New Vehicles arrive to transport people around town

I got these off trade me the other day. The 2 smaller buses were about NZ$12 each. The bigger bus and tram were NZ$22 each I think. All are made by Corgi.

Really like them - will probably dull coat them but not sure whether to shade them too though.

Battle of the Matchbox Vs Lledo - updated

I received some more cars in the post yesterday from another Trade me win. I wasn't intending to get these but they were on at $2 a van for 3 so just bid on the off chance.

Having got them I am again struck by the huge difference in size compared to the Lledo ones.

I don't have the figures yet to compare but definitely think that the Matchbox ones are the way to go

Another successful bid on Trade Me

My successes in picking up good planes cheap continues with this Stinson Reliance




Picked up for $15 - Just need to work out what colour scheme I want it to have

Car Comparrison

I am waiting on my first figures from Pulp figures  (http://pulpfigures.com/) so am feeling a bit unsure about how big they are. When I was much younger and played D and D the figures seemed a good size but now I am middle aged and eyes are not so good I am worried - they look tiny in some of the shots I've seen.

Added to this I have been stocking up on some cars. I got some Matchbox yesteryear cars from Trade me and also some Lledo trucks. I wanted the Lledo ones as there was a great yellow taxi in the set. Now that I have the 2 kinds together though, the Matchbox ones seem huge to my eye

However when I check them out in the photo they don't seem too different from each other - not sure what to make of that.

A ruler definitely suggests the MB car is bigger.

Love that Taxi though!! I am thinking of putting a black and white checkerboard pattern down the side as per the Bogart film I saw the other day.
