Junkman Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Corgi released a few of their Trackside shite in DIY packs: http://www.corgi.co.uk/shop/trackside/trackside-diycast/era2004-1960s--70s-diycast-set/ They usually sell for around a tenner, but can be had cheaper if you are lucky.Wouldn't it be fun to do a Virtual Autoshite Group Miniature Shite Painting Event to see who has the biggest childhood trauma?

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I have vague recollections of posting my collection before, but it's not in this thread so here. I was given these as a child by someone on my dad's side of the family. Unfortunately I don't remember who, or why I was given them. They're great though, the Cortina's my favourite and the horsebox has two horses in it! And this one, a model of the Outspan Orange, I bought myself at Beaulieu and considered so precious I only took it out of the box to look at it occasionally I still keep it in a safe place.

Split_Pin Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks Hey, I've got a Graffic Traffic MK3 Transit.

quicksilver Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'd forgotten about Graffic Traffic but those photos have just brought the memories flooding back - I used to buy them from Woolworths (remember them?) and yes the pens always made them look shit. They must have taught me something though as I now know how to paint models properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The blue XR3 cabrio was a late '80s promotional item from Kellogg's I believe - I have one that's still in its mail order box addressed to my mum. Partridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
