Hi,

Just thought I'd show you the latest code 3 Mini Van based on a Matchbox Mini Van. Ron Williams and I have made these to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Mini Van!

Each model has been taken apart, stripped of the paint, roof vent linished off, and then bead blasted, primed and painted in 2 pack paint. The paint colour is actually a BMC colour; crystal white!!

They are then screwed back together and waterslide decals applied (printed on a professional laser printer at 1200dpi).

Each Model has a die-cut box and certificate, they are limited to 50, and the model, box and certificate are ALL individually numbered!

(colours are a little off as some shots were on a blue background!)

If anyone is interested I'll be at the Muster with a small swap meet site, if you're not going to be there and still want one send me a pm!
($30 each plus postage)

Thanks
Matthew

Hi Everyone,

Thanks so much for the good feedback about the models, it's always great to hear!

These have been sent to collectors in the UK, Netherlands, Cyprus, & Portugal, so that is a buzz as well!

Hope you all enjoy them!

Matthew
