JB, you obviously know Jack Russells.

the first one I met had one eye and the aura of a coiled spring.....he waved a 5` two by four at me to test my mettle .....decided I was inconsequential and went back to thumping things with his board

Four-Door Monday! Today we have a 1970 Ford Falcon GTHO Phase II from Trax. In case you are wondering, GTHO stands for Grand Touring Handling Option. Enjoy!

what a remarkably successful topic you've started and maintained Lu. Possibly tells us a few things, most notably, which has already been mentioned, is the interest in 1/24. I guess numbers of actual people that have viewed would be hard to determine as many of us have viewed multiple times, but a real highlight and contribution. Thanks mate!

And here's the latest oldie from Hachette. A 1926 Citroën type C3 5hp Torpedo. Very small, especially beside a RR and even the 1924 Bugatti T35 is longer....

One arrived here yesterday. Hachette detail is improving all the time. According the the accompanying booklet this is no 38 in a series of Citroens. I have a few already with the Traction C7 Sedan and the SM Opera de Chapron on their way. Series goes from the 20s to pretty close to present day. Very "exotic" vehicle designs.

Alternative Thursday! Let’s take a look at Tesla’s futuristic looking semi. The model is nicely done, photo-etched badges, functional doors, and steerable front wheels. Now we just need someone to make a matching trailer.

USMC Friday! No HMMWVs today 😊 Here we have a 1996 Chevrolet Express van from Brookfield Collector’s Guild. I bought it at a toy show in Tucson many years ago. The rear barn doors are functional. If you have any background information, please feel free to share!

British Saturday! Today we have a factory-built 1952 Jaguar XK120 from Small Wheels. The car is known as the Montlhéry Fixed Head Coupe. In 1952, Stirling Moss, Jack Fairman, Bert Hadley and Leslie Johnson piloted the actual car for seven days and seven nights in Montlhéry at an average speed of 100.32 miles per hour, including all stops. Small Wheels did a great job on this one. The hood is functional, the engine bay is nicely replicated, and the paint is deep and rich with no defects. Enjoy!

Box Monday! Here we have a second generation Honda Odyssey promo. It is mostly a curbside model; however, the roof panel is removable. Very unique set up.
