Shite in Miniature II

[Felly Magic]

One I've been hunting for a long while now, simply because I used to own N236DYG, which was almost identical in spec to this (mine had a sunroof, but the same alloys!) It came unboxed from China for a sensible price, and arrived in under a week. It has a tiny paint flaw on the underside of the bumper, which cannot be seen in all fairness, plus a light mark on the roof. As usual from Abrex, detail is brilliant, and it goes well with my Abrex Favorit 136L, Abrex Felicia van (which I also used to have in 12 inch to the foot scale), and my Altaya Estelle 120L

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here are the Felicias together. Happy days

LOVE that Xantia. Need to find one to complement my 1/18 XM and Peugeot 605.

 

No you don't, you need an Audi A8 and a Merc 350SE

[Partridge]

I have a model of a similar Merc...

 

Sterling, it's a resin model by Otto. Are you on Facebook? If so ask to join my group and look though our pictures, there's tons of it on there.

Isn't that a w123?  Similar to the Ronin SE only in having the star on top of the grille... but thanks for the FB nod, I'll be over there shortly (as if I didn't have enough groups to fail to keep track of!)

Yes it is! It's by Revell and came all the way from Belguim...I thought it was better than an "Ostend" tea towel.

Apologies for barging on in, here's a small selection of my miniature shite. Mostly Italian...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My particular favourites are these:

 

 

 

 

And this is just thrown in the cabinet for good measure. I have so much more hoarded away in boxes it just isn't funny.

Here is a small selection of mine

Jag XJ220 my mother gave me this for my 23rd or 24th birthday i think.

 

 

 

 

 

For the next birthday she gave me a Mclaren F1

 

 

 

 

Mercedes Benz SSK  i have know idea were this came from

 

 

Around 5 years ago the wife gave me this for Christmas.

 

 

 

 

I have had an XJS itch for years

 

 

From Dugong of this very parish

 

Christmas gone i got this

 

When i asked why she told me that i am going on an 4x4 weekend.

Your Miura looks petrified. 

[Partridge]

Dvee8, that MK2 is really nice

 

 

Your Miura looks petrified. 

They all do that, Sir.

[Partridge]

Some more of my shite in detail.

 

 

 

 

I LOVE this. (thank Lobby)

 

modern shite

 

 

Xantia shite

 

[DVee8]

I have in the loft a Mk2 Rs2000, i think there is a red and a black Xr3i and a MK2 grandad

[stilo_active]

That Renner 19 and the XM are bloody lovely.

Finds of the day, in a box of assorted cars in a record shop in Bolton:

 

1990ish 5 GT Turbo, and late '70s/'80s Ferrari 308, both Hot Wheels, and a Corgi Volvo 760.

There was also a Matchbox XR4i that was perfect but missing a wheel, and a Volvo 480, but the paint was buggered.

 

EDIT: The 308 is actually only from 1993/4. It was a pack-in car with a gas station playset, a quick Google has revealed.

[155V6]

Nice finds,where was the R5 made?

[Partridge]

That Renner 19 and the XM are bloody lovely.

Thank you

[Ghosty]

Nice finds,where was the R5 made?

 

Thanks - the bottom says © 1990, made in Malaysia.

[155V6]

Thanks - the bottom says © 1990, made in Malaysia.

Only asking as some HotWheels were made in France & are a bit more collectable.Nice model though

[Felly Magic]

The Bburago mk2 Jag is a Maisto casting from the mid 1990's and is a bit of a gem to be honest. Sold loads of em when they first came out.

[Split_Pin]

Hey FM you have a grand collection of Skuds there!

[Junkman]

...and a Merc 350SE

 

It's a 450 SEL 6.9, no less, and who doesn't have one?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[eddyramrod]

Who doesn't have one?  I don't.  There isn't room in my 1/18 collection for any more non-American cars (I currently have two: one I was given recently, the other a mk1 Capri in the same red as the Capri I had in Cyprus   )

[Split_Pin]

That Merc 450 is stunning. Next time I have cash I expect to be OVER IT.

 

I'll make do with my Matchbox Superfast one for now though!

 

Also that Xantia is just crazy. Just looking at it is giving me a head rush. Its so realistic!

[Felly Magic]

Been bored as of late due to health issues, so been pissing around with my Vanguards shite, Here's a modded Festa or two/ The XR2 looks decidedly shite

 

[DVee8]

If you ever want to move that XR2 on

[Felly Magic]

It's a sort of hybrid XR2/L thingy now. Wished I had some scale RS 4 spokes as it would look a bit Supersport like

[Felly Magic]

Vanguards mk1 Tranny, a casting now long forgotten...

 

 

Pimped Mk1 Grandad

[Felly Magic]

One for Cavette now....Mk2 CD Cav by Vanguards, one I've had a few years now.

 

.

[Partridge]

Isn't that Cav on Opel steelies now?

[Felly Magic]

Yup it is indeedy, forum playing up atm so can't post images. Arsecrisps

[Felly Magic]

It's back on original rims now, but here it was on Gama Opel Ascona wheels
