As I've done before, when I set up a new diorama I usually bring out several models to participate in the photoshoot. The Ford Service set was no exception. Here's a couple of models, one from each side of the pond.
1st is a model from Crossways Models - 1951 Armstrong Siddeley Hurricane Drop Head Coupe
2nd is a model from the Goldvarg Collection - 1961 Mercury Monterey Hardtop Coupe

Crossway made some excellent models; I missed this Siddeley though. The Goldvarg '61 Mercury is a very nice model which I have.

Two unusually seen models, unusually photo'ed VERY nicely!

John, that Armstrong Siddeley is drop dead gorgeous. I have a friend who has two 1/1 Siddeleys one of which is a pickup truck and the other is a saloon (sedan).

Great dioramas, John. Thanks for all the effort you put into these photo shoots.They've become part of the Zone's DNA.

A much earlier Armstrong Siddeley.

I have this one in my Dinky collection as well Harv!

Another Siddeley, by Oxford. This represents Sir Malcomb Campbell's ride, when he wasn't at the salt flats or on water somewhere. Hence the particular bright blue color.

Oxford makes excellent models for the cost IMHO.

Very Harv. I thought your photo looked familiar, so I checked my database. Surprise, I have that model as well. I'd completely forgotten about it.

@jack-dodds Or they did. I haven't seen a new 1:43 from them in quite some time. Last one I bought was in 2022.
