Shite in Miniature II

[bunglebus]

Any interest in any of these before they go off to the boot sale?

Nominal 50p each to get rid of them, plus £3 P+P.

Could I please take the Green and Yellow Mercedes NG Truck, Saab 9000 and what looks like a red FSO Caro?

Yep that's a Siku, Kees and a Welly I think.

I should also mention I've got these three here as requested by various people...

Bit of a quick one today, as I'm celebrating* the Jubilee extra-long weekend with several large buckets of Dulux and a roller... but who wouldn't want to see some more Tomica goodness?

Another taxi - and rather like my weird foray into fire engines last year, although I'd profess to have no particular interest in public hire vehicles, I sold my civilian version of this Nissan Cedric 280E but kept the cab version... go figure.

Box depicts a slightly different version - I'm not sure whether the blue and white livery is a variant of the red and white No.28, or if someone put this back in the wrong box at some stage.

The No.13 cast into the base seems to refer to the standard saloon version in the Tomica catalogue - seems they reused this part of the casting, rather than giving it a unique taxi base.

Base is still nice and shiny, though.

Still very fond of this one.

Thought it was a Matchbox but could be wrong. There's a silver Nova in there, don't know how good your one is?

*yep Corgi just put it in the wrong row

I've got that in plain white as you know and its it's great model. I love the rear lights. Also, big shout out to whomever names it after a town just off the A66 in Cumbria (a lot of contemporary American Cars also got this name for their top trim levels)

I don't think the magnet is on that Corgi but I'll check. @AnnoyingPentiumhas asked for the Nova and the Golf was earmarked for them originally - happy to pass it on if it's no longer wanted?

Aye, happy to pass on both.

Found a boxed Golf in Tesco and I'll look for my Nova instead of buying a replacement, saves me money. 😆

Thanks. Take the Nova by all means as I have exactly the same one, its just the Golf I was hoping for.

I think @eddyramrodwas after it - Matchbox and in nice shape really. Don't know if it's still needed?

Or did you mean the 800? @Dick Longbridge wanted that one

I love those little Tomicas. In another dimension I could see myself seriously collecting them, as the subject matter is just so great and they all seem really well detailed and faithful. I'm sure I have mentioned before but in my whole childhood of buying second-hand cars from jumble sales etc I only ever found one Tomica, which is the S60 Crown. It got a crappy repaint in black, and it's one of only a tiny handful of my childhood models I still have. It's the proper 70s casting, too, but I suspect I could still buy a brand new one as they seem to have rereleased loads of the old castings, like your Cedric. Lovely stuff.

One more gratuitous picture of the RS500 because the sun was out.

Could I go for the Superkings red and yellow dump truck, Corgi cement mixer and blimp, black Buick Regal, yellow field car, green Volvo p1800 if you please? 

Cheers

You got beaten to it on the cement mixer but all the others are there.

The Field Car is a pretty nice example and the P1800 is a Rockets, I was going to restore it but I've already done one so it seemed pointless 

[bunglebus]

Something old...

Matchbox Mustang casting was as rough as a badger's arse but I've long fancied doing one up. Found a nicer pair of stock rear wheels and swapped the fronts with some Hot Wheels slots

[bunglebus]

Something new...

Hot Wheels new Glory Chaser casting is very 50s/60s looking to me, but needed to lose that weird front air dam thing

Really pleased with this one. The seats and headlights are part of the clear plastic screen which is a bit odd, makes it nice to detail though. I almost polished this one but I wanted to paint all the bolts around the windscreen too
