Shite in Miniature II

[junkyarddog]

Morocco taxi.

Or at least my take of one.

Love it! Reminds me of the 1/36 scale rally/safari type one that Corgi released.

[sheffcortinacentre]

Yes ours has none at all at the moment if you give me your PayPal I'll sort Inc p&p after Sunday.

[Datsuncog]

^^^ No bother - how many Eleanor Mustangs are you looking for? Will ping you the PayPal over by PM!

Guys, they say our plastic rubbish is contaminating the oceans and killing the turtles.

Well, neither do I make plastic, nor do I throw rubbish into the sea.

In true GGG® Save The Planet© fashion, I buy it and put it into my dungeon, where it belongs.

 

 

[Junkman]

There has also been some 1/24 scale receivage again.

 

 

 

 

In several aspects, this thing is even better than the Minichamps 1/18 effort.

[Felly Magic]

That would look spiffing in RHD, and I bet it would sell like hot cakes. I've gone back to using Flickr, and been busy uploading, here are some shots of diecast chod from there

Came across this at a car show a couple of years ago, never seen a complete set before. Had to buy it because I work for these shysters

[Amishtat]

This may be a silly question, but who made this? It was in the boot of my 164 when I bought it. Nicely proportioned but there's no maker's name or anything on the underside

All plastic apart from the axles and hubcaps, and it's around 1/18 or so in scale at a rough guess

[simcajet]

That is a 164 made by Stahlberg, Finland.

They made promo's of mostly Volvo's and Saab, but there is a Golf, KE70 Corolla and a Mercedes W123T as well.

Look at www.fintoys.com for a comprehensive listing.

Nice cars!

I've got two similar PF/RM sets to this, though I seem to recall at least one of them has a Land Rover Defender in it and one has a drawbar Ford Cargo.

Stahlbergs fetch good money on the 2nd hand market, not seen a 164 before though, scale is around 1/20. Seriously nice

[Amishtat]

Thanks, I've been wondering about it for a couple of years before it occurred to me to ask on here. Might dig out and post some more model shite when I get home from the pub if I remember

[Felly Magic]

Please do, nice to see another name in this thread

[Split_Pin]

Thats an excellent gift from whoever you bought your 164 from. As said Stahlbergs are worth decent coin. I have a 1/25 Polistil version.

Seems to be a bit big for this thread?

There must be umpteen variations of these sets. I thought mine was exactly the same as this but it isn't. It has the same trucks but two Transits (one PF and one RM), a Land Rover and a smaller scale truck.

Moar to follow when I stop listening to the Secret Sisters and drag my lazy arse out to the shed

[Datsuncog]

I found a Stahlberg Volvo 144 at a car boot sale in Brighton station carpark once, back in the early 2000s, at a stall of assorted tat. Pale blue, bit dusty but looked like it'd clean up alright.

 

It had a sticker saying £7 on it. Putting on my most charming demeanour, I asked the vendor if he'd be willing to accept £6.40 for it, as that was (genuinely) all the money I had on me.

 

The mardy bastard absolutely went off on one, roaring at me in front of all the other browsers that if he wanted fucking six pound forty for it, then he would have fucking written six pound forty on it, but it doesn't say six pound forty, does it, it says fucking seven pounds, because that's what he wants for it.

 

I scuttled off like a shamed pinemarten, my face no doubt roaring red from humiliation.

 

So that's why I don't have a Stahlberg Volvo in my collection, and I doubt now I ever will... brilliant models, though!

[Amishtat]

Thanks, it's nice to know what it is. The details are lovely, all the badges and trim are spot on. Anyway, I went rummaging in the shed whilst refreshed

[Amishtat]

The Volvo was from the local Tesco (Highwoods Colchester) on the day it opened, 1987 if I remember right. I may not

[Amishtat]

And I'm genuinely ashamed of the state some of the boxes are in

[Amishtat]

Let's all ignore how filthy the full-size job is..

Realistic plastics

[Amishtat]

Incidentally and with apologies for a thread derail, I found loads of old photos of mine & other people's shite from about twenty years ago. Would anybody be interested in a thread of some badly taken photos of photos?

[eddyramrod]

Probably!  Can you scan them in?

[Amishtat]

Haven't got a computer so it's unlikely. Poorly reproduced photos it'll have to be I'm afraid

[Datsuncog]

Further to earlier posts, is there much demand from folks on here for these Greenlight/Lootbox Mustangs? Nearby Poundland seems to have got another load in.

I'll be doing a fair bit of minishite packing and posting this weekend... can nip back and see if there's any left, should anyone fancy one?

 

Called in over lunchtime to my nearest Poundland and there are still 42 of these on the shelves, should anyone want one/two/three dozen...

 

SheffCortinaCentre - you have a PM...

Yeah, Felly some nice bits there and very nicely displayed and photographed - particularly like those kerbside shots outside Arfur's old place.
