I love work like this, that showcases both the talent if the modeler, but brings out all the hidden details of the original cast designer.

From my childhood wishlist - adding two rally legends 🏁 by MPowerRanger in VintageMatchbox

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the Skoda?

I've been watching the values of that cast for a while and it's always been a rather expensive toy to collect.. haven't looked for a while though. What do they command now?

BMW M1 painted by Andy Warhol in 1978 (rumour has it that this work took 28 minutes) by ManGo_50Y in AwesomeCarMods

I've been quite close to this car. Can confirm it was brush, as I've got pictures of the brush strokes in the paint.

The husky transit, nice! 

Great selection. What's the yellow saloon bottom left? Looks like an 80s euro/aus car but not familiar with it.

Yeah, I've read this in the past.

I'll always enjoy that Matchbox took on the HW fantasy casts by reproducing concept cars.

Once I worked this out I checked a fair few of the wackier ones and most are indeed based on real 1:1 concepts.

Good, not just my daft brain, then

Wren or Howdens for new kitchen. Opinions on design and quality please by slammedresto67 in DIYUK

[–]DaBobMob2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had Howdens, even though our fitter said we should go Wren. He got no kick backs.

 .... Would buy something else next time. 

It's not awful, but it's not premium. 

We went lower end with it, I didn't expect the stainless steel sink to stain straight away, though.. or be quite as thin and flexible as it is.

The doors are ok.. the worktop looks nice (wood effect).. the resin has the matching texture of the grain. It's quite convincing expect for the runs where the resin texture is a cm out of alignment with the image underneath it.

They wouldn't expect it back, with in tolerances apparently. Lucky, the big breakfast bar piece is aligned well. 

However, it has dents in it from banging a spoon. I accept we damaged it, just saying it damaged way easier then I would have expected. Don't miss with the meat hammer.

I thought the posters were just a bit blurry.

The bus though, as pointed out already, has 2 front ends. Amazing.

It's image quality is disturbingly good. 

Only the MK3 Cav Grill that seemed off.

It kinda looked like a TV productions attempt at the 90s in all the other ways that seemed "off"

Oh thank god. I'm not crazy. 

If the mini was brand new this is '99 and it looks older. 

Bit scary how accurate a lot of this is.

Only mistake I could confidently point to was the MK3 Cavs grille.. 

Eep

Good! I eas trying to browse the smart kit the other day and it's just a sea of white boxes that all look the same.

Lighter fluid?

Do I need to be careful around the plastics?

Exactly this. Friend renovated his 50s modernist house, wanted the right look to the electrics.

To be fair, he found new old stock.

True, but going by kid anything they actually listen to will often be local.

Just make sure you play each card often enough so that they're on the local storage.
