Some New Displays
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2016 1:51 am
My model room is very modest at this stage. I have a few bits on display in my storage room - but one day!!!!!!
I've used all the space I can, even the inside of the door!
The first display is a Japanese Yesteryear display cabinet containing;
Top Row; Y-12 1912 Ford Model T Van. It is completely plastic and pulls apart. Very much like the Matchbox Plug Buggies from the early 1970's. I think it's a Polish copy.
Y-3 1912 Model T Ford Tanker. I have this model because I have the Fathers Day promotion that it goes with.
Y-12 1937 GMC Van. MICA Star winners van
Middle Row; Y-24 1928 Bugatti Type 44. Chinese copy with friction engine and opening doors. In some ways I'm surprised Matchbox didn't do something like adding friction drive to the Yesteryears to add play value to them and catcher a younger audience.
Y-11 Packard Landaulet. This was my first Yesteryear. At the same time my dad bought a Y-10 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost.
Lledo Double Decker Bus. These were commissioned by Paul Carr. This is one of five hundred.
Bottom row; Y-8 1945 MG TD. Just happened to be hanging around so got put in the display!
Y-20 Mercedes Benz 540K, similar to above although both models knowing me are likely to be Gusval copies.
Y-24 1928 Bugatti Type 44. The same as the one in the middle row. One also came in blue and silver.
These two displays are made form old boutique wine bottle cases. I just put some stick on felt on the shelves and away we go.
Some old 60's models and some 2000's models
This is the start of my transitional display.
Probably not up to the standard of other members transitional collections but it gives me some thing to work on as I have just about everything else.
