Datsuncog's Heaps: Sept 2023 - Another Year's T-Met Exemption Certificate...

[Datsuncog]

***ROFFLED!*** One of those magazine part-work things from a few years back now - a Corgi/Solido/neither Fiat 600.



Maybe not super-detailed, but nice nonetheless. Comes in blister pack with separate box.

£6 posted.

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD*** Junkman's recommended maker, albeit in the wrong materials - it's a Norev diecast Beetle.



Lovely condition, quite a charming little model.

£10 posted.

[Datsuncog]

*** SOLD SOLD SOLD!!!*** Something a bit more modern - Cararama Volvo V50.



Don't think it's ever been out of the box. Hey ho.

£6 posted.

[Datsuncog]

****SOLD!!!**** Another from Hongwell - a nicely proportioned VW Type 2 microbus.



£7 posted!

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD*** Hongwell Ford Corsair 2dr, with opening doors and all.



£6 posted!


Remember, this is the price for each individual model - one on its own will cost me about the £3.50 mark to post out. Therefore multiple models = lower postage per model = shiter bonus discounts.

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!!!*** Last of the Hongwell 1/43. This is a rather nice Ford Puma, and I'm now wondering whether I really want to dispose of it...



£8 posted, to enable me to buy sufficient tissues to staunch my bitter tears.

[Datsuncog]

Citroen C4, by New Ray. Surprisingly good proportions and detail, for what it is.



£5 posted!

[Datsuncog]

***ROFFLED!*** Majorette Lancia Lybra. Getting into really odd territory now.



£6 posted.

[Datsuncog]

MOAR still to follow, including the requested pics from folks on here... have to tidy away and feed cats etc here before bed, but will try to get a few more uploaded tonight. Otherwise, in the morning.

Put the Cararamalamadingdong Coarse-hair with the Avenger, should be able to pay in 2 weeks

[Datsuncog]

^^^ You got it!

[Datsuncog]

Cracking on then...

 

***SOLD!!!*** A bit of an oddity from Corgi, this one - a Capri Mk1 from their short-lived Motoring Memories range.

 

 

As far as I can make out, this is the old Corgi Whizzwheels #311 casting, slightly tarted up and bunged out c.1997 as one of four in the range - the others being the Cortina Mk3 GXL in yellow (yep, another reissue - this time #313); a pale blue Escort Mk1 2dr and a darker blue Escort van in Ford livery.

 

 

I had a full set of these Motoring Memories, but sold the others on. Some optimistic prices on Ebay.

 

£8 posted!

[Datsuncog]

And we're back onto Solido again. This time, it's a 1990s Peugeot J9 fire and rescue support vehicle from their Toner Gam range, in a highly visible shade of yellow.

 

 

I've probably given this a tickle with the silver pen at some stage, to introduce some 'realism'. I'm sure that went well.

 

£5 posted!

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!*** Another Solido - Citroen Visa Mk1.

 

 

This model does have a few chips and scrapes, but still presentable - or good for a repaint.

 

£6 posted!

[Datsuncog]

****SOLD**** Solido Simca 1308 (Alpine) in Radio Taxi livery.

 

 

 

Generally extremely good, though does have an odd bleb on one of the wings (just like the real thing, yeah?) and the clear cellophane on the box is a bit runkled.

 

£15 posted!

[Datsuncog]

****SOLD**** Staying with taxis, here's a magazine partwork featuring a Parisian Peugeot 504 taxi.

 

 

Door mirror has detached, though aerial's fine, strangely. Nice model.

 

£7 posted!

[Datsuncog]

**** ALLOCATED!!!**** And staying with Peugeots, here's a somewhat unhappy Solido Pug 605.

 

 

 

For some reason, this one seems to be splaying its body out, causing the doors to sit out of their frames. The rear lights are also missing. Deffo a custom/resto project.

 

 

£4 posted! Or add to an existing box for £nowt extra.

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!!! *** Another Mk1 Capri; this time a magazine partwork version, from the look of it.

 

 

 

Decent enough casting, and not a million miles from the Corgi/Detail version listed earlier.

 

£6 posted.

[Datsuncog]

****SOLD SOLD SOLD!**** One for WTF corner - a Replicars version of a 1979 Mercury Marquis limousine.

 

 

A rather heavy and crude model, with opening bonnet and boot but massive shut lines, I'm not even sure what this is meant to be.

 

 

 

 

Was it originally black? Has it been repainted?

 

 

Take it away and ponder for yourself for a mere £7 posted.

 

Weirdly, these are freakishly expensive on Ebay.

[Datsuncog]

The last Solido, I think - a D-Day GMC truck.

 

 

£8 posted.

[Datsuncog]

***ROFFLED!*** Bburago Renault Clio 2, in launch box.

 

 

£5 posted.

[Datsuncog]

***ROFFLED!*** Bburago Fiat Bravo, in a rather fetching shade of green.

 

 

Also £5 posted.

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!*** Bburago Fiat Cinquecento.

 

 

£5 posted.

[Datsuncog]

***TAKEN*** Bburago Peugeot 405 Raid Rallye

 

 

Also... £5 posted.

[Datsuncog]

*** ALLOCATED!!*** ERTL Chevrolet Camaro.

 

 

£8 posted.

[Datsuncog]

***ALLOCATED!*** ERTL 1949 Mercury Coupé.

 

 

Also £8 posted.

[Datsuncog]

***ALLOCATED!*** ERTL Pontiac GTO, without box.

 

 

I thi k that's whatit is, anyway. I'm kinda woozing out a bit here.

 

£4 posted; it's got a few scrapes and what-have-you.

 

As an aside, this model was bought at Welcome Break services at Membury c.1995; I opened it and placed it on the roof of the family Ford Sierra, and then forgot all about it in some drama over wet wipes or something.

 

We stopped again on the M6, and I was astonished to find the GTO was still there - pushed back against the roof bars.

 

It did about 200 miles at motorway speed, which is quite impressive I reckon.

[Datsuncog]

Anyway. Tired.

 

That's pretty much all the 1/43 models I photgraphed this evening - will respond to individuals in the morning re. requests for photos and other info.

 

Majorette and some Matchbox photographed. All models selected from groups by members photographed. Will PM these to you.

 

Thanks for your patience again, folks!

Did I see mention of 1/72 Cararama a couple of pages back? That's my area of interest so waiting with baited breath to see what goodies appear.

[Datsuncog]

^^^ Yep, 100+ of them! Acrylic boxes, blister packs, trucks, playsets... I photographed them all last year, and have been looking for the pics... failing that, I'll drag the box out again and do them again tonight!
