sierraman Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I had a type 3 by matchbox in silver. Never seen another nor is it listed in any catalogues. Guessing it's a preproduction or colour trail. Can't find the fucker now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Schuco did a 1/43 Mk1 Rover 75. It's not nearly as well proportioned as it should be though, the roof is too tall. The Vanguards model is very handsome indeed. I have it in green. I also have a 1/18 facelift 'Roewe' version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vantman Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Last year the widow of my best mate asked if I would help sell his model railway and diecast collection,last week about 50% of it went to auction and realised just under £6500.00!! But the star of the show was this,estimated at £150 to £200,the hammer fell at £460.00! Junkman, mercrocker, hennabm and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Rummaging in one of my many boxes of old models I found one of the crappy plastic Hornby Sierras that at one time were all you could get if you wanted a modern car in 1/76 scale. It was of no use just sitting in the box and no one would want to buy it so this happened. Doesn't look too bad I suppose. andrew e, mercrocker, 155V6 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvinsMom Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 i did a proper shit buyage the other day, while at a toyfair up at Locomotion museum in Shildon. so behold, the 10 bob Saladin Armoured car, and 10 bob DUKW.for the younger viewers, 10 bob is 50p.(bob been a slang term for a shilling, in the old money and worth 5 new pennies) and while the armoured car is i believe missing most of its gun i've never seen a whole one.... both are original Lesney Matchbox, and while been a funny scale and not all that detailled these have a charm all of their own. the armoured car will get at some point a coat of olive drab green paint, while the DUKW will be left as it is, for now. not only that i got this off of the bay of fleas, for a massive 99p. its a Husky Commer walk through van.not a brand i remember ut agian i like it, though when i got it the van was as rough as a badgers arse..... with very little green paint left on it.so as i had some yellow in a Humbrol tin, its got given a fresh coat of paint.the wee red doors actually slide on, in the manner of all the great vans of yester year, and there is even a chap driving it!these are a make that i am going to keep more of a look out for in future.

Split_Pin Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Liking the Husky Commer, must look out for that one. I had a Dutch EFSI example years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Husky were fore-runners to Corgi Junior, made by Mettoy/Playcraft in the Matchbox size for, originally, Woolworths. They were blister packed and had "chromed" plastic bases, quite fragile. They did progress to diecast base (my Commer Walk-Thru is on one) and many of the castings ended up as Corgi Juniors. Some nice subjects including this Commer and a Forward Control Land Rover, a Mk 3 Zephyr 6 Estate and some lesser modelled Yanks were made...

eddyramrod Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I still have, and several others! I'm old enough to have had these new and yes, I kept them. Most have had at least a few coats of paint by now and some are very battered, but they're part of my childhood.... one of the better bits, lol.

Split_Pin Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 I had a bin lorry and still have a MK10 Jaguar. The Jag is very playworn but intact with Fire livery and a swivel light, it's great! mercrocker and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 They did a "gold plated" Mk10 as well, bit like some of the Corgi Toys. I had one but it flaked really badly and went yellow! Still got the blue one and a Fire Chief with diecast bases. That Thunderbird originally came with a little black tonneau over the rear seats - like the fullsize '61 Sports Roadster. And the Anglia van had little tellies in the back, a ladder and TV aerial. I liked Huskies a lot! MarvinsMom, hennabm and eddyramrod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I was looking for two BX series 2 1986 on, hatch to represent my red GTi and an estate to represent my blue 19RD. Both in 1/43 but this was the best I could find, a series 1 car. Skizzer, Junkman, andrew e and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksilver Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Some of the Husky stuff is near enough 1/76 scale so I have a few too. Like everyone else I have the fire chief Mk10 Jag, the FC Land Rover, a couple of Lancia Flaminias and no fewer than 5 Citroen DS Safaris - I don't know how I ended up with so many Citroens but oddly there are 2 different sizes.
