sierraman Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I don't know the guy in the market who kites on house clearance stuff I often get stuff from has suddenly put his prices up. Probably got wind I've made £50 in last month on flogging stuff on eBay I've bought off his stall. Serves him right for his poor business acumen 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I knew Dennis and did quite a few deals with him. So some of the stuff in the vid is ex-JM.However, I can assure you, that his is not the biggest collection I know and therefore not the biggest in the world.It's a shame to break it up, though.

MarvinsMom Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 recent aquistions, all of these are lesney matchbox from i'm guesing the 1960's and 70's. certainly i don't remember seeing these on sale, but i would only be little at the time. anyone for milk? a commer milk float a bedford CA Mr Whippy release those chimes.... ice cream anyone? and finally a Daimler Ferret scout cat, sadly missing its driver and all together group picture again these were got off of ebay or at swapmeets recently, and been a tight wad they were all only a £1 or £2 to buy. i was thinking that they will get used on the trainset as/and when it gets built. one thing i've noticed is that most exhibition layouts all use the same road vehicles. in fact go to seveal shows and you will be able to recognise the same vehicles on different layouts. so what better way to get around that, by using some vintage diecast vehicles from yesteryear.

mercrocker Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Sadly, I am old enough to remember being little when these were on sale! Good plan for the rail layouts, much better to see those than all that Oxford stuff. junkyarddog, Junkman and MarvinsMom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I have both of the milk floats, they're lovely little models. Of course the Bedford can be easily repainted, should you wish, to recreate the one that chased James Bond... ...as played by David Niven, Casino Royale, 1967 Junkman, junkyarddog, Banger Kenny and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Cheers, it was a toyfair scrapbox find, needed new glazing which I made from a sheet of clear acetate, and I dug out my book 'The Mr Whippy Story', and noticed the body style was that of the Whippy Commer, so yoinked the Mr Whippy logo off the interwebs, played about in Photoshop and Corel to make up the graphics, and used Humbrol paints. Another I'd wished I'd kept. Just wished Oxford would now do a CF ice cream van in 1/43. We can but hope Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Been having a mess about with my Commie Rickman Rangerski, converted to right hand drive using a Cararama mk1 Scrote dash, and changed the wheels for beefier looking Weller style rims, also from a Mk1 Scrote, this time an Ixo rally car, so in a way I've used old Scrotes as donor cars, just like the real thing LOL, took me about 10 mins to do, and looks 100 times better, just needs some UK numberplates and bosh!

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Junkman very kindly gave me this lovely Fujimi Mini kit. Cooper racing version? I think you mean "mundane 1990s special edition version". It's a marvellous kit - despite that worrying "racing" word on the box, all the standard bits are here. You get the 1980s/90s steering wheel, the airbag wheel and the catalytic converter. You can even make it an automatic if you like - with the choice of early or late shifter! Here it is next to the Revell version: Banger Kenny, Junkman, RayMK and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Nice job on the Minis. Revell looks the better proportioned, around the roof at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
