Title: cheap cars and vehicles
Post by: Sunray on 21 November 2015, 11:03:16 PM
I was surfing the Grinning Shull site, and see he has discovered a £1 pack of Poundland cars that are "close" to 1/150 or 10mm.
Burning rubber  Micro Racers although they appear under other Micro titles as the Chinese suppliers knock them oot.

I looked at a few of them - they are Micro Machine ripoffs.   When I used Micro Machines, I toned down the paint and sandpapered the tyres down to scale - and  filed away spoilers etc.   The police car, the salon and the 4x4 all have potential.

The worst can supplement a street barricade as burnt out wrecks  and the best - at £1 for 12 - with a paint job will do nicely.
