Corgi restoration no.2. Well...this turned into a bit of a mess (still learning)! The blue is a shade or so too dark, I got some bleedthrough thanks to using the wrong type of masking tape, & I totally messed up the water-slide for the licence plate...I will revisit this...eventually. 😮💨

Early Christmas present.
Expected this to smell of overheating electronics given the name. 😆
It's not actually too bad...maybe a tad too fruity, but that's purely personal taste.

Another rare (for the UK) Gobot pick-up - MR-10 Fire Robo. Renamed Pumper 🙄 by Tonka for the North American release. This one never saw distribution outside of Japan & the US.

When you go back to that book series you paused 'a couple of years ago' & get the message - you last purchased from this series in 2014'!!😶
Where did that decade go??

Edutainment!
Yeah...no idea why I picked these up other than they stood out being huge hardback sized cases. 😁

Angie's just had confirmation that she is getting the Winter fuel allowance (that not making me feel old at all! 😅)...cue me begrudgingly turning the thermostat from 16°c to 17.

1960s Sunbeam.
Bit more of a challenge as this started life as a police car (not that you could tell in its current state).

Bit annoying seeing all this autism is caused by paracetamol stuff.
I checked with my mum & she never took it while carrying me.
She did what most pregnant teens did in the 70s- drank, smoked & partied without a care in the world. 😆

One restored 57 year old Corgi 277 Monkeemobile (now with 100% more Micky Dolenz)!
Not completely happy with it (really need a airbrush for something like this), but it's looking better than it was. 😊

Some tit (me) has been watching too many Corgi/Dinky restoration vids & now has the bug. 😅
I'm probably going to regret not starting on something simple & going for this very play worn Monkeemobile...it's so bad even the little Micky Dolenz figure has done a runner! 😆

Woke up to this playing in my brain. Not sure where it got dredged up from, or why? 🤪

New robot pick up. Machine Robo Sanitation Robo (my autistic brain loves the simple Japanese naming convention of these toys). This one was released in the west with the name Fly Trap & had an orange cab, but only in Canada & the US, so a rare find in the UK. 😁

Screw Osteoporosis! 😮💨
At least we are (mostly) mobile again.
Angies promised to swallow her pride & start walking with a stick once she's on her feet again...which is good as all this time off is getting expensive.

I'm now at the age that when people manage to mispronounce both my first name (old english) as well as my surname name (dutch) I no longer correct them & just say 'close enough'.

It's nice to have your slots expanded occasionally. 🫤
Finally have a Plus 1 for the Electron after 2 years of waiting for a cheap one to turn up.
No upgraded chips though (had to check 😆), but not surprising at this price.
