Mr Lobster Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 1/24 scale Sierra Cosworth saloon from an Italian partwork...... and I bet this gets serious scene tax very quickly. Let's hope so eh? I bought all of them and I reckon me seeing quite so many of them sat in the unit could get old pretty quickly. In other news - Corgi cancelled a fuck tonne of stuff they have announced for 2016 including, rather oddly, the Vanguards Stag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The Hornby chief exec had to go recently, he brought a 'new broom' in and went shit or bust - and it didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew e Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Get in a buy some Hornby then! They have had a good week this week, ending at 39.25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 They'll survive. As for most of the models, most will go ahead. They given (delayed) release dates for a lot which given timescales would suggest an awful lot has already been manufactured. There was obviously an issue holding up production which we can probably guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayMK Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 My first attempt at photographing model cars..... This is a 1/43 Tatra 603 that I've had for a few years. I have another identical one which came in a 'Cold War Series' display box. Make? Nothing underneath it. No doubt someone will know.

garethj Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks for the info. Luckily my knowledge of the real thing is somewhat limited, so I'm just happy to have a generic '70s American 4dr kit. I don't think there are many others? When I made my 1:32 resin bodyshells there were almost no plastic model kits available, most were created from 3D models. Who wouldn't want an AMC, a few Dodges, a Buick and a Caddy? That 1:43 Tatra is made by IXO eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vantman Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Certainly not miniature but still shite. Can anybody advise me if these are collectable and have any value please? They are both Triang tinplate pull along, quite large, about 18" long X 10" high. Scruffy condition and the van has no back door. Many thanks. SAM_1461.JPGSAM_1463.JPG After weeks advertising these without any response at all I finally sold them yesterday for £60.00 'sight unseen' to a tin plate collector who I met whilst browsing in a junk shop. eddyramrod and RayMK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 I love an old Siku, that was a good find. I used to have that MJ 17 as well, but I think I swapped it. I have the matchbox version now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's ace. It looks really old as it's got the narrow wheels. I'll be keeping the Renault as I've got the SM already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

155V6 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I saw some Majorette cars in Poundworld yesterday,they were older releases but still worth a look.I also noticed that Tesco have reduced the price of their Majorettes to £1.50,there were only about 3 cars on the shelf though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 It was sunny out yesterday so I thought I'd take the MGF out. Not really a classic model, one of the splurge of 1:18 Corgi models brought out during the late '80s. Looks good if you squint, though, and look past the undersized wheels / balloon profile tyres and crude front and rear lights. But then, MGF owners ain't spoilt for choice. mercrocker, Mr A Lawrence, Junkman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Ive got that in graphite, for what it is, I love it. I have the 'executive' wooden plinth too. Re majorette cars, I saw the new lower price and bought a Megane just to compare with the older ones I had as a kid. As expected it took a bit of difficulty getting it through the checkout.

quicksilver Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Another Minix restoration, the Simca 1300. This is a later one so it had an interior (LHD) but also had those ghastly flat black discs that passed for wheels - the new wheels are from a Cararama Mini. It was inspired by Gary Cox's, although his is a 1301 with different rearlights - close enough though. mercrocker, garycox, hennabm and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Nice job that, certainly brings out the basic good shape of it... Really is the best thing to do with those black wheeled versions I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Bburago 1/43 Fiat Regatta. I restored it in Ford 'Nordic Blue' inspired by Junkyard Dogs superb efforts. Looks good I think, the colour suits it. mercrocker, junkyarddog, Banger Kenny and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
