34theletterbetweenB&D Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Didn't really want to put this in the 'serious' vehicles section. I am charged with making a joke model vehicle to go on top of a cake at a silver wedding anniversary. It's to be a hybrid of the 'Horfix' breed to represent the ideal vehicle for their joint choice of wheels (Him: Landy, Beemer, Her: small Honda) so I would like to cement together some sort of Landmerda. So, what's out there in one thirty second scale or thereabouts, ideally all for under a fiver? Me, mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'd go for the 20p box at any Boot Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Colin Posted March 29, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2012 Any model shop will probably have a couple in the "under a quid" box. A Spanish(?) firm called Eko used to market a big range of plastic HO scale cars and trucks which can be had very cheaply. For a Land Rover, the old Mk1 from the Airfix Bloodhound missile kit sometimes crops up - often minus a wheel or 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'd go for the 20p box at any Boot Sale. They still happen? I thought that all ended back in the Major Bliar epoch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Cararama had a range of cheap models in 1:76, 1:72 and 1:43, usually around the 5 - 6 pound range for the laregr scale, although, as they are diecast models with plastic bits, they may be a little more difficult to hack into your hybrid. I think they have branched out into larger scales but I don't know the prices for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
