Mr Lobster Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brammy777 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brammy777 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted 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 £60 Beautiful collection, Peter C.

55bloke Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiel Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWPowered Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudsonpie Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted 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.
