Dusty Gasland Ferraris

Very Dusty Matchbox Diecasts.

My Brother sent me a huge box of Die-cast cars.

I repainted the cars a bit. They got dusty! Whoops!


Added some spares to represent guns mounted over the roof and engine.

The Shipping Containers I picked up and still pick up whenever I see them at a good price. I have paid £1 each for them and sometimes as little as 20p a time. Great for many uses in themselves.

NEC WIP Adventure 2000 finds.

Adventure 2000 Vehicles under WIP section.

This is the Front section of the Raider Command or JD Kill-Dozer. This is for a long range recon mission.

The Scrambler is a Hot Wheel took me ages to find one! Still being painted here.

 I added a piece of plating from a tractor to this Missile Launcher. Mainly to hide the missing parts of the roof that had been broken off. Also I added card over the shattered windscreen in the front.

 The Complete Kill-Dozer with bits just started to be added to it. I will add a Gun Barrel to the upper launcher. Missiles are very rare for these vehicles in the state I buy them. Spares Box anyone?

 Little one man scout vehicles. They are called Planet Scouts in this range and are really a different scale to the other vehicles. Left is before painting and a colour variant. Lots of different metallic finishes were used so don't be surprised to find, Green, Light Green, Red, Blue or even Yellow.

 The Crudsader HT. Not one I got from the NEC this time but I like them.

 And this is a Lesney Explorer. Made into a Utility flatbed. 6 wheels and a bit of spares again.

As always with me. Lots of bits yet to be added. As soon as the Inspiration hits me.

A bit of an outing. Pictures to follow of TAT!

I had myself an outing to the NEC Barry Potter Toy Collectors Fair today.


As always a bit complicated for Me to get to. But I had a fabulous time digging through the Diecast Vehicles.


Loads of stuff that is way out of my price range. But there are always beaten up old pieces for anything from 20p to £1 or slightly more if you are willing.


I ended up adding even more Adventure 2000 to my already massive collection.


They are all in need of some love. But \I walked away (Or Staggered!) with 13 more vehicles. A nice little set of modellers pliers and a Hot Wheels Scrambler bike I have been looking for, needed to complete another Adventure 2000 vehicle conversion.


The lot cost me £25 and sore feet!


£7.50 to get into the show and my travel did add a bit on. But I could have spent a lot more.


Restraint was the watchword. Plus my shoulders were hurting from carrying my backpack.


Look out for Toy Fairs near you. Great for Conversion material!
