Shite in Miniature II

[DVee8]

You may as well try here first we are always on the look out

[eddyramrod]

My copcar still hasn't arrived.  I'm getting a bit worried now...

[UmBongo]

I've got a load of shite old models.

Mostly corgi but a few hot wheels or matchbox. Condition ranging from as new to utterly wrecked. None are boxed.

 

Any interest in my listing them up here at AS rates before they go on ebay in a few job lots?

 

It's hardly worth selling a few low cost items on ebay now what with all the costs involved.

[UmBongo]

I've got a boxed yellow one but the cellophane has collapsed. Still nice though. Proper Ghia wheels too.

 

Corgi did a massive campaign for the launch of the Sierra.

 

It was a big deal.

 

The funny thing is they didn't do a 1:36 scale MK4 or MK5 Cortina until the Vanguards range years later.

[Pillock]

I had that Sierra unboxed, and as a 6 year old was really chuffed with the wheel design! Does it also have reclining seats?

Went to Goodwood,

 

Bought a Mustang!

Yes. Throw a list up please

[RoadworkUK]

2.3 Pinto turbo?

 

Yup. As per Merkur XR4Ti but with added intercooler.

[sheffcortinacentre]

then eng has no interchangeable parts with the uk pinto.

then eng has no interchangeable parts with the uk pinto.

 

No, especially since it's one eighteenth the size.

I had the nypd 5.0 lx version by Gmp, swapped it last month though.

It certainly appears to be 1/18, and I haven't got a 70s police car in that scale.  Well, until it arrives.  Maybe I should have messaged the seller to ask, lol.  Autoshite Leap Of Faith!

It's arrived!  It's definitely 1/18, so that's ok.  No box, but that's ok too, I have some others unboxed.  There's some small damage, which is going to get him lukewarm feedback.  On the plus side, I'm still alive (she's just not speaking to me, again).

That's good, you can enjoy it in peace and silence.

[Sealtainn]

Does anyone elses other half get annoyed when you are running them round the living room carpet making "brum brum" noises or is it just me?

[Junkman]

Mine only gets annoyed when I start up the top fueler on the living room carpet.

[RoadworkUK]

All this Yank Tank bothering made me want to get my Poncho on.

 

So I did. Fresh from the attic. '69 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ 428

 

 

Quite detailed.

No mines not to bothered.I do get the look when BigTrak is roaming the landing floor when she is trying to dry her hair.

I just build Lego garage dioramas to display my mini shite in, I need help LOL

[FakeConcern]

Looking in the loft recently, I found a box labelled "toys". In with all the really old Corgis I found a few I customised in the early 80s.

 

The Mini I painted to look like my first car, later passed on to my girlfriend. The Metro is again my car. The 2CV Charleston is a Corgi James Bond Yellow painted to look like a friends car. The 2CV van I did after we had been to France & saw them everywhere. Again based on the James Bond model with plasticard rear body. Sorry they are all so dusty, I meant to clean them, but CBA!

You think that's bad, look at my avatar pic!  I bought this garage off a tat stall at a car show and restored it.  In fact I think that's a "before" pic there.

 

Of course this will make no sense at all next time I change the pic!

[Pillock]

Could I bagsie the Sierra Ghia, one of the transit wreckers and the Mk1 Golf please?

 

There's loads more I want, but I'll limit it for now to give others a chance

[Jon]

I reckon the Mk1 Golf GTI is actually a Mk2 if it's a Matchbox. Should look like this:

 

 

That's not to say that it's any less desirable or implying that Nyphur is trying to cash in on scene tax etc. It just seems that we're probably about the same age, as it seems I had most of these in my toy collection when growing up, hence nerd knowledge. I'd say you were pretty on the ball price-wise and that you shouldn't have much problem finding homes for your collection. Pick of the bunch for me would be your version of this:

 

 

Which I reckon is very fair for £1. My brother had the same model and postage to NZ would be a fortune so I'm out, though.

[Split_Pin]

I have a Matchbox MK1 Golf

[Split_Pin]

Put me down for the BMw 3 series, 850i and VW 1500 saloon please. I'll arrange payment today.
