my 'shite' models...

Excellent! Looks like my bedroom, if Mrs Ramrod would stand it... However I do have the 3rd bedroom as my office/model workshop, and cabinets around the house filled with cars...

 

In fact, have some pics:

No photos due to an inexplicable decision to box 'em all up and put them in the loft last year, but I currently stand at 60 1/18 models, if you count the 8 bikes. I particularly like the shite, which includes P38 Range Rover (AutoArt), '86 Manta (Revell), '90 XM (Solido), '72 Capri (Minichamps), '01 Phaeton (AutoArt).

 

I'm fairly desperate for a MK2 Granada, a Sierra and an E39 5 Series. Must be 1/18, must have opening doors and not be terrible.

Due to my BOREDOM on a Thursday morning, I have just checked to see if any of these are available. They're not although Autoart do 1/18 Sierra Cosworths as you probably know.

and you can get a 1/18 3 door Cosworth from Minichamps; in their Car Collection range so sub £30

I wonder which Granada will appear first in 1/18: Mk1 or 2? If it's Mk1, I'll be there! But I won't be paying list price, I'm always prepared to wait until it drops to a level I can justify. Which is why I don't currently have a Polonez or a Vanguards Miami Blue Granada...

I'd reckon theres a fair chance NEO might pop a Mk1 out in 1/18 - it'll be about £120 though

Some. To be fair all the range isn't that cheap but that one and a couple of others had been discounted by the importer so we got 'em at a good discount. We've not got masses in stock, tend to get small numbers of the IST stuff as they are a bit specialist - theres only so many people wanting a model of an FSO or Dacia Denem Theres some decent stuff on the way this year from them though - Yugo 55, FSO Caro both 1/43 and 1/18 Lada Riva!

ahh excellent, I'm a big fan of eastern european stuff, that minol ddr van is also really nice.

[eddyramrod]

Good offer Mr Lobster! Still way beyond reach though; I'll wait. 1/18 Riva, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Although the 1/43, when I find them, tend to shoot out of range rather quickly.

 

Oh and Benno: cool avatar!

Thanks Eddy, not mine, just found it another forum, some guy picked it up off ebay to restore it but not sure whether he got very far, looking at DVLA hasn't been on road since 97.

Yep, 'I'd be even more impressed if they did an XR4i...

We have recently had one of these open in Ipswich town centre, they have some GR8 stuff, it's my new favorite shop.
