We've had a lot of discussion over the past months/years about what to do with our collections when we downsize, move to a nursing home, etc.  I have taken some recent advice and will now start to destroy all my 1/43.  I am starting with all the old Rio and Brumm, that no one collects anymore. After that Yesteryears and Solidos...

April Fools

Having met Karl and knowing his gentle disposition and love of cars, there is no way he would do this.

Reminds me of what I did to an Automodello Avanti a few years ago.

Those Brumm carriages don't need your help, unfortunately. They crumble just fine by themself.

Tony - The one I had ordered had a small manufacturing flaw. Jim Cowen offered to replace it, without me having to send back the box with it's LE info, if I destroyed the faulty one and sent him pictures. It was an LE of 50 in Avanti Turquoise Metallic, and he wanted to be sure there wouldn't be a 51st out there. Hence the destruction. I recall this was also my April Fool's joke back in 2014. Here's the good one:
