DIE CAST TUESDAY - WEEKLY

Hello Tuesday !

 

And a good Tuesday to you too. An old airflow that I need to finish restoring.

 

Time to thin out one of my Cabinets.

 

I need to do a little thinning and some spring cleaning.

 

Childhood toy of mine that I still have.

 

COOL ! I loved playing with those trucks as a kid also. One of mine from 1961 Christmas.

 

I got the black Hot Rod as a kid at 7 or 8 ? Painted it many times. It looked like the red one when I got it originally. I don't know where I got that one??? lol

 

Great Tuesday to all !

 

Created another tabletop display with the rusty toy train passenger car I found a few weeks ago. Mounted it on wood saved from a 150 year old maple tree we cut down several years ago. Added some landscape pieces to make it look abandoned in nature. Big surprise when I put it near a window. The back lighting from the sun, made the ghostly figures of passengers visible in the train car. I guess I will now call this creation "the ghost train".

 

That is really cool, great job!

 

Wow you nailed it !

 

Good Tuesday. !

 

Recently got this one. I wonder if @rockable has one?


This is a recent pic he posted.

 

Great D.C.T. To ya.

 

I don't have that one! I have a larger plastic model.

 

You probably have these.

 

Not a die cast but a C/G !

 

Hoo boy!
Another I got years ago because they don't do 40s. You should be able to find one. They did a bunch of variations. There were many listed on the bay.
Obviously, the Matchbox is a reasonable pocket change purchase. The 1/18 on the secondary market is a steak dinner price.

 

I have the one on top. I'm not a model collector. A friend gave it to me.

 

Two fer toozdee: AMT 46 Ford; supposedly their 1st scale model and a souvenir of the 90th lndy 500; scored at the inagural dinner for the grand opening of the Andy Granatelli museum.

 

Hey there, @rockable just got back from the dollar store and guess what?
