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.

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

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.

A very well presented and quality pictured way of making a desk calendar.
My compliments.

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.
