Sample Sunday! Here is the very first G Nose sample FM produced. The yellow is much darker than the later ones, the bumpers are not chromed, and the steering mechanism is different from the orange and white production cars. Enjoy! Be sure to come back tomorrow to see the second version of FM’s G Nose.

@lu looks great in yellow. I dont recall a long nose production version from FM? I have a Spark and M2 long nose versions. Great to see you posting your unique and intriguing collection Lu, thanks

Sample Monday! Here is the second version of the G Nose. The color has been corrected, but the sticker on the rear side window is misplaced. The antenna is retractable. The last photo shows the finalized version of the G-Nose. For more pictures, please refer to page 46. Enjoy!

Bonus Monday! I’m attending an automotive conference and spotted these vehicles on display. The BYD Seagull, with an MSRP of $11,500, has the potential to disrupt the EV landscape if it is allowed to enter the US market. In case you are curious, here is an article on the BYD Seagull: https://jalopnik.com/cheap-byd-seagull-could-become-chinas-bestselling-ev-1850353970

thanks Lu, prefer the corrected yellow. Interesting FM went to (mostly) chrome bumpers. I kinda prefer the black. Ebbros version (which I incorrectly called Spark the other day) bumpers are black.

Cool cars Lu!  That Guggenheim looks wicked fast! And the Seagull is very interesting.

Probably so inexpensive because it runs on 2,000 AAA batteries - not included. LOL! Looks promising!

Fun Tuesday! Here we have a Porsche 911 Carrera RS from Ebbro. The yellow version can be seen on page 53. Enjoy!

Off-Road Tuesday! Today we have a Raupenschlepper RSO Tracked Tractor from MTT, a small British shop. Crafted from tin, similar to Gonio, these models are labor-intensive, handmade gems. Photos simply can't capture their true essence. Most, if not all, of MTT's products represent WWII German systems. If there's interest, I can showcase a few more pieces.
