Workbench WIP
I came across some really nice miniature 1/18 scale petrol (gas) pumps recently in a city centre toy shop. Some are the conventional “oblong” shape and others are I suppose, more “bottle” shape and each one carries the branding of the fuel it dispenses – (real or imaginary names, I can’t say as I’ve never heard of any of them).

A “Classic” postcard from Silverstone 2013!

John Surtees 1:20 driver figure and Ebbro Honda RA301
Some shots of my RA301 together with a GF-models figure painted up to represent “Big John”. I’ve always liked this diecast although I’m hoping that Ebbro will bring one out in plastic kit form – it would have such potential and loads of appeal!
