OT....if you're out and about can somebody let me know if they see any of those 1:32 Vespas in the stores? Thanks bunches!!
Mr Kartman,
I need your snail mail address
I found 2, I think they might be a bit bigger then 1:32, there are no markings. The only info on them is for ages 8+, you qualify don't you?
One is a pearl white with black seat and the other is a metalic BRG & tan seat. The white one has a blue 125 decal on the passenger side of the lower kick plate.
Still no luck find the pop tops, so go ahead and send them Bobbie. After this one, we should just run a tab, it all balances out at some point
I think I'll let me g-son open the Mystery one, he'll be up this coming weekend
The brake rotors and calipers are separtes parts and the rotors actually turn with the wheels.
The details is just about perfect. But there's a couple of faults. The dash is the older 5 piece design, the tweeters are missing and no antenna. Other than that, it's much better than the one made by Minichamps.
1:43 Autoart
I got the green cabrio and the blue Cooper S a while ago. The white bonnet stripes on the coupe were added on. I'm planning to add a set of black stripes to the red cabrio later.
Well, now I have to apologize to everyone for inviting you to join our thread Ken. Good work Your first post and you kick our backsides with stuff we'll never get.
Nice stuff , what's the color of the MINI? Looks a little like eb?
Back on page 24 of this thread I saw photos of die cast Minis purchased at Big Lots. I went to my local Big Lots this afternoon (11/21/06), but could only find a 1:18 scale Austin Powers movie edition Mini. I purchased it anyway.

I just completed a Fujimi S model kit. Color is orange with an iridescent clear coat. The scoop, headlamp rings, rear spoiler and front splitter are covered with carbon fiber decals. The sunroof is a single pane of "glass" in the kit, but I cut it and scratchbuilt the underpinnings to make an open roof. My goal was to create the ultimate Dragon Runner!

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
I've got a friend really into building models of older cars, lots of research to get everything right and lots of fab work. I admire folks that can do that level of detail.
Me; I measure with a micrometer, mark with a grease pencil, cut with an axe and caulk to fit!

Yeah, I was all over my sunroof assembly with dial calipers to get it right. Really helps when your model pattern is out in the garage!
Your comment reminds me of something I saw hand-lettered on the trunk of an old Nova drag racer long ago;
"Measure with a yardstick, mark it with chalk, cut it with a torch"

Found it at Target today. It was knocked off the peg and on the shelf behind some other stuff. Number on the back is: CKJVUFFH
Still looking for the poptop, but I haven't made it to K-Mart yet, that's on tomorrows list of exciting things to do
sure. go ahead, see what you got. let me know if you want one or 2 of the pop tops, I got 2 for you in case you needed them. I know you like to open one and keep one in the package.
I picked up a bunch of the Siku brand (like Hotwheels) Minis..."Polizei" and "Follow Me" models plus some other cool ones... Also found a stash of the blue/British Jack top "Carrera GO!!" 1:43 scale slot cars.

Pics when I can find my camera!
I'm a sucker for the Polizei, Fire and Airport versions!
I've managed to pick up the 1:18th and 1:87th scale "Follow Me" cars but the Siku are hard to find around here
