Shite in Miniature II

[chancer]

Added these to the collection. Not seen them before, possibly a new case released? 

Edit....I is idiot. Top 2 are 2023 models. Entertainer must have found an old case

[bunglebus]

The Focus wasn't especially common, awful graphics though

Not seen that colour Civic previously 

[flat4alfa]

Must be a trick of the camera as the Civic looks like it’s been smacked up the back and concertinered

[sierraman]

Finally got round to doing an MG 1100, undecided on paint, might go with the silver that colour trials used to come in.

I quite like the fact they follow the illustrations - Which are usually really impressively accurate - You can tell Hergè was big into vehicles!

Competition time!

Ahem...

Snowy the dag (Milou) is already there on the back seat!

[sierraman]

Used the dremel for removing paint from the chassis. Real game changer one of those for these jobs. 

[bunglebus]

Yes I know but it's funny

Pretty sure it would need to be the Countryman estate body

New bits in Smyths

[Lord Sterling]

Popped to Cora yesterday with Father_Sterling. Unfortunately in the cars section it looks like they are doing some tidying up.  All the 1/18s have been cleared along with a load of other toys. So it look like I got there in time, this is all I found;

You can just see the shelf next door completely cleared, this was all the way up the rest of the isle.

£5 5 packs in Tesco

And an answer about those weird batches of Hot Wheels in Poundstretcher - Mattel send them like that

[bunglebus]

Just been in One Beyond, didn't know those little devils at Mattel made two different Land Rover roof racks

[bunglebus]

Righty then - new stuffs. Popped into Smyths this morning and bought this

Better pics of the Majorette split and boat, I had loads of these in various styles a while back but got bored and sold them all

Remember I bought the 10 pack cos I liked the Mini, New Beetle etc? Found a present in the work van...

There is the canoe one as well in earlier colourway

[bunglebus]

Postal deliveries include a nice Majorette CX

Along with tarmac yer drive spec sliding door Transit

Here's the Body Swappers Mean Dream Racer I found at Santa Pod last weekend 

Now, I've never seen a Skoda based beach buggy, but Guisval made one and I finally tracked one down

Clean late Corgi Range Rover 

The mrs bought this out of a charity shop in the week

Bought a job lot of Matchbox, late issue Corvette isn't bad

Tidy Alfa

Chinese Chav

And another CX

SD1...

But my main target was this Super GT Capri - they don't seem to surface very often and I didn't have this colour 

[neil72]

Car Boot box this morning, came with a Dinky Thunderbird 2 as well

[bunglebus]

I never noticed this before - regular wheels and Superfast #25 Cortinas have different rear bumpers. 

I was going to mod the Superfast base as I'm putting different wheels on - but I prefer the wraparound bumpers...

Odd, Cav should be a Matchbox. I've got one, I always remarked that I never liked the too-short rear doors, it's proportions aren't great.

It's a Matchbox but a made in China rather than Macau

My other Chinese one is a darker red than usual

Scale 1/24 a bit big for the Summer house, but I did show her anyway!

However I have bought these for her birthday next week

not had a chance to give them a wash yet

I have a few plastic Norevs myself so I really hopes she likes this set

I think she should

Nice haul! Dibs on the Dinky Cresta and Corgi Mini Cooper haha!

We also went to a boot fair (Ford Airfield) where we got some bargains, but I didn't pick up much tat and nothing as good as that lot

The most interesting was the ERTL GTO, I'm hoping Dinky hollow tyres will fit

the Solido BMW 2002 which has obviously done one too  many burn outs

mostly just for parts though

afterwards we went into Arundel where we got the slowest ever cup of coffee leaving us not much time to look around the junk shops. I didn't buy anything. but saw plenty I liked!

[sierraman]

Done.

A fee things there I quite like. Especially the Vanguards Jag and Bentley Arnage T.

[bunglebus]

Rockets MK1 Escort would be my choice
