I saw one of the big chonky estate versions at the boot sale on Saturday. The seller also had a green saloon the same size that he was telling me was the Harry Potter car 🤔

Found these in B&M. They had the whole range but just bought these two at £3.99 each.

That's a magnifying lamp so my sh!t eyes can see what I'm doing trying to paint tiny details in

Now I look at it - how exactly did one injector stack avoid being chrome plated?

Best two in the set. Not quite sure about Fuchs on a 32 Ford but it seems to work

You speak for yourself, child! I'm much older than that phone. That Lotus Cortina though.... yes please!

😆 I had that phone on wheels!
Thinking about it now though, whose idea was it to put a phone on wheels and call it a toy!? Why!?!

For those adults that still watch cartoons and stuff, there was one on Toy Story I think. The one where they got donated to the play school.

28,111 · April 28

And I'm the same age as your dad, Dan, we've established that...

Toy Story is 30 years old this year. Even Cars is 19!

Toy Story is 30! Shit! Where does time go. I remember watching it when it first came out. Shrek was another of those early computer animated films and I remember that too.

28,111 · April 28

Shrek is the same age as my Omega: 24. It's probably a good idea not to think of this stuff, isn't it!

Back on topic: nothing to report model-wise over the last couple of weeks. Hoping to get some work done in the coming week or so.

Found this set the other week at last.

Goes nicely with these.

This resulted in ordering these.

I may have a thing for 3dr sierra Cosworths.

Aren’t they supposed to be quite collectible now? Same as those porcelain pigs from NatWest or whatever?

Here are a few other things I spotted over the weekend

A couple of elderly castings in these 5 packs

I still think maybe I should have picked it up - as for the pigs, they're worth naff all - for the common ones such as mum dad and the baby. However the ones you only got once you'd saved significant amounts of money are quite valuable. My partner was recently given a Cousin Westley by her uncle, they're not all all common. Rarest are the metal plated ones, never seen those at a boot sale but the regular ones are part of our "boot sale bingo" game where we score points for things such as commemorative items from Royal weddings and coronations, animal print clothing, Katie Price biographies, "racist rabbit" (Bing), and the aforementioned Fisher Price telephone

No it's ok (but thanks very much for the offer). I've bought too much stuff lately already !

Some new arrivals.

That's very good for a boxed Coles Crane. I alsonhave a nice unboxed one and they're quite a large and heavy model, very nice indeed.
