That’s Eddie. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_(Iron_Maiden) steve PS Great build!

Nicer than I realised! steve

Custom or stock? It’s like a 1970s living room. ? steve

This was parked at my nextdoor neighbour’s house. Ferrari Roma. (I had to look it up.) steve

Really look the part. Wouldn’t want to see either of those in my rear view mirror! steve

There’s this one. https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/products/willys-mb-us-army-76wmb003 Or this https://www.rmtoys.co.uk/collections/jeep/products/deagostini-1-43-scale-diecast-12422a-jeep-willys-1947-green steve

Now that is a very fine automobile. To me, the early Barracudas are the nicest looking. steve

Is it a 1958 Chevrolet in there somewhere? Thanks steve

I saw this on the road, as I was sat in it as a passenger hurtling round the local tarmac at incredible speeds! Blimey it’s fast and sticks to the road like the proverbial to a blanket. Roger, my mate and the owner, also has a sprint racer Caterham and has threatened me with a trip round a track in that. I have wanted a 7 since I was 10 years old but never had the means or space to own one. This was my first trip in one. steve

Who had the idea of chopping down tops first? (Like so many 3 & 5 window coupes get.) I'm guessing the idea surfaced post WWII, maybe connected to salt flat racing? Anyone cure my curiosity? Thanks steve

Love that Saab. I had a 900SE 5 door and it handled really well. steve

These are quite common over here in the U.K. steve

Was the real thing actually driveable/driven at all? Thanks steve

Blimey, that’s ugly! steve

That would explain it! ? Thanks steve

I built 3 of those Monogram models over 30 years but never saw the rail. steve

A 1/87 scale mini diorama I made a few years ago. steve

Thanks for all your help chaps. We are going through the stash and sorting them next before we move 'em on. steve

I'm sure most of you have encountered this scenario before. A friend who is often approached to help dispose of model railway collections, has been asked to help by a modeller's widow to shift a collection that contains both. The railway side isn't a problem and the unbuilt kits, cars and aircraft mainly, can go at a swap meet. Where we need help is with the builtups, cars and planes. Is there any sort of market for these? There's loads of them, the attached images give an idea. Any help gratefully received! Thanks steve

I really liked those 1/32 Lindberg hot rod kits. I built several back in the day. Pity they are no longer around, except as ‘collectibles’. steve

Interesting contrast of sizes! steve

Love that GTO! steve

Nicest version of the modern Fiat 500 I’ve seen. steve
