Some of my latest Oxford Die Cast vehicles for use on dioramas as a quick way to add interest to a scene. All will be detailed or weathered when used as there are no mirrors or little details like tax discs. The Land Rover Defender, of which I have many, will be used to populate an MOD train. I like the little J2 crew bus, tractors and early RAF Land Rover.
The civilian vehicles will be used to populate my 1970/80's layout and with the variety of vehicles that I have I can mix them up to refresh the look and give an impression of movement during a running session.

Those civilian cars look just like the old matchbox ones I used to have as a kid before they changed them to all plastic wheels :)

I wish somewhere local to me specialized in cars. Wonderland has a good few but it's not a big deal. I wish this hobby Was a lot more popular here haha.


Was at the Scottish model show yesterday and there was little to no cars and sci fi but the show was good in general. Everyone seems to love planes and armour.

I agree dougie the shows and model shops have limited stock or mainly aim to stock aircraft/armour which i also like so pretty open to any type of model :)
