    19 Nov 2009 | 8:15 pm
    The Linde H80 Fork Lift truck, in the usual 1/15th scale range, is a superb piece of kit and it will not look out of place alongside any other 1/50th scale models in your collection.Siku have excelled themselves and produced a model coasting just a few pounds that is equal to those 'other' German promotionals which cost three or four times the price. Using their now stanard 'truck' wheels and tryres, which are pretty good for a toy, the Fork Lift is beautifully decorated and well put together.

  • REVELL 1/18 WIESMANN ROADSTER COLOR A

    19 Nov 2009 | 1:57 am
    In the beginning, as with many individually built cars, there was a dream.This was the case with the brothers Martin and Friedhelm Wiesmann who, in 1985, came up with the idea of building a made-to-measure car developed and designed by them. It was not realised until 1993 when a small series was produced. This agile, hand-crafted two-seater from the workshop in Dülmen offers individualists intoxicating performance combined with classical but timeless lines. Opulent, but also attractive and sporty the Roadster presents itself with a long sweeping bonnet finished off with a rounded rear which…

  • VANGUARDS - TRIUMPH HERALD 948 SALOON - 50 th ANNIVERSARY

    19 Nov 2009 | 1:28 am
    Triumph’s elegant Herald was styled by Italian Giovanni Michelotti and launched in April 1959, priced at £495 in saloon form. The car modelled, WOY 660, was built on 24th August 1959 and dispatched on 3rd September to Mr Frank Carr, of the influential Triumph dealership ‘Carr’s Auto Sales’, for his personal use. Carr was a good friend of Standard-Triumph’s Managing Director Alick Dick, and had previously sold Dick his yacht ‘Herald’. The yacht’s moniker inspired the naming of Triumph’s new model range, so, without this car’s first owner, the Herald may have been launched…

    I had gotten the heads up about Estevan Oriol’s LA WOMAN book release via NOBUENO.COM (linked in my blog roll to the right). And also read up on it via Estevan’s blog also on the right side in my blog roll. I pre-ordered it via Amazon and patiently waited its arrival. Once I received it the photos inside are amazing . Being able to see the skill of Estevan’s finger/eye tandem in catching brilliant photos definitely makes me want to follow and learn that same skill. Each photo seems to tell a story (one I don’t know but am sure is interesting). The moments,…

I headed over to their site and grabbed a few items for a fairly good price. These DB9R’s are gorgeous. One happened to get broken up pretty bad during shipment, but with a steady hand and some monster monkey super glue I got it back together. It looks great from far but closeup inspection will tell the tale. These both are hand made ,resin built, 1:24 scale models by Spark.

    I don't know if this car was really rare or something, it really didn't seem like the kind of casting that would be.. but I only found 1 ever and didn't buy it that day, never saw one again. I'm looking for a 2009 Premiere/New Models #32/42, Tread Air. I prefer an International long card, but US would be fine if that's all I can get.

    So I got my Exoto Shelby Cobra Daytonas signed by Carroll Shelby and I'd like to pick up a really nice display case to display one of them. I'm not looking to spend a fortune, but I'd like something a bit nicer than the $15 plastic ones I've got some other models in. Any suggestions???

    19 Nov 2009 | 5:09 pm
    First off, this is my first post and I'm really excited about getting involved on the boards! In anticipation for Carroll Shelby being on our SEMA booth signing autographs, I thought it might finally be time to buy one of the models I've wanted for almost as long as I've been collecting them, the 1/18 scale Shelby Cobra Daytona by Exoto. This particular model is of the car that Bob Bondurant and Jo Schlesser drove to victory at the 12 Hours of Reims in 1965. It was also this car at that race that clinched the 1965 Wold GT Championship for Shelby, the first, and only American car to ever win a…

    If you have not found the 2010 Storytellers (cousins, showstopper ‘girls.’), don’t panic just yet or better yet, don’t panic at all. They will appear on an endcap eventually – maybe next week? Or the week after Black Friday but soon. BMW says the CASE is: Sheila Rhonda Laverne Jud Cletus Buford (2) Brand New Mater Sponsorless McQueen (2) So, good luck and happy shopping. The [...]

For the not so nice boys & girls, it’s Snow Day Sally with non-snowflake-regular rims. No one else seems to have found another one yet … so it [...]

    I’m a fan of Mythbusters. There’s nothing better (or worse) than a Mythbusters Marathon on a Sunday afternoon. In a recent episode they did an experiment that involved dimpling  car like a golf ball to see if it got better gas mileage (Dirty Car vs. Clean Car). In an extreme case they discovered the theory [...]

    Even though the internet can bring together all sorts of people, local diecast clubs are still the foundation for collecting and racing.

    This weekend was another K-Mart Collector’s Day and fortunately enough the K-Mart in my town was participating. I had read about the wonders of a Collector’s Day on the HWC forums. I read about how crazy they were with people fighting over raffles, Treasure Hunts, and having to wait in long lines. I wasn’t able [...]

    After a couple weekends of “alternate” events, I’m back on track to continue The Great Race this weekend. With five new cars up on deck, it’s time for you to pick your favorite to win. The Dodge Demon still sits on top of list, but I think there could be a new contender this weekend. I [...]
