Shite in Miniature II

[bunglebus]

MUST RESIST the Bentley, or it'll end up with a V8 sticking out of the bonnet and steamroller rear wheels

Farmer Tom said he wanted the Bentley

To go along with his Market Blokey Benz

Well, there's a Corgi Juniors 007 Esprit still looking for a home:

Few marks here and there, but still in reasonable fettle - any takers at 20p?

Was sure I had one.  But can't find it.  So I will say Cogbox please, shaken but not stirred

Fujimi 1:24 Skyline finished on a rainy day off work yesterday:

 

Not quite sure what to do next in my quick, simple build series, maybe this Toyota Hiace?

If I do then I doubt it will have those decals.....

Shed roof looking terrific there!

Nice.  C10 Skyline has to be one the sleekest looking eastern car of the era.  The hint of determination in the Plymouth Fury grille just finishes it

TAT WEDNESDAY

You could create a replica of that hiace that was used in those murders in Scotland, can’t remember the blokes name Angus something or other. 

[flat4alfa]

Angus Sinclair.  Suntor camper conversion

Not sure it's a fitting subject though!

TK Maxx sale bin finds

Another Bone Shaker and the Aston Martin One-77

Not sure what I am going to do with them though.

No bother - will pop those two in with the others!

Today's finds from a random charity shop in Kent that I've never been to before

That Hot Wheels is a rarity.  It's Bugeye, 1971-73

In that enamel blue paint, it was part of the 1973 Shell petrol station promo campaign

If you are looking to move on....

Had to pay Halfords prices though 

Postie had tucked this away for me too

That redline is extremely cool, great find!

[sierraman]

Dropped in the charity shop today, nothing amazing but a few modern Matchbox and a 80’s Golf GTI for 30p. These seem to go for some decent coin on eBay, perhaps less so now of the stupid new rules. 

[bunglebus]

They do go for good money. I haven't found the grey one yet

[sierraman]

Volkswagen residual values ha ha!

[junkyarddog]

Nice find,I do think it's a terrible rendition of the mk2 golf  though.

[junkyarddog]

I have a soft spot for yellow cars with a black bonnet,as I used to have one on my old yellow Corolla coupe.

I also have a soft spot for the Honda Prelude, so when I found this one it was coming home with me.

Of course Smoll Eddy couldn't wait to get his hot little metal hands on it and fit some new rims and tyres.

Looks nice smoll Eddy, where you get them from?

On the contrary - with the new Ebay rules seeming to be upsetting sellers rather than buyers, I reckon that fewer sellers around plus the same number of buyers may push prices up a bit?

I managed to score myself a grey Golf in similar condition from the 50p box last year; it's really not a great rendering of the Mk2 but I kinda like it anyway. It remains a keeper for now (unless they start fetching silly money online).

No batteries required... 

[sierraman]

The golf does look like it’s been on steroids. Didn’t take a picture but also picked up a Matchbox Calibra, not a great model but it was cheap so it came home with me.

I reckon if I drove a car hard into a wall, I could achieve nicer styling!

It worked for Peugeot...

[flat4alfa]

At first squint, I thought it was a Peugeot !

I am not at all sure what it is.

If you mean that peculiar grey thing, then it's a Citroen ami quadricycle

[bunglebus]

Matchbox Calibra is another sought-after casting!

New F+F set spotted. Didn't excite me enough to buy it

Thanks.

Still looks like it's been chasing parked cars
