problem is with 1/18's if i wanted to make something like i am now, i'd need a footie stadium to have enough room to manoeuvre

4,444 · January 17, 2010

Theres some really nice 1/18 stuff about at the moment but as you say the trouble is they do take up a lot of room.

1/18 snap-on gear is abit costly too

Looks good Tayne, always good to get stuff cheaper than what they want for it. Typically reflects on the feedback they leave you.......Im currently in a 'need to get some Jap cars' 1/43rd but I cant find anything. Ebbro looks decent but I dont know where to start, the Civic you do Lobster looks nice. Any help?

Ive had certain sellers leave me 'blunt' feedback if they havent had the item go for a price they wanted, haha. Ah well!Agh, I need one more schabak Escort and Ive got the whole lot, shame its the one thats the most collectable. I never win them.

Peter that collection is amazing! I have never seen some of those 1/43rd models you have. I do have a few schabak and gama items, but they command fairly high prices now. You got any others?

5k · January 18, 2010

amazing collection

if this was to be believed the tyres would be far more expensive than the FSO they are on

4,444 · January 18, 2010

Superb collection you got there. Still very impressed

Who makes the Corrolla and Volvos? They are really nice! Lots of matchbox stuff i recognise from my youth too!

1,368 · January 18, 2010

Stahlberg. They're about 1/20th scale, plastic. Nicely detailed - I bought a couple of Saab 900 Turbos at a boot sale a couple of years ago for a fiver and promptly sold them on eBay for Ã‚Â£60 Beautiful collection, Peter C.

January 19, 2010

Hell's teeth, I've seen model shops which don't carry that much stock! And there's me agonising over where I can display the half dozen or so I've got!

4.1k · January 20, 2010

Jeez, what a collection! Are you trying to get 44 of these Skodas?

And these, looks like you're buying them all, then destroy them all but one to increase the value... or do you have a bad memory so you keep buying the same model over and over?

Are the two down on the left Fiat 500/Autobianchi based? They look absolutely amazing! Double cab Cinque-van-to.

5k · January 20, 2010

totally agree my model shop carry's about 5% of that lot, stonkin' collection

hudson, that trabant looks the bomb squire, excelled yourself yet again with it on that trailer

well abit of progression but still unfinished

5k · January 20, 2010

so what about rimz, am i the only only one

afew of mine have undergone rim changes, as with real cars, sometimes hitting with the slammin' stick and a new set of rimz is all your need

see if you can guess what cars the wheels came from

January 20, 2010

VW, Thanks for the reply about the Trabant....The garage is looking brilliant.The Fez is wearing Speedlines....Pug 1.9 GTi....dunno about the other two, although the Cav looks like its wearing Scooby rally car wheels. A couple of the figures look like they're pissed up.... or is the dude by the red Cav checkin the sills....?

I did a bit of outside photography to see if I've managed to replicate tarmac on a little diorama base.......cost fuck all to make and was built in about an hour, but its great for displaying models.

5k · January 20, 2010

blimey had to look at that twice, so realistic that, need walls and a garage now hudson, bloody brilliant those of yours squire..

or is the dude by the red Cav checkin the sills....?

naah now i've rechecked that pic looks like he's slipped over in dog shit
