I had vowed not to get into scale car collecting, but when I visited eminent scale Ford collector Dave Turner in England in 2001, he gave me a Vanguards Mk III Zephyr 4. I joked about it at the time, but it looked lonely on the shelf by itself, and then I discovered Minichamps! However ever since I was kid I was fascinated by dioramas, and this year my kids� interest in setting up a Christmas Village, merged with my pent up desire to put my scale Fords in front of an interesting background and here we are!
Just last week I actually bought a �O� scale model railroad enthusiast magazine, to see what might be possible. Next year�s Christmas Village might be a bit bigger.
Last night I was checking 1:43 scale Fords on e-bay Germany (50 pages) and Holland (80 pages!). Fascinating stuff, but I couldn�t stay up late enough to look at them all.
UPdate August 2017 -- I see that my Photobucket account has truly ended (I haven't paid them in years. I don't recall what all photos I first posted in this thread, but here are some early ones:
Try as he might, that mechanic is gonna have a devil of a job fitting that big ole Town and Country Tyre to any of those vehicles! Nice models. Thanks for posting
