Bill Clinton......shit... he's got one hand now as I knocked him off the shelf and one broke off.......

Perhaps he'll keep his remaining hand to himself in future!Love the tatty Hilux! (?)

wow rab, nice stash you got there@hudsonpie, amazing skills my friend, simply amazing

[barrett]

Ha! I have the same Chevy, Corsair, Europa and Landy as you Rab. Good score with the spot-on 1100, you'd be surprised how much they are worth even in that condition....

[Mr Lobster]

Hey Wat, did you get my PM?

[Vin]

Is that yellow Range Rover an 'ESCI' model I have a couple of the Paris Dakar Transits in my stash. ESCI had a fantastic 1/24 range in the early eighties

[Hudsonpie]

Vin, its the Italeri re-hash...the rally one with the blanked side windows opened up and a scratchbuilt rear hatch The ESCI kits are pretty good I have a Transit but am after another one to turn into a beavertail. They fetch good money on evilbay though.

Once I get my Brabham BT60, my shite F1 collection is complete. Even if they never made a Brabham - Yamaha. I'll just have to make do with Damon Hill's Brabham Judd.

 

Behold!

 

 

Double Simtek S941 boxset by Minichamps. Had to send for Holland for these pair. David Brabham (31) and Roland Ratzenberger (32).

 

Might have to get an Onyx Pacific PR01 as well.

You can buy repro grilles/bumpers for most of the spot-on range now, not 100% about the 1100. Tyres, I guess you can get, but i'd reckon ones from a corgi or dinky of the same era might fit, and those are easily got. If I were you I wouldn't sell it, get the bits and fix it up, it'll make a nice little project and you'll probably never see another one... My spot-on Multipla is one of my favourite models for that reason.

[Mr Lobster]

my shite F1 collection is complete.

For the moment at least. Minichamps are releasing a load of more obscure F1 cars later this year - Larrouse Lamborghini, Arrows, Leyton House March, Super Aguri and assorted Tyrells.Strange you should mention the Pacific - I bought a PR02 to accompany my PR01 a week or so back I'd like a Simtek but can't get them new anymore and all the ones on ebay seem to go for daft money.

[Guest]

I'd like a DSimtek but can't get them new anymore and all the ones on ebay seem to go for daft money.

My pair were a slightly stupid £48.

[Mr Lobster]

Little Lobster shite update for you. Despite assurances from those 'in the know' that the ex part work products would be a bit scarce this year, so far there have been loads.

 

Started off with this Renault Alpine collection by Eligor which is pretty nice. Then more of the Altaya stuff landed. Mainly a collection of classic French cars but including this shite icon. Also had a load of part work bikes turn up too.

 

In other news, went to a trade show t'other day to see some of this years releases. Of interest to shiteists might be a Mk3 Capri in 1/18 scale by Norev as well as 1/18 Clio Williams. Oxford Diecast have a load of Top Gear challenge cars due out towards the back end of the year - Herald, Hi Lux and Transporter 'boats' plus Panda, MGF and Saab/Alfa stretch Limos which are surprisingly good.

 

Finally, if any 'shiters happen to be going to Ultimate Dubs show at Telford this weekend, come and say hello. We'll be the stand with the plastic lobster on the top

[scruff]

Matchbox Land Rover II

Hey that's my motor!

 

[brammy777]

Has anyone else seen the IST/IXO stuff on ebay? I see Yugos and Polonezs, alongside other obscure Soviet stuff.

[MrRegieRitmo]

These are definitely my model manufacturers of the moment! Check out some of the stuff they produce...

[MrRegieRitmo]

On another note, a chap at work is looking for a model of a silver BMW M coupe (E36/8 1998-2002) with a black interior. He sold such a car to pay for his wedding an now drives a focus.Any ideas anyone...

Are we talking 3 Series here... or Z3 M coupe? I assume you want it in 1/43?Minichamps do M3s and Schuco did a Z3 M coupe....whether you'll find one in silver & black though is another matter!

[Guest]
