Holy Smeg !!!! That's one motherfrakking HUGE box !!!
Seriously, here are the measurements (in cm): Length: 19 cm ; width : 10 cm ; height : 10,5 cm. Putting it in my display case will be impossible. At least not without some major rearrangements (and I'm talking about putting one shelf out, not just displacing a car).
By comparison, a regular box is 15 X 9 X 6 cm, a tall box (eg the Acrostar) is 15 X 9 X 8 cm, and a long box (the Bondola) is 19 X 9 X 7,5 cm (give or take one mm or two).
As for the model, it's fantastic. Now if I could find my triangular screwdriver head to put it in the right position...
$-)
I can't. Find one anywhere !!! .
Edit: it has. Noice...
Curiously, I saw one at the WH Smith in Paris today. Didn't know they were selling it.
;)) I am VERY suspicious too Samuel. Plenty more models still not done! Looking foward to getting the Louisiana police car and the Milkfloat!
Cheers samuel, had my suspicions it may have been? Thanks for the confirmation though.
But I bet we can all name more than 5 cars from the latest film.
Fingers crossed they do end it, as I for one can not give much more space up for the collection
I do understand you, largo2. If I had stayed at my old flat, I really don't know if I could have kept up with it (or at least how I could have exposed the cars).
But at least, this collection has allowed me to devise some rules for people who want to start a similar collection.
1) Don't start a collection if you don't have the money to afford it. By which, I mean enough money in your disposable income (those pounds, dollars or euros you have left once you have paid the essentials) to afford as many cars of figurines or whatever the collection is per month.
2) Don't start a collection if you don't have the agreement of the person(s) you live with. They might have other ideas about the space you'll have to dedicate to the collection (and even want to start a collection of their own).
3), and that's the most important part: Don't start a collection unless you have enough free space to store or expose it. If you may be able to scrounge enough money for the first point, and manage to obtain the agreement of your partner, or parents, or spouse, or flatmates, you will be quickly remembered that your flat or house is not the Tardis.
As for how to expose the collection, well, it depends of what the collection is. One word of advice, though: if you have a child or a cat, go directly for a display case.
Any other things I may have forgotten ?
I have every one of these cars in boxes in my garage and I won't display them until it ends having already outgrown one cabinet I won't make the same mistake again.
In fact, it does. When I say "enough space", I mean "see big". Have at least enough to expose a hundred models (given that space requirements change depending on what the collection is: figurines take less space than cars, which take less space than 1/72 planes). Let's remember that the collection started at 40 models, but we knew it would be extended. The other rules apply, given that the price for the models is monthly, and that you have to convince the people who live with you to give you enough space.
Personnaly, I have enough space left for one, maybe two display cases (I have already three, soon full to the brim). But I won't be able to start any other collection, that's for sure. Not now (for monetary reasons), not ever (for space reasons).
Looks great. Still no word on whether issue 135 is the last or not.
Maybe cus it's the most famous Milk Float in the WORLD? LOL
