Shite in Miniature II

[Junkman]

That Solido Fiver is delightful.

Actually it's a Norev tool.

[Jon]

Every day's a school day on this thread! Interesting that loads of different companies used licensed castings from other manufacturers, much like platform sharing in full size car markets. 

[Junkman]

I has builted it.

 

 

 

 

Scale is accurate:

Plastic 104 ending shortly, one wheel trim missing (Norev)

[Junkman]

Shit, I missed it.

[egg]

no bids, so should be re-listed.

I have one these in a bit of a state but in red that could donate the missing wheel trim, am tempted myself as it been relisted !

I've gon and bought not 1, but 1 MBX Dinkyshite Sherpa Sports coupes, one is blue with Webasto and a boggo 60s GT, and the other un is a Terracotta/rust coloured later V8 sans Webasto, one will be available to purchase for £10 including shipping, they are both boxed and the boxes are in fairly decent nick, photos to follow shortly as I've only just got the PC back from being repaired after 2 capacitors shat themselves in style & tripped the main RCD

Been a bit manic with work the past few weeks, hence not being on these fair pages so very much... but, in an effort to change my habits to be more positive, I'd promised myself on Monday that if I could last the week and get all the contracts sorted and all the meetings arranged and all the other old bollocks, then I'd take myself off to the toyshop on Friday lunchtime... kind of a beacon of hope to get me through.

Well, I got pretty much everything done that needed to be done (other than one or two things which can't progress as key peeps are off on holidays), so...

Yup, one from the Hachette campers range - presumably French, because Citroen (I understand the same partwork issued in Italy came with a Fiat version). Can't wait to get it home for a proper unboxing... drool. I do like campers; this one is pretty damn good. And beige.

And while fumbling in one of the dump bins (I can't help myself), I found this...

I'll compare this later on to my actual Russki-made 1/43 Samara.

Week = win.

[Felly Magic]

I have 2 of those white Samaras, plus in the same series, a burgundy 5 door, silver 4 door saloon, and 2 door cabriolet in green

Some more woeful diecast for sale, as I have made myself flat broke really. My bad. I also have somehow amassed a 1/64 collection in the hundreds...

Burago Metro, sans decals. Looks alright still, ish. Dusty, but they all are. Apart from an odd corner of glass missing it's actually quite tidy, although there is some decal residue. £7 posted.

 

20180721_130038 by Sam Osbon, on Flickr

 

Burago Mercedes 450 SEL. Slightly torn about selling it but I have to thin out my already meagre 1/24 collection. Apparently quite uncommon if eBay is a judge of things. Good condition, minimal chips. Very solid feeling. £15 posted.

 

 

20180721_130051 by Sam Osbon, on Flickr

 

This is a weird one. Either AHC Pilen or Lion Toys, but it's a Vauxhall Astramax and it's RHD. I haven't seen many of these since buying this one years back. £18 posted.

 

20180721_130014 by Sam Osbon, on Flickr

 

Burago BMW CSL. Missing a rear bumper, but minimal chips and decals are good. £12 posted.

 

20180721_125228 by Sam Osbon, on Flickr

 

Gama Opel Ascona. £10 posted.

 

20180721_125234 by Sam Osbon, on Flickr

 

Gama Opel Kadett. £9 posted.

Another Gama Opel Kadett, this time a Caravan. £10 posted.

 

20180721_125321 by Sam Osbon, on Flickr

 

I did want to keep this but I don't really like Fords anymore. £20 posted.

 

20180721_125328 by Sam Osbon, on Flickr

 

I did also want to keep this. Oh well. £25 posted.

 

20180721_125353 by Sam Osbon, on Flickr

 

Another Kadett, but this time Burago. Apparently rare. Good decals, minimal chips. £20 posted.

 

 

 

I will discount for multiple purchases.

[egg]

Eddy R sent me this - very pleased, thanks chap!

 

 

 

[egg]

Also....£4 for these four this morning as my Saturday morning Lesney haul. The RR is a keeper, the others not sure yet. Already have Tate and Lyle - but this has grey wheels which I prefer.

 

 

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Some well-observed shite here

 

The whole model contains worthwhile shite

Some serious attention to detail there, particularly on the buildings.  Even the Citroen van's front wheels are properly canted over on lock. Impressive.

All the Gama kadetts and astramax are £25 all in.

Capri £15.

CX is £20.

[Frogchod]

Proof that FaceAche adverts do work, especially when combined with Pastis.  I had* to have this beauty:

Yep. A Citroen Belphegor or 350 as Citroen called them.

 

Also blagged this Norev DS from Roady (Le Halfords) for a massive 3 euros

[Junkman]

no bids, so should be re-listed.

 

It is indeed: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Norev-Peugeot-104-/232856097869

 

Is this going to be a bidding frenzy, or may I have a go?

Having said that, I also found a listing for a Jimmy Mieusset Chevron B23 in the rare plastic version.

[Split_Pin]

That camper, mercy me its ace! Such a common sight still, albeit in Talbot guise so its great to see a model of one!

[Felly Magic]

As subtle as a sledgehammer there Mr Lobster , I'm just taking photos of very wonky diecasts, aka an Ixo Mk3 Escort & Ford Capri, funny how they can get some cars absolutely bob on, but those 2, bloody hell, they are on a level with Oxford's HA van

[Felly Magic]

Anyhoo, less gasbagging, MOAR PIKCHURZ, starting off with MBX Dinky Sherpa sports, one is Force Nail, either, I'm not too fussed which, for £10 postificated, nice models for something 28 years old, mint n boxificated in VGC boxes

 

Blue un,

 

 

 

Rust coloured one with 'Hyundai Stellar' engine

 

 

 

Now some Ixo uglines, I improved the Escort by putting rear lights from a dead Vanguards XR3 that donated it's dashboard for my Minichamps mk3. This ugly bastard will also be getting the RHD treatment soon

 

 

 

Now an Atlas branded Crapi Injection, box is brilliant, model is AAAAARGH, and it is going to become a Laser when decals arrive, already got a set of RS 4 spoke white metal rims for it, only good thing it has going for it is that it is RHD and has a nicely detailed interior, with patterned seats

 

 

 

Hopefullky later on this week, I should have a red Abrex Skoda Rapid 136 in right hand drive coming

 

If any of you are interested in a Sherpa Sports Coupe, please PM me, thank you muchly ta

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Amishtat]

Not finished but this is as far as I'll get this weekend. Only loosely thrown together for a picture, still needing a final polish and the signs and ariel.

Yes, I know my masking was shit but this is my first attempt at this and I've loved the whole process.

[Felly Magic]

Those Ashtrays/Opels are winking at me but I'm skint as it's bills week this week

[junkyarddog]

That looks really good.

 

Well done.

[Amishtat]

Thank you! Next is this sorry piece of crap.

Can't exactly make it worse..

[Felly Magic]

I think you can get replacement doors for that too

[stuboy]

Aylesford show.. got a funky ford focus for 18 sheckles

[bramz7]

Bunch of stuff on eBay.

If any shiters want to bid and pay a few days after completion that's fine, just let me know. 

[mercrocker]

That Alfa looks bloody realistic, though....
