Tom Geiger Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Nice work Matt! I’m partial to the Jag since I owned the retro S Type!
espo Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Great looking collection. I also like the Jaguars. I like the look on that Roman Solders face. He looks real nervous. I would also if I showed up at a knife fight dressed like that., I wouldn't be able to run fast enough.
bbowser Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Really great group. No way I would attempt 1/43, 1/32 is small enough thanks.
spencer1984 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 That's a good looking group, nice to see a mix of subjects, too!
ATHU Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Excellent work!! Love the Heller 1/43 builds, I have several of those kits in my stash!
alan barton Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 So cool to see models of cars that we rarely if ever see on this site and done to a really nice standard in a mix of scales. Congrats on a great year's work! Cheers Alan
David G. Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 A great variety of builds! Though I'm impressed by your detailing on the 1:43 scale cars, the work and detail on your Centurion is top notch. David G.
e30lover Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Awesome work! One day I'd love to build the same Hasegawa XJ-2.
doorsovdoon Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Very nice builds of not often seen models. I love the Rover V8. Our art teacher in school had one like that. He would chase us around the streets in it when he caught us skipping school, very intimidating cars!

On the plus side, any that are still in action are probably well-cared-for, so maybe I can rationally fulfil a teenage dream by owning one these days... best, M.

I'm not sure if the Met have any still in service, but if you go to the police garage in West Molesey in London, there's a few they have in storage.

Going back about five years ago the station in my town, Llanelli, still had one and was still in use I think, though I don't know to what extent. I see it from time to time parked outside the station and have passed it on the road twice. Maybe an enthusiast, but I doubt it because it still has it's lights and red stripe. They also have a plain white P6 but I've only ever seen that once.

Spottedlaurel Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 An excellent variety Matt. I remember your WIP thread on the 1:24 XJ-S, your work on the engine in particular was fantastic. Love the 1:43 selection, didn't realise you'd done so many of them. I bete they look great together on the shelf. I saw another one in the series at a local secondhand toy/model shop a while back, Mercedes 450 SL I think, but I was put off buying it after my experience with the Princess - nice kit, just a bit challenging on the eyesight.
