Shite in Miniature II

[bunglebus]

Taking of Hong Kong rubbish, here's a fairly awful friction motored Golf I bought online, made by FE apparently. Bonnet feels like it would snap off if you left it outside in a stiff breeze

Boot sale bits now, today's weirdo is a Tonka Forklift. In pretty good condition too

I bought one £expensive die cast today, which the Mrs has refunded me for and tucked away for Chr*stm*s. I'm not even allowed to look it it but even at 50% of my budget for today, it was an absolute bargain. You'll just have to wait until December to see it, like me. Same seller had this Joal Iso, in fact I'm pretty sure I bought some similar ones off him years ago. He always tries to kiss my partner which is rather weird, but it gets me diecast discount...

Moving swiftly on, unbranded caravan is a Kees I believe 

Solido McLaren. Rather a tasty set of wheels on this but I don't think I'm heartless enough to take it apart

Matchbox trailers, I've got plenty but they're always useful. Orange one is an unusual colour anyway

TOF Range Rover. Strangely pleasing and disappointing at once, probably not staying 

Guy was not budging on his price for this Corgi Carrera, it's a lot nicer than my tatty one anyway

Strange how these things come along all at once. Better example of the Zakspeed Capri

Not very good example of the Corgi Transit pickup...

Is this what @danthecapriman was describing about the difference in the glass? This one is light blue tinted with a weird mark down it that seems to be moulded in 

KITT Trans-Am is spoiled by the lack of aerofoil

Darker green AMC with non-opening doors

Check out the aero mods on this US Mail Truck

RS2000 with kid paint

Thankfully Junior was thoughtful enough to use water soluble poster paint

Tidy Prairie 

Cloud always feels a bit cheap, one I feel would benefit from a paint and detail job

I said I wasn't buying any more Tyrole Malones, but this one's kinda interesting. Someone forgot the stripes on one side

Road Blasters Datsun

Registered for UK road use too

Talking of Matchbox Datsuns, Glow Racers Sizzlin' ZX

You know the drill by now

This was cool, Chevy Van in a livery I'd not seen previously 

And a Blazer in a new colour

ERTL Cannonball Run Ford Van is a nice casting, shame about the bent axle

No name plastic Corvette key car 

This is a copy of a copy, I believe it's an Imperial who copied Impulse who copied Matchbox! One way or another it's definitely a "Dr. Clinger's Wall Racer"

MC Toys MK1 Golf

Kidco Lock-Up (unlocked)

A couple of Hot Wheels Super Chromes

It was only while taking this picture, I realised the Majorette E30 is a 4 door

That Transit is the normal pickup glazing moulding. It’s normally black so you can’t see the moulded peg thing inside which holds it at the right height inside. Obviously this one being semi transparent blue you can see it.

On the wrecker version the back of the cab glazing is different and leaves a slim gap on the pickup. You can’t see it in these pics.

The way it’s held up against the roof is slightly different too.

@Spottedlaurel is obviously a warlock, somehow magicking two Matchbox 5 packs from darkest Norfolk to Essex in under 16 hours, posted 11 am yesterday and got here at 16:40!

I think these deserve to be opened, black Fiesta needs closer examination if nothing else

Noooo!  That's so nice it needs the tall rear wing recreating.

I've a thing about those McLarens. If you've been to Goodwood, Silverstone etc and heard one belting past, you'd know why 😊
