As some of you know we are planning to move house despite the first sale falling through !.... we are, Fingers Crossed all concerned sign the contracts on the due date, back on track to move.
So today I started to prepare the models for transport again !..... there were a few casualties, mudflaps, door mirrors, aerials roof spoilers etc falling off so they will need gluing back on before being displayed again.

Taking the models out of the display cases, cutting lengths of bubble wrap, placing the display cases on their back and carefully laying the cars back in.... what a ball ache !

All very well for the Models in their cosy wrapping, but that plant needs a drop of water?

Phil. Good luck with the move and the models.
If you can't do your traditional garage day, just shout and Skipton will be available.
Regards Steve

Good luck to you both, enjoy the move... no pressure but your new gaff does have a big drive doesn't it ?

Make sure the display cases are well fastened to the (new) wall Phil. Oh, and someone trustworthy is lifting and carrying!

You are correct there...... it's quite surprising how heavy each case is !

Very generous of you to move just so you can host bigger Garage Days Phil ;)

Joking aside, fingers crossed all goes to plan. Only done it 3 times, but I bloody hate buying houses......

Hi All
As many of you know we have finally moved house and have settled in quite quickly, still lots to do on the house front but we are getting there!
Some may have seen the new location of the model collection via Facebook, for those who haven't here are a couple of photo's.
The collection now stands at 381 (1:43 - 1:24 - 1:18 - 1:12 - 1:8 - 1:1 LB :cool:) with 16 at 1:43 ready to be built.
cheers
Phil

I'm guessing the primary consideration when choosing a new place was somewhere to put all those cars.... ;)

....oh, and just the one bedroom so nobody can stop over :) :)
