Shite in Miniature II

[UmBongo]

My old man's a dustman,

 

 

He drives a piece of tat...

 

[UmBongo]

I might fall from a tall building, I might roll a brand new car,
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman and my truck's a piece of shite

 

[Partridge]

Dibbs on the Cavalier, Matt79

[garethj]

At least the Fall Guy's truck is the long wheelbase one, most toys and the only 1:24 model kit were short wheelbase versions.

 

I made this one as a 1:32 slot car

[Felly Magic]

Latest additions, bought today at a bus rally, unboxed Schucco Vauxhall Vectra in estate flavour, and a 2 tone green Vanguards Crapi 2.8

 

 

 

[RoadworkUK]

I've been bringing models down from the loft one at a time to perve over.

 

Much to 'twife's consternation I then spent "too long" doing stupid, childish things in the back garden. To whit:

 

 

And:

 

 

Bought this model about twelve years ago when I was at Uni as a souvenir from Gaydon. 15 notes at the time on clearance. "Millennium"  Limited edition of 2000 apparently.

Some further reduction of my big scale shite collection happened.

Unashamed self promotion: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/iwearabowler/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

[Mr Lobster]

Whilst we're on a bit of self promotion, I have a load of spectacular Autoshite in Miniature due tomorrow - all 1:43 partworks but includes Daewoo Cielo / Nexia, Zastava 128, Dacia Supernova, Dacia 2000 (Renault 20), Yugo 45, Wartburg 353 and a few others. 

 

Oh and 1:18 Matra Ranchos. But they are all sold now.

[Split_Pin]

A mate of mine has one of those Otto Ranchos, it actually looks real.

[Skizzer]

One is coming my way courtesy of Mr Lobster.  I can haz much excitement:  if it arrives before I leave for Shitefest I might even bring it with me, although that's probably quite a bad idea.

[Felly Magic]

Typical when I just bought a bloody Zastava 128 from an overseas seller. Keep me posted what you get in Monsieur Lobster, as I has cash monies atm

[Mr Lobster]

Of the new Balkans stuff, everything that is physically in stock is here - https://www.lobsterdiecast.co.uk/product-category/manufacturer/special-purchase-bargains/?orderby=date

 

Theres more due although I'm not sure when at the moment.

[Felly Magic]

I shall be ordering some off you on Sunday, as that's my only day off atm, and I don't get home from work until OMFG o'clock, the joys of a 60 mile each way commute..

 

Deffo want the Riva (2107) and the Wartburg Tourist for starters

[Noel Tidybeard]

you complete bar steward i heart all of the renner 12 dacia models- but i cant justify 35 squids!

[Mr Lobster]

Entering the name of this very website into the 'coupon' box at checkout knocks a bit off don't forget 

[FakeConcern]

My wife has all sorts of vaguely seeside holiday related kitch in the summerhouse & I have given various models cars etc to display for her birthday. Recently decided to add a Corgi Commer camper van, got out bid on a few, then won one with 2 other Commers. All three have tyres missing, can anyone tell me where to get replacement tyres from?

[AndyW201]

Steve Flowers model supplies should sort you out with tyres. He has an ebay shop too I believe.

[Junkman]

Yeah, but he charges roughly double his usual prices for his Ebay items.

You are better off ordering from his delightfully 1990s website:

Tonight's swap. I got this in exchange for a Polistil Audi Quattro SWB.

 

It's a GAMA 1/24 scale and was brought out to coincide with the aunch of the real car.

 

I saw one in a model shop in 1991 when my Dad took me shopping for my birthday present. I recall it was £25 which was over four times the price of a Bburago so my dad said no chance, understandably.

 

I have always wanted one since then and even though it's now quite crude by today's standards I am very happy to have one.

[Felly Magic]

I had that Gama BMW 3 series as well, but in burgundy. Cracking model, I added some clear acetate to the rear doors to mine. On other related news, MOAR Commieshite on its way from Monsieur Lobster of this parish

[Split_Pin]

The burgundy one was the colour of the one in the model shop all those years ago.

[Felly Magic]

Somewhere I have a boxed 3 series Coupe that is missing its wheels and a sill cover from the same manufacturer

[Junkman]

After the Bolander Impala, I wanted another one, a stock one without any accessories.
So I got me this one, a rare version without fender skirts and continental kit, in Anniversary Gold.
 

[Split_Pin]

YO FM, if your stricken 3 series needs a home, hit me up one time, as they say.

Yay, my Matra Rancho did indeed arrive before I left for Shitefest, but I had more sense than to throw it in the boot with all my other stuff.  Big thanks to Lobster Enterprises Inc - top service as always.

 

Here it is:

Even by Otto's standards it's a pretty good looking model.  Very happy with it 

[RoadworkUK]

Our winged rodents are back again, not actually in the loftspace but somewhere between the felt and the tiles... it means I have to be quiet in my rummaging.

 

But I still got my Manta out.

 

 

 

Revell 1:18. I bought this in Toymaster in Chelmsford for about £15 or sommat over a decade ago. I see chancers are now trying to get over a ton for them on eBay. I remember when you could get an Actual 1:1 scale Manta for about that.

[Felly Magic]

Mr Lobster is most excellent, ordered Sunday, arrived Tuesday, spankin!
