Accessory, major & kingsize casting show

Post by nickjones »

It has been suggested that we do a casting show for these larger scale models, It would also be good if we could work out the different variations for each model as we went along so I could add a variation table to the guide pages, who's up for it ?.

Wonderful idea. If this happens, I'd like to see good photos of all six sides of each model. It would also be nice to keep Majors, Kings and Super Kings each in their own catagory. Accessory Pack car carriers could go with Majors if need be.

If memory serves, (almost) all the Major and Accessory packs were covered by U.K. Matchbox, so I would suggest that we take those listings as our basis and them refine them.
