Shite in Miniature II

[155V6]

I've got one of those Peugeot 206CC's,it's got a removable hardtop.

I've also got a few Majorette DS Ambulances,this one was quite beaten up so got raced 

[Datsuncog]

Finally got some glass shelves into the shallow drawers to display some of the Oxford/Cararama models.

 

 

 

Slightly rough n' ready, but only for my own amusement. Glass frontage still to go on, then wall mounting. Planning on doing the same again for a few of the 1/43 models.

Matchbox 1971 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

A bit like the old Mercury station wagon they did in the early 70’s that had 2 dogs in the back.

It's been a while since I inflicted my model purchases on you so here are a few recent ones. I do have some more stuff of the commercial vehicle variety that I'll also inflict on you as and when I can be arsed to sort them out. Some excellent stuff from your good selves of late too, love those Olds Vista wagons, wouldn't mind having a real one as I have a penchant for wagons having owned a few British and American types. And nothing to do with models but as I live not that far from the BBMF at Coningsby I've just had either a Spitfire or Hurricane fly low and fast over my house. A fine sound on a grey December day, cheered me up no end.

I repainted the Majorette Porsche 924 from the previous page,

Think it looks quite good in silver.

Great job JYD, every month I learn about a Majorette casting that I was previously unaware of. Definitely my 'flava' atm, model car manufacturer-wise.

[junkyarddog]

Yes,Majorette have some really interesting stuff,still looking for lots more

[Felly Magic]

I like that Matchboxshite CA ice cream van. I have incoming Vanguardshite in the shape of a Mini Clubfoot 1275 Git

[Junkman]

Where do you guys get those Matchboxes from?

[sierraman]

Poundland?

[junkyarddog]

Mine were a lucky find at a car boot sale.

That green Vista Cruiser is from 2009.

[59Impala]

As promised/threatened these are my latest commercial type vehicle purchases plus a bargain BHM Rolls Silver Wraith cabriolet bought from that there Ebay for 30 quid, quite a saving as I think they are normally around eighty. The Dinky Bedford OB's are Code 3 conversions that have been beautifully done by someone with skills, he even makes the boxes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[mercrocker]

That Pickford's Beddy is brilliant....

[Junkman]

Poundland?

I've been to each one in GMA and they have 3 different sci fi combine harvesters if they have many.

This arrived today, Vanguards Mini 1275GT. No mirrors are fitted to it strangely, so nicked one from a DeAgostini Lada Niva. Made it look a bit better. Another to add to my collection of 1970s BLshite

 

 

 

 

 

[Split_Pin]

Id love if they did an estate version. In green like my mums first car

[junkyarddog]

 

Matchbox Mazda 2.

Not a very exciting model of a not very exciting car,

But it has very nice detail,I like it a lot.

This dates from 2009.

[junkyarddog]

 

Another couple of battered Majorette models due a makeover.

Hopefully they will turn out decent enough.

[Junkman]

Some* of you may* have noticed* that I posted relatively little here in the past few months.

The reality is that this is in stark contrast to the actual influx of new models.

For some odd reason I simply didn't manage to keep track of it all.

Would you like me to put aside all the important* stuff life currently throws at me and do a comprehensive update?

[Split_Pin]

I certainly would!

[eddyramrod]

Who did you just ask that question of?  Of course we would!

[mercrocker]

Would here too

[Felly Magic]

Daft question there JM. Wish I wasn't so brassic atm as spotted some 1/43 scale Bedford TK artics on evilbay, one in Meccano Dinky Toys livery, look really nice

[junkyarddog]

The Datsun got a nice new coat of flashy orange.

The Aldi went for resale silver

 

 

 

[eddyramrod]

Just like the real thing!

[junkyarddog]

Another recent Majorette find.

Bit tatty but quite nice.

 

[Split_Pin]

Ive got the 6 wheel skip truck and also a GMC Brigadier water tanker. Audi and Datsun look fantastic. I always wanted that 90 when I was a kid.

trevor isnt suposed to have a mirror as he's an early 1275gt- whereas if you see the white or vermillion ones they are later with a mirror
