Ideas wanted

I have just recently bought myself a new free standing cabinet. With the base there is 8 shelves to fill which 5 are full of MG's of different types and scale's. Was going to just stick with the MG's but.........................

I Have a wall cabinet mounted in the same room empty. It will hold 35 to 42 1/43 scale models. Do i keep it or do i fill it.

Dilema is what with and what type/sort?

Any sensible ideas   

Well we all know what sunstar are like, they really like to milk a model, so there will be loads of 1/18 variations as well as a few code 3s. Keep it for 1/18s

It's not big enough for 1/18's.

All my MG's are in the big one.

I reckon a mix of rallying sports cars would look great. BMW M1, Alpine A110, 911, Stratos, Aston V8, things like that. Damn, now that's got me thinking...

well chris you used to love your mantas, you can get up to 35 or so 1:43 versions......how about goin back to the magic opel?   

Decision decision    Had thought about a mixture but then as you say Billy the old Manta's do look good   

3door sierra cosworths I'm trying to stop myself collecting them

Thought of them Graham but the problem there is i would want the BTCC cars as well. Some great liveries.

i would only collect the trofeu ones they are nice

Yeah definately the better model by far.

Chris,

You asked for sensible ideas, and for once, I'll be sensible!    Here goes!

Why not do what I have done and collect yourself some road and track MG models in 1/43?

I've got some superb models of most MG models from the MG ZA and ZB Magnettes, the 1100, Midget, B, BGT, MGB GT V8, Metro 1300, MG RV8, SV8 and even an MG 3SW (the Chinese version of the Rover 25 Streetwise). I even have an MG ZR S2000 rally car.

There will be space for the current and future MG models as they are produced (here's hoping!) in 1/43 scale too. NEO are about to produce a Mk2 MG metro Turbo model, so I'm anticipating making all sorts of racing variations of that. I may even get to build a Mk 3 or 4 Magnette kit, as K&R do these.

You're an MG man, like myself, so you know it makes sense!!!!   

Cheers, Steve

Already doing it Steve. My big free standing cabinet is getting filled up gradually of MG's. 1/43 and 1/18 plus one 1/16   

I have an empty wall cabinet that needs something to go in it but only 1/43 scale.

Plus i have another wall cabinet to put up. Where yet i don't know but the wife won't allow it in the bedroom   

.The good lady wont allow it in the bedroom? I feel the need for a titter ye not comment.....
