Can pick them up cheaper but that's still a good price. Mine arrived today, pretty happy with it. Might grab another one once this is built to build the Tommy Kaira version.

Is there any place you could send a picture of your own car,and get them to make up a fairly detailed model?
I'd love to get a few models made up of some of my old cars.

Is there any place you could send a picture of your own car,and get them to make up a fairly detailed model? I'd love to get a few models made up of some of my old cars. I had someone on here make a replica of my Polo and one of how it might have ended up. They were done on Matchbox size models but came out really well. The detail is never as good because you are working on such a small scale, so considering this I'm well impressed  I'll get some pics in here tomorrow and put a link up when i double check he's ok with it.... |

ok a quicker build hopefully it will inspire others to try...  wow what a mess, looks like traveller's have been  simple base 32x40cm, sandpaper as road base, cardboard sprayed for fence  simple moke up of how it should sit together   THE DOLL IS NOT MINE....  ) garage simply a cardboard box covered in white paper and bits out of magazines as posters  ahhh the stash shelf, lots of cars died for this but what an effect it has as a piece, shelfs made of modelling matchsticks and bits of lego  I'm not so good at scratch building only managing to build afew items, one is this tyre machine  Modded 504 sits its place in the garage with shelf in place 504 has datsun 240z wheels and headlights and indicators from a rally 504  see how quick it fills again...   windows will replace my iffy matchstick ones, cutting glass (yes glass not plastic) all part of the fun. (the reason i use glass is one the reflection you get, normally very clear to see through, glass doesnt scratch as easy), epic wheel collection just keeps growing  something else i built was the tyre rack   appearance changed alot with simple add-ons  oh postbox built that too ) bit of lego and a driveshaft done... next installment, rendering the walls, adding more detail to the garage itself... |

ohh like that escort, very nice what scale? update : coated in thick pva then sand shaken on top... allow to dry  do all the bits you need to  will dry like so  mines painted in gloss which i find is alot harder to damage over emulsion which cracks, sometimes afew coats are needed, first coat onto framework  sizing it up...  put pva all along the baseline and cut some moss (yes the stuff down forest like) into fine bits., sprinkle over the area you've glued...repeat till its dense, spray with watered down glue to set it solidish...  umm walls, cheeky fix lego taped together, then again the same as walls, pva and sand, then whatever colour you require on top...  the work continues |

Feeling inspired by the recent postings in this thread I got around to putting my collection up on Photobucket so that I don't have the bandwidth issues with my own tiny website. There's a before album, which shows the stuff before I've done anything to it. Some of the stuff I buy is pretty beeswaxed, but they can yeild useful bits and bobs. s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab16/volksangyl/Lesney%20Matchbox%20Before/ Then there's the after album, which is all the stuff I've finished. s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab16/volksangyl/Lesney%20Matchbox%20After/ I've just started work resurrecting a larger scale (1:24th I think) 1958 Ford Thunderbird which was the first model of its kind I'd tackled a few years ago and ballsed up utterly. I'll take some photographs when I finish it since at the moment it's in bits and partially painted satin black and metallic blue, and even though it's lowered a lot, it's not much to look at. |

If you did I would be absolutely over the moon. I have been searching for one for longer than I care to remember.
I have a plan of making a 1:24 Range Rover tow car.
