flat4alfa Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Yes, saw a camper body recently but didn’t buy it as couldn’t remember what it should be off. You have repaired that memory cell ruined after all the recent drinky excess ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nearest One Below stores to me are Slough & Maidenhead,not a million miles away but a bit far to go on the off chance that there might be a few toy cars there ? I used to have a delivery job all over the South and would go to 4 or 5 different supermarkets every day.I used to find most of the Hot Wheels I wanted without even having to look in my own time ?

danthecapriman Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Got a few more 1/43’s recently. Sticking with the Soviet theme! First is a GAZ Volga M24 from IST. I’m impressed with this model tbh, really nice looking and good finish. Next one is one of my favourite cars, GAZ 13 Chaika. Looks a really nice model too, still in its blister pack - should I open it though!? Still yet to arrive are an SSM models ZIL 131 tractor unit and a ZIL 157 flatbed, both military trucks. And a GAZ 12 limo and GAZ 14 Chaika. I’m particularly looking forward to the 14, it looks a really nice model from the pics. I need to look at getting a few suitable display cabinets for these, and my 1/43 American cars to go in. Trouble is though some of the 1/43 trucks are a bit big to go in some of the cabinets! 155V6, Sudsprint, Split_Pin and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvinsMom Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 these are my latest editions to the diecast tat collection. i've added another Toronado, this one is the fixed wheels edition, and has flawless paintwork. it is not without issues mind, as the steering wheel is loos inside the cabin, and it lost 3 of ots headlamps. but its still a fine looking machine, especially as it was only a few quid! and these 3 were unplanned purchases from a local toy fair, they were all in the "everything for a couple of quid" shite boxes, and they didn't deserve that fate! so i became the unplanned owners of a matchbox AEC Merryweather fire engine, a Husky Jaguar mark X and a Lone Star 000 push along EMD F7. the F7 complements this Union Pacific one, and interestingly its a different casting, the UP locomotive has a full compliment of roof fans and a different nose to the silver one. the little Jag mark X, Corgi been a clever bunch have somehow managed to add full suspension to it, not something i really remember seeing before on anything quite as small as that. i also added a Plymouth Sports Suburban station wagon too, to complement the Dodge Royal Sedan. its got various marks in the paintwork especially to the fenders and fins, which may have been retouched at some point. its not anywhere as clean as the Dodge, bit then it was again only a couple of quid, the Dodge wasn't! and then, a visit to our local old diecast toy emporium added another pair of matchbox toys, both proper early ones too, a london bus and a foden cement mixer. here is the original london bus next to one of the later AEC Routemaster, showing just how much even matchbox cars increased in size over the years. and all these new additions mean that more trains have been evicted from another cabinet. 155V6, junkyarddog, RayMK and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hey hey... apologies for the radio silence of late; just, y'know... stuff. Wasn't up in Belfast on Friday, hence a conspicuous lack of tat - but all thanks to Eddy for stepping into the breach! Coupla recent arrivals here... some DeAgostini partworks of Russki tin I hadn't encountered before. GAZ-24-02 Volga estate - and it's kinda hard to see from the crappy pics, but it has the three rows of seats present and correct. ZIL 41047 - the oligarch's choice. Detailing is adequate rather than sumptuous, but I'm pretty pleased with these. It may even inspire me to finally re-jig my display cases for a cavalcade of Eastern Bloc shite...

MarvinsMom Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 yes i think you are correct, that the mark X jag is a husky, as its got a silver base! corgi junior/husky they were all made by mettoy..... i have wondered bout buying some new jewelled lights for the Olds, Steve Flowers lists them on his website too, but been more than a bit kak handed, and the jewels been propper small means that i can probably live with it just having 1 jewel left, and the mechanism still works fine too.
