good stuff, yeah got a lot but in loft these days, was trying to get models
mainly in the 1:24 scale and got some nice american pick ups and trailers.

as a child enjoyed collecting 1:32 brittains tractors and farm equipment,

along with the classic matchbox cars and superking sized trucks also siku
do some rally good detail.

on another track, sorry for pun got 50 or so diesel 'oo' locomotives and
about 25 steamers. again all still boxed in loft....

since 17 concentrated on 12 inch to foot cars lol

Nice

I collect mainly 1:18 or 1:24.

Unfortunately I can't see them, as they are on Farcebook, and I am not.

I collect any models of the cars I have had in my driving life time. Still trying to find a Terrano though.

I also have a few specials, like Hummers (we got married in one), Aston Martin (inspirational), a few steam engines, and some old toys of my dads, or something that just took my fancy.

I also collect the models that advertise Chocolates. All our ferrets are named after chocolates, so we collect any cups or model cars/trucks with their names on.

That's great...

I have not seen those models before, but I need the Long wheel base...

Have you remembered to move the rear number plate on your model, or would it just be easier just to by a "Disco", and re-paint that

I got mine from eBay, came, I think from China. It was originally a fire service model, painted bright red with blue roof lights. Repainted it Mexican Chilli Red (same as my T2) after removing the roof lights and filling the holes, and although it's based on probably a 2003 - 2005 model, looks a reasonable facsimile for my 1994 T2.

Yup, that's the same as what I got

. I painted mine and done away with the roof lights, also fitted rails
