Update on trackside structures

Just an update on trackside structures I am working on.The first shot is a small grandstand with a press box on top.There are over 200 figures on this unit.The second is a 2 section,20 row set of bleachers.This unit has over 500 figures on it.the third shot is 3 restrooms like the ones tracks used before porta-pots came along.The forth shot is the start of a pit garage with 5 bays on each side.the fifth shot is a small 3 section bleachers.there are about 200 figures on this unit so far.The last shot is a 3 section set of bleachers,20 rows high.I hate to think about how many figures this one will take.It is a lot of work putting the figures on,but I think the over all effect is worth the time and work.

Four more Matchbox Powertrack 6V cars from the U.K. I reckon these cars look fantastic and are very well built too. The red Ford Escort is the only newer style British Escort I have and I don't know why the other makers didn't give this model a go. It looks great ! Some VHTF Tomy AFX cars thrown in for good measure. Read more about Recent Purchases

A nice mixed bag here with some older Faller cars and a Model Motoring Cobra TJet body from the mid 1960's. Read more about Recent Purchases

Recent Purchases

A mixed lot here all acquired from the U.S and the U.K including a very rare carded AFX Capri which astonishingly attracted very little attention. I can only put it down to an incorrectly spelled listing for an AFX "Carpi" instead of Capri. Thanks to Ray, I got this rare bird very cheap indeed and even with added postage costs from the U.S, it still came well under what I'd expect to pay for one in this condition.

Finally Finished

Well Guys, I finally got finished with the Willys project. It's been a great experience and I have learned so much with respect to modeling a slot car. I really appreciate everyone's input along the way. I think it turned out fairly well.  :-)

Vincent Wheels Germany Part1

I've mentioned the fantastic range of trick rims available for TJets, Tomy and Tyco cars from Vincent Wheels in Germany on several occassions now. These come quite cheap factory direct and he won't nail you for outrageous postage either. You can choose different widths and styles from Vincent's and these all look HOT! This recent shipment is for Tyco/Tomy cars but his range for TJets is extremely extensive so I highly recommend you take a peek at the website. Read more about Vincent Wheels Germany Part1
