i have too much shite,

[Felly Magic]

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

[Felly Magic]

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]

2 more from that collection. A Pug J, and a Renault Estafette

 

 

[Felly Magic]

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

[Felly Magic]

Do it! If you're lucky, I'll post up a pic of my Renault Twingo Police car...

 

Well, we are still waiting

[Felly Magic]

Some taxishite now, starting off with an Austin FX4, which came from Modelzone last year for £3.99

 

[Felly Magic]

Merc bargecab. £2.99 Norwich Toymaster!

 

[Felly Magic]

Peugeot 404 cab, Modelzone, £3.99

 

[Felly Magic]

Another 'Altaya', this time a Simca saloon. Another toyfair bargain at £3

 

 

[Felly Magic]

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.

[Felly Magic]

And one in even worse nick! The Custom Transit van too. Looks ideal for a scrapyard diorama to be honest.

 

[DSdriver]

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!). Most of my cars have been sold on ebay but I couldn't bring myself to part with these beauties:

[Felly Magic]

Cool Hang onto them for deffo

[Pillock]

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.

[dollywobbler]

Right.

 

Here it is then.

 

The Twingo of dreams!

 

 

And check out the detail on the seats! Not bad for 1/43 scale.

The Transit is one of the rarer models in the series, and would love to get my mitts on one

[Felly Magic]

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.

[Felly Magic]

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.

 

[Felly Magic]

Back to the shite with a capital S now. Gold Shitroen Visa

 

[Felly Magic]

Comparing my 2 Renault 4 vans. This is the first time they have been put together out of the box...The Michelin Altaya and not sure who (Atlas?) R4 collection Nice Firebrigade early version

 

 

 

[Felly Magic]

Been spending again. More minature autoshizzle. Got one of those Seat 124 Lada thigines in rally guise, and a Vanguards Fester XR2. Tempted to get the basic Fester Vanguards model & do a bit of swapping about with wheels/grille/bumpers...

 

[Burnside]

More Mk5 Escortness from Germany

 

 

Including Orions!

 

 

 

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?

[Burnside]

Thought id also add this random bit of 90's italian shite!! early Fiat Tempra made by Norev.

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

[Felly Magic]

Just ordered some more diecast shite....Wayhay

[eddyramrod]

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!

[Felly Magic]

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....

[Felly Magic]

I may have some diecast shizzle for sale soon too, as I concentrate on the smaller scale stuff. I have a boxed 1/25 scale German version Sierra saloon (not Sapphire) in 2.0 Ghia form, boxed and in VGC, plus the Cossie version in black that has the odd chip and is unboxed, both by Schabak. I may even be tempted to part with the Escorts/Onions in 1/43, but not sure yet.
