Too cold to go camping...

...but warm enough to pretend with three new additions to my camper collection! I would have removed the base from the Renault but I don't have one of those three-pointed screwdrivers.

These include a Perfex 1951 Renault R2060 Goelette Camping Car (limited series of 150):

A Schuco Pro.R43 VW K?fer Wohnmobil (1/500):

And a 1971 Renault 4 Trafic, a parts work piece that's been featured here before:

I like them all, although I prefer the AutoCult version of the VW camper a little more as it's less chunky looking.

Randy, very nice. I saw the odd (appropriate word) VW motorhome on the road in the 1970's. The builder seems to have captured its appeaance very well.

Sweet! I really like both of the Renault's.

The VW is nice too but, for me anyway, I've just about had my fill of VW campers. Might be room for a couple more but, I'd like to add a little more variety.

Roadworthy?

I can only imagine how slow it would have been moving...

I love these! Despite my misgivings I'm really getting into camping vehicles...

not literally as they're 1:43! However, as we now have two real ones I'm beginning to take note of this new (to me) subject
