I WANNA BE A REAL TOY

 With Pinocchio watching my every move I've begun to colour my Chopcycle.

Now where's Geppetto when you need him!

HILL CLIMBING MOON GRABBERS ANYONE?

Woodsy,

This toy offering from Wotan’s recent Hamleys catalogue post really caught my eye. 

Here’s a crop of the page. Do Moonbasers know about this series? They look great!

PAUL ADAMS' NEW DIECAST COLLECTOR ARTICLE: WONDER WOMAN JET

Reader and contributor Paul Adams has another article in the UK model car magazine DieCast Collector.

Paul's most recent article is about the Hot Wheels release of Wonder Woman's jet from the film Wonder Woman 84, which some readers may have seen.

The article is in the May 2024 issue. Its on sale from the 2nd April. Here's the cover.

Well done Paul!

Rip Code: Stop Gap Quickie

 After my Rrrumblers Rip Code Oven disaster I wanted a quick win and move on to something else.

Using a sweets coffin box, an old bike and a painted rider I knocked this up in an hour.

Rubbish I know but I've moved on to another Revvers.

CHOP CHOP!

 My latest project is inspired by Mattel's Chopcycles, the motorbike versions of Sizzlers.

I picked up two Matchbox Super Kings Mod Trailers to get me started, one for best and one spare. My chopper will be bigger than Mattel's.

I sawed off the tow bar, cleaned off the decals and painted the blue base yellow.

Large tyres were added and I've made a start on the engine with Junior's lego.

The engines extend all the way to the rear.

Finally today, I've cut out the back spoiler from a marg tub lid and glued it in position with the help of an apple.

Tomorrow I'll paint the spoiler and chrome the engine.

Time for a cuppa and Pilates!

ED'S ELDON EXTRAVAGANZA

Woodsy,

Here's a catalog that came with on of my toy Eldon airplanes some years back. It dates to about 1956 and when folded, is about the size of an index card.
