sierraman Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I quite like the old type Hot Wheels, with the metal bases of humdrum stuff like Cadillac Sevilles and Nissan 200SX. I just wish some of the new offerings would cut out the ‘wild graphics’ and massive wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amishtat Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I've just come across these whilst looking for something entirely different. Built by my dad in the mid sixties, I seem to recall him saying the Consul was an attempt to make it a Farnham estate using balsa wood. I think they're by Revell but only the Consul has a maker's name visible. I haven't seen them for years and had forgotten what nice mouldings these were. eddyramrod, 59Impala, RayMK and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Excellent! I had a Triumph - TR3A I think - and I remember seeing the PA illustrated on the box (shows you how long I've loved the PA!). I agree, I think they were Revell, and about 1/32 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amishtat Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 No, I'll be hanging on to them. I haven't seen any others in this scale ,it's more like 1:43 than the 1:32 that you kind of expect kits of that age to be. I do have some sixties Revell slot cars though if they're of any interest?

bramz7 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I've been trying to buy a lot of Polistil, Mebetoy and Burago stuff lately. I don't really have any sort of interest in modern diecast, and the detail and subject matter they covered all those years ago is quite captivating.

vulgalour Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 An mystery parcel arrived today from Amishtat (thanking you) and I managed to convince my phone to focus on the contents, to a point, so here you go because there's some neat stuff in here. These larger scale diecasts aren't my usual fare, they do seem to keep finding me all the same. I'll likely just rechrome the bits that need it on the Fad-T and restore the truck, the two blue ones are actually in pretty good shape. Whole bunch of fantastic wedgey goodness. Certainly got potential when combined with some of my other spares stock though the Tyre Fryer and Cosmobile (the two on the far left) are in good enough shape to not really need anything at all. Handful of oldies too. The Lincoln (far left) is in surprisingly good shape, especially the glass, and while the Unimog has seen better days it's the only one I have and very restorable. Got quite a few Sno-tracs now too, they all need tracks and paint, might do some sort of fleet thing with them. Spottedlaurel provided these two. The engine from the Red Rider is going into my older blue version of these, Pie Piper? Something like that. The peach looking Marzal is the only one of its type I have, my others are the earlier metallic burgundy colour, originally this one was flourescent pink and it always fades/bleaches out to this weird peach colour. To finish off the Amishtat mystery box are these randoms. The truck has potential, might be doing a wheel swap on that one and make it more hot-roddy. SD1 also has potential, got a few ideas for that one. The VWs can go in the thinking pile for a bit, I like the colour on the buggy, I just haven't the faintest notion of what to do with them otherwise.
