So...
First off is going to be the great little Standard 10 I got from Penelope Pitlane.
It's a lovely model and a very clean casting that needs hardly any clean up, and comes complete with glazing and decals. I was going to send away for a Penelope Pitlane chassis too but instead I'm going to try to use an old Monogram brass adjustable chassis in it, courtesy of Ron Baron in Vanouver, (thanks, Ron), and a set of steel type wheels from a (Marx?.. Eldon?) stock car. They take 1/8 inch axles which is perfect for the monogram chassis. I vaguely remember these cars from when I was a child.
I also have this 1/24 Sunbeam Rapier Mk1 which started life as a friction toy but is a nice-looking body and will go well with my Austin Cambridge and Ford Anglia. I'm looking forward to painting it, I'm thinking a two-tone paint job will be good.
Then theres this Scalextric Jag D-Type which I want to paint and put a new motor and wheels on it. I've taken off any removable body bits and the lights and windscreen to clean it. I'm thinking of putting a Romford Bulldog motor in it, not that these were really used back in the day because it's a train motor but it's a nice reliable little motor and I have one that needs to be used so what the heck...
More soon...
