Good looking show. The Daimler SP250 is a favorite of mine. Hemi V8, fiberglass body, very distinctive styling. Used to see one race here in the 60s.

OK, pardon my point and shoot and trembling hands but here are three more Welly drug store models. I was particularly impressed with the interior detail on the convertible and the engine colors and plating. Pretty good for a half engine.

Way to score Randy! Can't wait to see pictures. I had not heard of the 65 Imp being released. My bad for not telling you to look near the front with the stuffed animals. A clerk told me they get a shipment and restock every 2 weeks. Do examine the cars carefully as kids play with them in the store and windshield wipers and review mirrors are vulnerable.

Aw shucks, if you really want a Mustang II just mortgage the farm and order a 1/24 one already built from Automodello, it is only $349.95. Also available in white.

Three years on the primer should do the trick! The body is look really good.

I am a Jeep person and love what you have done with the model.

Congratulations on your find. Somedays you just get lucky.

Thanks for sharing Pete. Really good stuff.

Oh my! All the elements are very realistic. Excellent craftmanship.

Guys, here are pictures of the 1/24 Welly Buick Riviera and Pontiac TRANs AM. Both have engines and poseable front wheels. The tape on the TA door is not standard of course :-)

I really like what you have done here and look forward to seeing more soon.

I remember these at the fairgrounds. Really excellent job recreating it and congratulations on the 1st place in class.

I agree with the above. I tried to order one years ago from a stateside vender and he would not take my order because of the poor quality he said.

Excellent build. Congratulations.

Super job with the gas station forced prospective photo.

Great looking set up you have created and should be very efficient too. Congratulations.

I am having second thoughts, hers is a cabriolet and somehow that just doesn't seem right unless it was a spyder.

Hmmm...wonder if my wife would object if I bolted flares like on her car?

I don't know if this has been posted before but I as checking out Ollie's yesterday and they had stacks of the Lindberg L700 Dodge tilt cab both with and without the chrome tanker.

Randy, I should have mentioned the drug store is Rite Aid and they have a standalone rack with stuffed animals on one side and 1/24 die cast cars, usually Welly, on the other. They get a new batch every two weeks. That is the good news, the bad news is Rite Aid has been bought by Walgreens and I do not know if they will continue stocking the diecasts.

JC, yes both Capri and the Alfa are 1/24.

I have the Welly Buick Riviera and it is very nicely done IMHO. And at $9.99 at the drug store you can't go wrong.

Made my first trip to Hobby Lobby in a long time. All the shelves were stocked with the newer releases but I was kind of shocked by the current prices. I was mainly interested in picking up some paint and they had mostly Model Masters and only Tamiya spray paint was primer, the red Tamiya came from the hobby shop. I treated my self to a new cutting mat and over in the doll house section a big sheet of flooring. I also bought a Revel SnapTite kit of the 2017 Ford GT. On the way home I stopped at the Rite Aid drug store and had a pleasant surprise, a Welly Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and a 1969 Capri 1600 GT each for $9.99. It was a good day.

I am impressed with your work.

I like it a lot Justin. Very well done.
