A Desk Calendar of Models
Re: A Desk Calendar of Models
Looks great George, look forward to seeing it in hand as I have all your other calenders, I now consider them a collectors item.
This years "Major Packs" range has been a great adornment to my desk over the year.
Many thanks

I never played with Regular Wheels as a child; I was born almost a decade after that era ended. My interest comes from Regular Wheels being beautiful in their simplicity, that a lot of them have moving parts (something sadly absent from currently available toy die-cast), and that Lesney were not successful with their in-house designs.mbox2000 wrote:My only interest in the Superfast range is really the transitional so and you have captured some of the best. I suppose my RW interest is from playing with them as a child. I wonder how many other members feel the same.
Beautiful pictures for the calendar. To expand on radar's comment, a "quintessentially British" theme might be a good one.

Hello Radar and Squid I can only put 12 photos in a yearly calendar, and apart from that very few British cars made it to Superfast models.
A few commercial models did So maybe in a calendar for 2017.
Thank you all for the comments, as it gives me great pleasure to do these calendars

Re: A Desk Calendar of Models
Lovely idea and great photos.
I'm guessing this is some form of ring bound, flip calendar (just flashed through my mind - did I ask the same question last year????).
Think you've motivated me to have a go at one of my own after seeing those photos.

Re: A Desk Calendar of Models
Hello Jay and others here is a photo of the calendar, you are correct tractorboy it is a metal ring binder.
As I send one to Greg (Molars) in the USA I have to put a customs label on the Jiffy envelope.
The size is 180 mm x 185 mm and the photo is 150 mm x 100 mm.
So here is the 1st month of the calendar.
