This is a diecast 1/50 scale that I did. Wasn’t happy with how it turned out but I suppose it’s ok from a distance.0

That looks pretty neat. I couldn’t do that to be fair. I can just about paint a door.
Anyone ever made a model of a stobart stuck under a bridge? You could make the little figures standing around it. One with little hands in the air looking all annoyed (could be railways), a little driver figure sitting on grass with head in hands wearing a tiny hi viz and a nosey Parker figure pointing a tiny camera. You could use scraps of real broken bridges and feature it in the scene.
Just some ideas. Something different for you all.

1Looks a nice job to me
I bought a couple to paint into my colours, but don’t have the steady enough hand to do them
It’s not too difficult tbh. Use a good quality masking tape (Tamiya make a good one about 1/8" wide). The lettering on my diecast one is done by using waterslide decals. The bigger model I did has vinyl lettering.

i would’nt mind that as a hobby , but dont tell anyone will ya … 
you need to put pictures up aswell , just for research purposes you understand … 
I havent got any pics at the mo sorry mate. It is a good hobby as you can build up a dream fleet of trucks 
Yes i do get alot off ebay, have a few direct from corgi and a couple of wsi, about 30 in all 
added up the other week what i have spent and i could of had a good holiday on it 
Might be sad to some people, but it’s my money
You got some nice models there mate. Thanks for posting them up. 
Do I spot a Munton Foden in there.? They were local to me. 
Very nice models… I have this rather cruder beast, who’s going to be first to identify it?

Yep I collect them, but havent bought any for ages, nor do I have the room for any out where we are now 
Want to build a model railway though…
MTL heavy haulage aberdeen

Some awesome models so far keep em coming chaps. Steady I am over in Heckington mate so knew about Muntons Heavy Haulage. I know one of their old drivers Ivan Ashton does the name ring a bell.
steadymabo:
Yes i do
I have that DAF 3600. From wsi! Need a decent looking fridge trailer for it though, what have you got behind it dude. Looks ace.
Anyone else noticed there is a lack of 70’s early 80’s trucks on the market.
yep i collect too, got about 60 in pickfords livery, and aload of different hauliers in corgi classics as well as brewery, a couple of heavy haulage stuff A.L.E. Wynns… also collect models of ford capris… sad i know but someone has to like them…
used to get a few of ebay when it first started up, at good prices but too many dealers on there now, though i used to buy from another auction and sell on ebay myself, die cast/ model railway and britains stuff…, used to use vectis auctions, not sure if they still going but they specialised in toys/models, used to buy job lots and then split them keep what i wanted and sell the rest on… made a bit of money from it as well as enhancing my own collection and enjoyed doing it,
Vectis is still going strong, i regularly place bids with them vectis.co.uk/Page/Index.aspx
I used to collect Corgi 1:50 scale trucks, have about 100, mainly from toy fairs and Jumblies models, the dates of toy fairs are normally in Diecast Collector mag, but I’ve filled 3 large purpose built cabinets and have ran out of room, also gone into pond fish (3 ponds) and skiing on dry slope, but still have a look at the latest models, try SP Models at Snetterton (A11) Norfolk if you are in that area.
