Shite in Miniature II

[sierraman]

shit the bed, that's a score, you are guaranteed to make a nice 'cup of tea' out of that sale

As the lord giveth, he taketh. The Focus has its MOT tues

[sierraman]

Also purchased 50p. Majorette XM, real minter as well. Then blew a whole quid on the Plaxton Paramount.

[Split_Pin]

Went to my first Swapmeet in years today and found this Spot On Austin 1800. Unusual for fifteen quid to still have the fragile front panel largely intact. I didn't know these were made in Northern Ireland which is what really sold it to me.

[Felly Magic]

Weren't Spot On a daft scale, like 1/42.5? Close enough to 1/43 though. Would love a few in my collection, such as the Tonibell CA, but they are flippin expensive

[Split_Pin]

Yeah all resolutely 1/42 Scale regardless of subject, meaning that some of the trucks were quite large compared to Dinkys and Corgis. I need to get this side by side with my Dinky 1800 and also compare engine detail. The Dinky is certainly more robust.

shitter was full !

 

 

[MarvinsMom]

perfect for the  miniature trip to Wally World.....

Or tryin' to eat corn on the cob WITH NO FUCKIN' TEETH!

Some catch:

 

 

[Junkman]

Model Car World in Germany had a 50% off sale on over the BHW.

So I whacked in an order.

 

Got me these to go eventually with my restored parking garage:

 

 

 

 

This parking garage:

 

[Junkman]

Got a few Partworks.

 

 

[Junkman]

Some 1/24 chod as well.
 
These I only got to see Eddyramrod drool:
 

 

 

 

 

"I don't believe it. It's that shitbox Dodge again!"

[Junkman]

And I furthered my 1/24 Hachette Auto Vintage collection:

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Junkman]

Salvat in Spain now also tested a 1/24 series.

A few of these were released in and around Barcelona.

 

 

 

Not only am I proud like a crate full of monkeys that I managed to get one, it could well be the Black Mauritius of 1/24 scale diecasts.

[eddyramrod]

Some 1/24 chod as well.

Mission accomplished, JM.

[Junkman]

Oof!

[Felly Magic]

And I second that oof with a fwoar lummy

[Felly Magic]

1/64 scale shite that works with electrickery (witchcraft) purcasedness from morriways for £15.99, seen on Arsemazon for £36.99! Genuine MicroScalextric, cats love it

 

[rml2345]

 

More Communist diecast picked up at a bus rally on Sunday. What these Eastern Bloc diecasts lack in quiality is more than made up in character.

[UmBongo]

I treated myself to this last week. Unusually for eBay it wasn't Buy It Now at £24.99 so I got it for a tenner.

 

The dude wrapped it in brown paper with no carton.

 

Feck knows how it made it to me intact.

 

[Split_Pin]

I had that ZIL but it fell apart with Zinc Pest. Bloody ace thing though. Replaced with with a later model which is OK so far.

[Vantman]

Could somebody identify this loft find tinplate please,there are no makers names or numbers anywhere at all. Thanks.

 

 

 

[mercrocker]

I have some of these.   I always understood them to be Hong Kong made as I got a set once with a sheet tin garage that had Made in HK printed on it.   The cars all had the same number plate  - a thing my 5 year old brain found incongruous - that and the fact that it signified a Portsmouth registration! 

[Felly Magic]

From Carlo of this parish. Escort had collapsed suspension. Spring wire had popped out, now fixed

It's from this sort of tinplate toy:

 

 

they were first made in Germany, then in Hong Kong and nowadays have a resurrection

being made in various former East Block countries.

Just got this in the post, Praline Opel Manta. I have never come across any Pralines that weren't 1:87 plastic so this Diecast 1/43 is a new one on me. It also says Busch on a sticky label on the end of the box, again, I thought they only manufactured 1:87 plastic cars. The metal aerial is a nice touch. I am really pleased with this one.

[Felly Magic]

Nice.

[Felly Magic]

I think I must be a closet Morris man, 5 Marinas now in multiple flavours. Note the re appearance of Autoshite Motors, need a mini Billy Cavcraft and Barbara Cavland LOL

 

 

 

 

 

[Ghosty]

Matchbox Isuzu painted to match the Mrs's old Frontera sport;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know a more detailed Siku Frontera Sport exists in the same scale, might be worth you looking for one. They're a lovely model, comes in factory red too. Only catch is they're Opel badged.

 

Matchbix did a non-Sport Frontera too (latte '90s/early 2000s?).
