Felly Magic Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Some decent stuff there. Would love to get my paws on the Mk2 Fiesta, but when they do apear on ebay, they are over £20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Modelzone bargain now. £4.99. Think its a Norev/Eligor casting, but not sure. Seems to be a French commercials collection, as I have a few from it. Update, got the bugger out of the box and off the baseplate (torx screws with a nib in the middle so had to break that bit off to get a torx bit in), and it is a Norev, and a much superior casting to the Altaya.

Felly Magic Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 2 more from that collection. A Pug J, and a Renault Estafette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Michelin Collection models now. I have a few of these, all picked up for around a fiver, or in some cases much less. Citroen Arcadiane Peugeot J series LWB VW Bay window, which bizarrely when taken apart, has the minibus interior! Peugeot J SWB Renault 4 van Citroen ID, with full measuring equipment detail inside including a wheel/tyre. Will get this in bits at some point to show the interior. A £2.99 bargain. Citroen H van And finally, the Renault Fourgonette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Something that is in dire need of TLC now. A Dinky Transit Mk1facelift lwb, that has had an attack of the Humbrol brush. Nitromors and a respray in white I think in the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 And one in even worse nick! The Custom Transit van too. Looks ideal for a scrapyard diorama to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSdriver Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I've never seen an Isetta Panda car Here are some French Dinkys that I have had since a child (shows how old I am!).

Pillock Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Those Michelin livery models.... the shop at Santa Pod has a load of Mk1 Transits from that series - none of the others you have, just stacks of the Transit! Severly overpriced though at £7.99 when I looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Right. Here it is then. The Twingo of dreams! And check out the detail on the seats! Not bad for 1/43 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 That Twingo looks weird. A Norev perchance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 That Twingo looks weird. A Norev perchance? Nay, Vitesse. It's a bit sloppy to be honest. The Renault logo is on a wonk on the tailgate and the Police thing goes across the rear wiper. I should sell it, but I like the fact that it reminds me that Autoshite-loving began young. I chose this model over a McLaren F1 model. I must have been about 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Vitesse, models back then not known for quality. I vaguely remember this model from when I was in the trade, anyroad, I got that Michelin ID Safari/Break in bits today (with much swearing, due to those stupid triangle screws), and here are a couple of shots of the 'guts' And now both ID's together. The quality of the Norev version is much better than the Altaya version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Been spending again. More minature autoshizzle.

Burnside Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Thought id also add this random bit of 90's italian shite!! early Fiat Tempra made by Norev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Ive got the same Orion, and my brother has the Escort estate, Escort hatch, Escort cabrio & Orion the lucky so and so!! Did you make the number plates on these, or can you get them from somewhere? I made them using Coreldraw. Printed them onto self adhesive paper, cut them out & bingo. I've made all sorts of stuff using Corel, including stickers for a Lego ice cream van. Yup I'm a Lego freak too. The blue oval diecast fleet gained a further addition too yesterday, the blue Fiesta 1.1L in the vanguards range, which may just gain the Wolfrace Sonic allys of the XR2. Simple baseplate swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Me too! In my case, a couple of 1/18 cars from America. The models weren't expensive, but shipping is going to hurt more than my back does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 I have the Michelin Ford Transit on its way, plus a Volvo 144 diorama and a Talbot Solara! Shite tastic! All from the bay of eeee's. This will make 9 from the Michelin collection (plus a Solido 403 van in Michelin livery). Im thinking about doing a shitters car lot diorama, as I now have plenty of 1/43 tat. You know, a bit like an Arfur Daley lot, portacabin in the corner, bunting etc....
