This is where the beauty of the model really hits home its attenion to detail in the engine bay is beyond even the real things, im sure i could enter this into a concourse and possibly win its got the whole works and has a little Morris plate on the top of the rocker cover there is also and bonnet stay to prop the bonnet open it really is the creme dela creme

i know what you mean the Owner at the local model shop always gets me to see his traveller for sale which is the 1:12 scale sun star but ive always declined as too much.

He goes by the terms id rather have 3 sun stars than millions of little models which is true because these are unbelievable but i just wouldn't justify spending that much on a model but love my girlfriend loads for it made my day.

Now you've got to out do her on a wedding ring

After cleaning and reboxing all my Ferrari F1 cars I have decided to get some of my Mini models out of hibernation. First up is my entire collection of plastic Galanite Minis from Sweden

Here's the green ones, note the one with red wheels


Next are the blue ones, with a slightly darker one at the front.


then there's the orange ones, again with one in a different shade at the front


and finally the red ones.


I still haven't got hold of a yellow version yet, and I have seen other Galanite models with blue wheels, so perhaps there are some out there?

[surfblue63]

Next is my collection of Dinky Austin Mini Countrymans and Morris Mini Travellers.

These were available in various colours, with red, blue and yellow interiors


The orange car has been detailed with a marker pen in the past. Unfortunately it will not come of without the paint coming off with it!



Austins came in blue with yellow or red seats normally,


Note the yellow seat version is a slightly different shade to the others, and the one at the back has no seats which have probably been lost as the base is loose.



and dayglow orange with red seats


Morris' came in the dayglow green with red seat, dark green with yellow seats


and cream with yellow, blue or red seats, the blue seat version is the rarest.
