from what i can tell they look good (kinda hard to see with thumbnails lol.....what a collection though!.....any chance of getting large pics of the mazda rotaries??? really would like to see them

Looks like everybody clicking on the link has exceeded the daily bandwith. You should find a way to post biger pictures, thumbnails are just a tease!

Hey Michael, nice collection you have going there - are you trying to model one of everything Tamiya has ever made?

I notice on your website that some of your models were bought from 'Coopers of Bridlington'. Do they still exist? I have been living in Leeds for a while, and have mainly visited P & S Hobbies at York or The Model Centre in Leeds, but I'd like to have a look somewhere else. Oh yeah - where is there a Beatties store near Leeds?

Grant.

hi mate

thats true, im trying to model every Tamiya cars they made, plus a few from others that i'd like that are unique and weired like that Diahatsu Midget. also theres a few kits that i'd like to get thats difficult to find

as for Coopers, sure they do exist, havent been for a year and a half when my parents lived over there now they moved back to Leeds

as for Beatties, they closed down a few years back, u know Headrow Centre, formerly Scofields Centre, down the right hand side - manager used to work there before opened Leeds Model Centre

I thought that might be the one. When I first moved to Leeds the phone book still had a listing for Brittania models - spent a long time looking for that shop before I realised it was closed!

thats true, another one bit the dust
didnt really liked Brittania as it was a small shop and didnt have much japanese car kits had a lot of amt kits and other aircraft and military - had to order a few of the kits though

how long have u lived in leeds? and your profile is empty

Sounds like I didn't miss too much with Brittania.

I have lived in Leeds for a little over 2 years - moved from Oz (so don't mention the ODI at Headingley yesterday ).
