Seeing a number of similar custom jobs (on Hot Wheels mainly) such as this one above, has anyone tackled the (to me) forgotten Superfast wacky fantasy cars instead?

You'd be wanting to have a chat with @vulgalourabout that...

and Spot-On Isetta.

Great line-up Eddy. I've got an Isetta with a broken base waiting for me over in France. Was due to come over the sea in someone's luggage - but is marooned!

To be fair I think they are both on the cheaper side

Play-worn tatty Mantas go for a fiver as it is.  The tampo livery on that Manta is very smart too, one of the better, I reckon.

So you also get a free Corvette to throw at a noisy neighbour.

I've a few similar Mantas here and waiting to be posted iirc,so this will be staying sealed once it arrives

I've left the BMW's as they're not my thing really but he does have a few more odds and sods for sale including these at around £5

That looks really good - don't think I have a Blue Shark

*edit* yes I do

The tattier one of those Lite Aces is crying out for some 70's camper paint and different colour interior...

No it was the Mercury but it looks sufficiently like one.

@Spottedlaurel - I'm interested in the Red Peugeot Expert van ('maintance mechanique' written on the side) the Proton mug (unless a Proton fan wants to snaffle it). Whats the Mercedes thing inside the mug?

Both van and mug have been claimed I'm afraid. Mercedes thing is a pen on a string. Do you want it? I'll happily send that one out as a freebie, no other purchase necessary.

Finally for this update, the Toe Jam and Earl is now in first colour.  The mirror gold is the base colour,

post-5335-0-69781900-1555879470_thumb.jpg

That gold looks amazing on that.  Which paint?  I'd like to get a couple of rattlers of that it looks the part.  The Tamiya gold I have is more like a metallic katsu curry colour

You've given me an idea..

FETCHA FETCHA

Six wheel Fetcha car transporter.  Blue windows might be an issue though.

It was either Wilko's or Rustoleum's mirror gold, I can't remember which.  Fetcha Fetcha needs to happen.

Posted

Otherwise there could be in these sad times FETCHA HEARSA

Six-wheeled Fetcha hearse, having roof stretched right back; painted all in black.  Ornate pin-striping to flanks and tailgate.  Row of flowers on roof.

/  Perhaps I should go now

That gold finish is impressive, whenever I use something that's supposed to be a shiny metal finish I get this

Love the Zephyr. I had the gift set as a boy but have only got the 1100 and the trailer left.

I picked up the Holden and De Tomaso simply because I never had them as a kid.  The Holden came from one of Barrow's many charity shops.

Is the EJ Holden a Dinky? I’ve never seen a period model of an old Holden, only modern stuff.

I have that Holden, boxed too, my Uncle looked after it as a lad.

Lunchtime so I had a wee go at the recent trend of photographing diecast while in the garden. I love doing this!

The bonnet is the most valuable part on the Majorette 604 !!

Yes please

There was something else you put aside for me I think?

Yes, I have this BMW 2002:

49575857291_5335443983_b.jpg

I do also have a carded black 2002 standard Hot Wheels, too.

Not sure if the 2002(s) and the 500 would be worthy of sending in one parcel, if you didn't want a very long wait? HOWEVER, I think @eddyramrod may have registered an interest for the 500 just prior to me putting up the photos, as he's a Gulf livery collector. If so, then I'm all of a quandry as to who lays claim to it, though hopefully something mutually beneficial can be sorted out!

In other continuing 'what toss did Jon buy!' news, here's today's reveal:

 

49651152826_2da13ed41d_h.jpg

This is a 1/43 Verem 928, which is basically a slightly tarted up Solido. Steps taken include the addition of tacked on plastic rear lights, door graphics and the teledial wheels. I've got a Solido 928 in Silver, which is now redundant now that I have this. You may notice a Porsche theme of late in my buying antics and it seems that someone must've dropped off their collection of unboxed Porshes, as there were plenty to choose from. Despite this being a needless duplicate, the additional trinkets and the fact that it was only £2.50 swayed it for me!

Also, let me say that I am much enjoying people's efforts to creatively photograph their small tat. Keep it up, lads!

Yes there was such a flurry of activity on this thread yesterday I couldn't keep up

Well I think there should be no quandry, as when it comes to AS Diecast Collectors, an EddyRamRod is worth three Flat4Alfas.  It's the rules.

Therefore the Eddy wins by default.

I'll send over a PM regarding the 'one parcel' thoughts.

Received a parcel from Eddy today containing these two. I’ve already been browsing replacement doors and rear bumper on eBay! The restoration begins!
