I was hoping just to bend the roof but it's made of that horribe brittle metal so it just snapped - still looks pretty cool though and it's in the right scale for my diorama jacking train |

Dan - looky at the other Volvo! Realistic or what! I'm incredibly pleased with this one and want more of this casting
I just need to fill in some gaps with epoxy putty and then it'll look great ![]() ![]() ![]() It's hard to believe that I didn't use a vice for this, just 2 sets of long nose pliers |

Nice work with the Zylmex Volvo! And I'd love to see some more pics of that Seville in the background. |

I've now taken it upon myself to turn all my earlier bangers into damaged cars, then repaint them better. If you thought the Volvo was great, look at these 2 beauties. Mercury. I had to make the best of a botched rear job on this, it didn't go quite as planned. Partly due to the rivets ![]() ![]() ![]() But this is easily me best (and most outrageous) one yet. A snapped BMW 3-Series. The snapping effect was accidental, I was bending the bonnet up, it snapped in two and ripped the entire body downwards . I filled in the gaping holes with epoxy putty and it looks very, very awesome![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Inside view of the Beemer. It looks crude but it will be painted. ![]() |

I've seen a load of Citroen models like that at Toy Fairs.I think they come from one of those magazines that have a model with each issue.There's an Ambulance which would make a good Hearse model & they usually sell for around 3.00

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/banger-model-simon-r...1QQcmdZViewItem What really annoys me about these sellers is that they buy any diecast with 'Banger Racing' in the title, often paying high prices, just to make crud like this

Good luck with selling them - I haven't got enough spare ones at the moment, I'm strictly doing them to order, much safer that way BTW how much you going to charge for them? |

I was formerly 155V6 but was suddenly unable to post due to some unknown problem,even re-registered under a different name but still no luck.Anyway,I'm back now. You can get tyres from Toy Fairs,just need to take the car along & match them up.

. I filled in the gaping holes with epoxy putty and it looks very, very awesome
