Shite in Miniature II

[Spottedlaurel]

Nice one, they didn't hang about. Good to see that it has a RHD dash - the box art shows the British Gas livery with what seems to be LHD....

[Pillock]

Didn't the Esci ones come with both dashboards?

[sheffcortinacentre]

Yes, best get one of these so I can get started on a beavertail.

[Felly Magic]

Warning, shite incoming! Terry and Arthur are down the lot today, inspecting the new arrivals.

Doesn't 6 Cyl have a real green Oldclit?

When I was a little kid I wanted to be miniaturised and live in the Corgi Toys display in our town's toyshop.   I still get that feeling looking at Felly's diorama - Awesome place!

[Mr A Lawrence]

Interesting video.

 

[Felly Magic]

Been watching a lot of these Greenlight/M2/Hotwheels collector vids lately, that canadian bloke with the dodgy mullet has a right old stash, daft bugger got gredit out to buy some uber rare ones, he's a serious junkie for diecast to do that

[Spottedlaurel]

When I was a youngster I got the Superfast Escort RS2000, and it had the windows installed back-to-front. Back then it disappointed me, but perhaps now the combined effect of it being an error and OSF means I should pinch it back from my son’s toybox, sell it and retire on the proceeds?....

 

On the subject of which, the built Escort Mk2 collection went for £102. For seven kits that actually sounds quite reasonable.

[Felly Magic]

Arthur seems to have cornered the market on old Ladas it seems  

 

[oldcars]

I so want a Samara model, where did you get them from?

[Felly Magic]

Ebay, the 3 door came from a seller in the Midlands, just search Lada in Toys & Games. The burgundy hatch & saloon came from the Ukraine, as well as all 3 Rivas. Eagerly awaiting some 1970s era Ladas which are also DeAgostini partworks

That's £6 worth of eBay BNIB 1:18 Pug by Welly. Probably at least 18x moere reliable than the real thing

[Mr Laurence]

That's a £6 model?! You could've convinced me that it was real...

[eddyramrod]

I'm finding it hard to believe there's such a thing as a £6 model left in any scale above 1/76....

[Split_Pin]

Bargain!

[Pillock]

I like the realistic way they've modelled it with a catastrophic roof failure.

£48 + £15 pistage

[RoadworkUK]

Well, £6 and £3.50 P&P. Thing is, I have absolutely no interest in the 206CC, but this particular example fell within my preset "1/18, ending soonest, less than £15" search parameters. I took a flyer wondering "how bad can it be?"

 

Answer is, it can't.

[Split_Pin]

I often buy scale models of cars I'm not really interested in because I love pretty much anything in miniature.

[steveo3002]

costco has a stack of 1/18 in store for about £12 , few old muscle cars , and other cool ones , alright for the money

[RoadworkUK]

Yeah, Costco has the new Ford GT in stock, meant to be a good model. But one I need even less than a 206cc. And CBA to go to Ipswich. There be Witches.

Guilty as charged, but I decided to finally make a cut and at least get rid of my Mercedesessereses.

That may be of interest....Will a Fersale Fred be forthcoming?

[Junkman]

Sadly I guess they will go on eBay, since I quite selfishly want serious money for them.

Check for example 1/18 Revell 450 SEL prices on eBay to see what I mean.

[mercrocker]

No harm in asking serious money.    Worth a linky when you're done listing, though!

[rml2345]

Just checked what those Revell 450SELs are fetching.

You could have a W140 for that...

Unlike the real thing.

Looking at this, I've just realised our 206CC hasn't moved since it was MOT'd in August, so much for my daughters and their " We'll all use it as a fun car, please keep it !"

I'm going to buy a Welly one , place it outside on the window ledge, they'll think it's parked down the side of the house, then sell the full size one to someone desperate for a convertible for the winter......

[Spottedlaurel]

Got my eBay purchase Italeri Transit in the post today. It seems to nicely capture the feel of the real thing, just a shame it's not a pre-facelift Mk2, or even a Mk1. Now just to decide how to (eventually) build it.....

[Split_Pin]

That's going to be lovely built. I'd love one of those but I've got 2 projects waiting patiently at the moment already!

And your point is?
