thought you lot might want to see my "stockpile pictures"
here we go :

SORRY FOR TERRIBLE PICS, THEY ARE FROM MY PHONE CAMERA.

1st pic - a slightly large selection of my small scales(and the odd austin a60 with cut wings), i really need to get them "worked on"

Posted Image

2nd pic - my two polistil models - a badly "glads stlye" painted xj12, achieved by cheap primer and paint reactions, and a volvo 240 which is almost finished and ready for signwriting. the xj12 has now had wings cut and had its first coat of tamiya sky blue.

Posted Image

3rd pic, two austin landcrabs

Posted Image

4th pic, a lot i "picked up" from a toy fair last week

Posted Image

5th pic, my shelf of "to do's" and my granada collection (granadas will NOT be bangered)

Posted Image

6th pic, JUST the "to do" shelf

Posted Image

i'm sure you will agree, i have a lot to work through, and that actually isn't all of them!

a few that i didnt picture include :

husky ford zephyr 6 estate.
fourgon ice cream van
matchbox vauxhall victor estate
and a heck of a load more!

and also a few others.

first up, a rover 2000 i did in my colours.

Posted Image

not the best, but im happy with it

next, a "used" mk3 escort xr3i, in team 3 litre colours, awaiting sign writing and the interior to be cut down prepperly.

Posted Image

penultimately, we have a mk2 cavalier in preds (typically crap :P) colours, which awaits sign writing, and a rover p4 in team 3 litre colours which also awaits sign writing.

Posted Image

Posted Image

and finally, a selection of my car i have started, but not flly completed yet. the pullman will be going as "hitmen" and will be a replica of the truly awesome mercedes they raced, the a60 im struggling for ideas for, probably brian "webby" webb and the jag is going as suicude squad.

Posted Image

sorry for the weird angles, but my grandad took the pics, not me lol

forgot to add, the colours on the jag are very rough, and will be neatened up when the model is complete

all comments welcome!
