Does he have any known dealings with Nik Still as these look like his sort of work

Birds of a feather....

I still think a section on this site with as many of Nik_Stils photos as possible would be invaluable for future cross referencing.

Hi all, makes me feel sick when I see so many fakes about. A lot of the small auction houses seem to be over whelmed with them Pete

OK- so Cudasub has been exposed. All that rare metal. The paint on the Cougar did it for me. It looked alittle thick, and off color. Anyone else?

It looked very odd to me. Darker (more mustardy? ) and much thicker than the paint on mine. Not to mention the front windscreen , as Numi stated.

No comparison Hugh those Corgi models were rare but not hard to find in fact you see them listed often. His Matchbox collection had any of it been genuine was in a different league.

Nothing rare about this model is there as Nik_Stil recently bought it.
