Just want to offer a opposite to Spot of the Day Just seen a new Ford Mustang What on earth possessed Ford to call that sort of car a Mustang Expect the next will be a hot hatch GT40 Fiesta

I have a similar problem I use an old computer desk/cupboard Doors open and keyboard stand slides out. You may need to make it deeper but that's not too difficult I have an old tray on that and all my bits are on it When I have finished just slide tray in and close doors. The top can be used for anything unrelated to modelling

Saw a large, I would say sixties, american car followed by a Mk 4 or 5 Cortina last night Odd combination

I have just had a reminder to my self of a local firm and can never remember seeing it on this forum The name is as title and their website is https://www.grandprixmodels.com They do a lot of diecast models but some kits as well I have no connection to them and have never used them so I am not trying to advertise them but I thought it may help people looking for obscure models Be warned you may be tempted to spend a lot!!!

Went to Salisbury at weekend and saw a few classics on way MGB and Midget Beautiful Lotus Elan Also four old vehilcles which I didn't recognise .just outside Banbury Three the same from the probably the thirties and one even older followed later by another oldie The three didn't have a large grille, quite a narrow front with the top not Chrome Strange looking things

I am surprised nobody has mentioned that he said the Lancaster was accompanied by 5 spitfires and hurricanes Even SWMBO mentioned it so I wasn't dreaming

Another little beauty, I was also surprised at the size of it. Must strain the eyes a bit.

Lovely build and the cab looks good Have you got a bulk buy of yellow paint?😀 I expect they left the yellow line connected when they dropped the trailer, that always stretches them out!!

They used to have a house in a smallish village and with all the other kit they had it did If I could get Village Photos to work I would put some photos up

That is a cracking build There is something about these old Scammel's, chap who used to work with me had an Explorer and his father had one with an original petrol engine

Absolutely brilliant, so lifelike Looking forward to the 1:24 version 😀

Superb

Very nice model, well done indeed

That's a cracker

Are you sweating when you go onto a forecourt. Do you shake uncontrollably when you grasp the nozzle Do you get dizzy at the check out Then you may be suffering from carowner virus

Two guys robbing an off licence. One turns to the other and asks " Is this whisky? " The other replies " Yes but not as whiskey as wobbing a bank!! "

That looks lovely, very well done I seem to remember that there was a darkish grey was very popular, that is what I am intending to do mine in. They definitely did that colour in the S Type

My SWMBO decided it was time to sort loft out. So first two boxes brought down were her stuff I'm not getting rid of that , followed by, I'm not getting rid of that and then I 'm not getting rid of that So both boxes went back up to loft and the subject was forgotten Mind you that was a few years ago and I have a feeling that the subject is brewing again Bet you can't guess which two boxes will be first down!!!

What a beauty, your skills in weathering and lifelikeness astound me. Brilliant

Cracking model, you may have problems but it looks all sorted to me

Just west of Banbury about 7.45 a B52 flying fairly low under the cloud. Could see it plain as can be Must be out of Fairford out for a morning jog

Ah yes that's more like it, ,my local BRS depot truck 20 years behind the Swedes but a real workhorse Lovely model of it. very realistic What used to make me laugh was the drivers that learned on Scanias and Volvos had no idea how to drive these sort of trucks with the Spicer and Fuller gearboxs We have a ERF that the gearbox was almost glowing when one of Volvo trained drivers took it out It was on demo so we didn't dare take it out again

Lovely models Without doubt the best looking car ever made and you have done them justice
