I've seen Hot Wheels are doing an EF Civic this year if that floats anyone's boat.

Got that one, I do like some 1/64 action, and the JDM stuff seems to be popular right now; picked up some interesting Datsun, Toyotas etc.  But seriously these are now 1 POUND SODDING 50 in Sainsburys!!!! On other hand Poundshop is great for picking up some of the American releases we don't see over here.

I'm bored. Its been raining all day and I've nothing productive to do. Kids are being a PITA so I avoided anything like family responsibility by doing the following -

 

Firstly, a little background. About twenty years ago I owned this -

and loved it very much. After about seven years of daily drivering it, life got in the way, bought a house and all that and got married and subsequently divorced. R5 sat there neglected and ended its days like this -

Sold to an enthusiast as a parts car :(

 

Anyway, last year I ordered a couple of boxes of these -

1/18 R5 Alpine Coupe by Solido.

 

Low and behold, one of them was damaged in transit and arrived broken. Which presented an opportunity and now I have this -

Still need to do the wheels and a few detail bits - badges etc and the bonnet could do with repainting as theres too much paint on it at present but overall I'm pretty pleased with the result. 

 

Further updates in a year or so once I get around to finishing it...

Cor some nice tackle in here, I've not been buying lately, and parted with a few, Partridge has bought a fair few off me, especially French chod. I did pick up just before Chrimbo the Corgi Vanguards Haynes edition Scoobydoo Pretzel for just a fiver from a toyshop in Norwich. I've just done a deal with yon Partridge though, which will see the Ford Grandad become mine. Prior to that, the last diecast I got was my Daewoo Nexia, which is epic in that shite kind of way

Said Pretzel with a few 'friends', an Ixo Ford Escort RS1600, and a Trofeu Celica GT4, plus lurking in the background a DelPrado Saab 900, and a Bburago Fezza Cauliflower
