. Lets hope they surface in Poundland etc. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Freepost-Lot-of-7-1-43-IXO-Ist-Volga-Wolga-Latvia-Oltcit-Lada-2107-FSO-Polonez-/291108527454 This bloke has some crazy ideas about their value though. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partridge Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Very much depends on what they are really. Minichamps Ford RS stuff carries a massive scene tax as ever but have a look at ebay to get an idea what they are worth.I'm hanging on to my boxed Le Mans Green Mexico...

tooSavvy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I haz dropped parking meter money on this...... £3.99 @ TK Maxx. Is it something we don't see much of?... I have never ever seen a KG model. ...or are these just 'cheep knokkoffs' from 'en chine'. I like the povvo blue... sort of what you expect on a beetle . It has 'pull back - let it go' drive and says 'WELLY' on the plastic chassis. ... just sort of looked so forlorn on the rummage shelf.... waiting for some kid to WELLY it into skirting boards and rive the doors off. SAVED!! TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Karmann Ghia models are fairly rare, Welly do that one and a 1/18 though. The Welly catalogue is massive and has allsorts of stuff in that would turn the shiter on - Kia's from Pride to Ceed, Hyundais and all sorts of other tat but the Welly import and distribution setup in Europe is complicated to say the least so much of it doesn't come over to this side of the world. Pity. I reckon we could sell fuckloads of it tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I can haz Welly shite, too! Generally not bad at all, but has one of my pet hates - headlight lenses attached by means of a stalk in the centre: So I did one of Junkman's phamous Phrench headlight modifications with this. Step 1 - dismantle the model. The headlight reflectors and lenses are heat riveted to the bodyshell: So step 2 is to carefully scrape away the excess plastic, and the headlights fall right out: Step 3 is to cut off the stalks from the lenses, and polish them: There will always be a mark left, but it is hardly visible once everything is back together. Step 4 is to simulate yellow headlamps with small beads and clothes pins, like so: The glue used is Tamiya Clear, and it will be invisible once dried, so no worries about the excessive amount used and the bubbling.Tamiya Clear is also used to glue the lenses to the reflectors, and the reflectors back to the car in step 5: Voila! I'm going to pimp the interior a bit in the distant future.I have a second one stacked away for a more involved modification - a Pick Up. eddyramrod, scruff, Mr Lobster and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Eddy what make is that Polonez militia car?I've just had a look underneath, and there's no maker's name. It was obviously from the local magazine series though, so I would guess Ixo/Altaya. And yes, I'm hoping the same set appears in Poundland too! (I was in there today; no joy.)

If its IXO / Altaya it will generally have screws which you need a special screwdriver with a triangular head to undo. If not then it probably isn't.

eddyramrod Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It came in a blister rather than a case and plinth. I've just found the blister, which says, in English surprisingly: Importer: De Agostini Polska Sp. Manufactured and distributed by Premium & Collectibles Co. Ltd...... Made in P. R. Ch. (which I take to be People's Republic of China, even I can work that out!) Edit: it's a sad man who keeps his plastic blister packs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think the departure of 2 small Peugeot models justifies the purchase of a much bigger one! SRSLY tempted by the 1/18 504 model at that price, which is at a level you just don't see any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Drop me a PM if you want one, shiters discount is available and ready The Welly stuff is pretty damn good now, we sell a lot of it and I've been really impressed with it. Just wish we could get some more of the range but it'll happen in time I dare say. eddyramrod and Partridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksilver Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Oxford Diecast are continuing their cavalcade of BL shite with this Mini 1275GT. It may not look as good as some of the others in this thread but remember it's only 4cm long so the photo is much bigger than actual size. eddyramrod, Lord Sterling, Junkman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I think that's sodding impressive regardless of size. I'd love to see Oxford do a Dolomite of some sort. Hopefully available in Russet Brown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully available in Russet Brown...Me too, a nice pov spec 1300 in Vermillion like the one I owned would go perfectly with my Fiesta. Who knows, if they've seen my photo of the Fiesta they've probably seen the Dolomite too so it might well happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
