Shite in Miniature II

[Datsuncog]

Folks,

Just to advise that a roffle of the very smol kind is kicking off over on the Open Forum, with all monies going to the DaveNumbers Fundrazr.

Mutliple prizes are on offer, involving both plastic and diecast minishite of varying scales, donated by Egg and myself. A top bonus ball prize of a biggish box containing Vanguards, Corgi Classics, Eligor and more is to be won. Tickets are a trifling £2 each.

Initial sales are strong and your participation would be an honour.

Popped to boot fair and picked up jag 2 quid and porsche for a quid...

Good to have found Le Dandy with auxiliary lamps present - they fall off for fun.

That's what the guy I bought it from said.

The roof was slightly skew-whiff but some careful manipulation soon had it in a passable condition.

 

Paid €10.00 for it,not cheap but never found one for sale,so had to have it.

Do you plan to pop some new tyres on it?

Do you plan to pop some new tyres on it?

Sometime,yes.

Maybe the LHM fluid,needs topping up

EDIT: ALL TICKETS NOW SOLD - BIG THANKS TO ALL!!!

Folks, just to advise that the £2 tickets for the diecast roffle, with all proceeds going towards the DaveNumbers fundraiser, have been selling out like the proverbial hot cakes with only twelve NINE **SIX**  {{{{ONE}}}} numbers now remaining - so do be quick if you want to be in with a shout to win this lot:

Plus many other fantastically wonderful and shite-worthy prizes to be won in a unique landmark multi-winner roffle where the holders of all balls drawn will win a prize of their choice posted right to their very door.

With fifty-eight tickets sold in a mere twelve hours, we could well be looking at a Wednesday draw... so what are we waiting for? Hurry hurry hurry!

Bums Im in hospital at the mo, so missed the roffle. Anyhow, got a nice code 3 coming from a mate, my 2.8 capri was a donor.

This battered and bruised childhood Corgi set which was packaged up by M&S is available for cost of postage if anyone here wants before I charidee/ebay...

 

 

 

[junkyarddog]

More small shite!

 

Husky Ferrari

 

 

 

Matchbox Citroen,

 

 

[Split_Pin]

Matchbox are consistently excellent in their subjects both of past and present cars.

[Felly Magic]

I think Matchbox have the edge over Hot Wheels these days

[Amishtat]

I'll just pass by the model shop, I thought to myself yesterday. No need to actually buy anything after all.. yeah, right.

Dinky Plymouth Plaza and yes, I will be changing the tyres.

[mercrocker]

That's a nice find!   

 

EKO arrived today from Egg..... 

 

 

  

 

 

EKO one is on the left, noticeably cruder than my Lego version but nice to have them both now.

[Junkman]

Where the bloody hell do you guys get those Matchboxes?

[junkyarddog]

Where the bloody hell do you guys get those Matchboxes?

No trick to it really.

 

Keep looking and you find stuff.

 

I spotted that Citroen in a bag of fishing reels at a car boot sale!

 

The guy had other diecast stuff displayed and got the Citroen for free,after I had bought a larger casting from him.

Which I will take a pic of later.

Folks,

Not wishing to clutter things up, but owing to the phenomenal response to the MiniShite Grand Prize Roffle for the DaveNumbers Memorial Fundrazr, I'm aware a fair few regulars on here didn't get a crack at entering/donating.

Although there's not much that can be done when the roffleboard is filled, there is however a special bonus Friday Night Mystery Prize Sub-Roffle now available for those who missed out for whatever reason. The Mystery Prize is a rather nice 1/43 model complete with acrylic display case, and will be posted out to you, still incognito, for the winner to reveal at their leisure. Overseas and ROI shiters are most welcome to participate! If you win, I'll make sure the prize gets to you.

Entry is a suggested donation of £2 (or whatever you fancy) via PayPal/BACS/Cash or whatever, all going towards the Dave21478 Fund. There's no limit to the number of folk who can participate (within reason, obvs), but we're keeping it to only one entry per shiter!

That cortina is begging to be restored.

[junkyarddog]

That cortina is begging to be restored.

Maybe sometime.

I have a couple of decent ones,I quite like this in its present derelict condition.

Despite that the casting is in good shape.

Tailgate is missing too.

[Amishtat]

In the interests of domestic harmony my latest purchases were sent to my work address, although I wasn't expecting them quite yet.

Cheers bramz7!
