A bit of humor

It's humpday and today is my Friday, so I thought I'd share some funny images to put a smile on your face.

New Construction from Motorart!

In our office, we see a lot of different models every day. Though we like all of them, sometimes we have a piece come in that everyone is dying to see. This Dynapac CC424 Asphalt Roller with Cabin from Motorart is a perfect example. As soon as the pictures hit our inbox, the staff here couldn't wait to get it in! We're sure that's how you'll feel about this cool 1/35 scale model too- don't miss out; get your order in today!

The new Volvo Articulated hauler A40E Dump Truck with Full Suspension is another great construction piece. In 1/50 scale, this is a vital model for any construction or diecast enthusiast. Motorart is really working to beat the competition this summer!

Military enthusiasts- take a look!

"Karl Hellebaut" - Wallonien Brigade Officer, 5.Freiwilligen-Sturmbrigade "Wallonien", Eastern Front 1944- this fine fellow would look excellent in your WWII displays- maybe standing next to one of our new tanks from Dragon?

For WWII enthusiasts, this tank is a must-own. The Armor Panzer IV Ausf.G 1."LAH" 1943 is incredibly detailed and historically accurate. This item just arrived and is sure to go fast- get your order in now!

Texaco planes have been announced!

We always have high expectations for each year's Texaco release, and wait in hopeful anticipation for their announcement. It's fun to see what they've decided to do next. We've just received information about the 2009 release, and it's attractive as ever! It's a Lockheed 12a Electra Jr. It was used as an eight-seat, six passenger all-metal transport designed for use by smaller airlines and private owners. At the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, this plane outsold the competing plane 2-1, although only 130 were ever built. This was also the plane in the movie Casablanca. (Information is from Wikipedia. Read more here.)

These always come in a regular edition as well as a special brushed metal edition. You may purchase them individually, or preorder the set for free shipping. They feature a die-cast, locking coin bank with a key. Due to be released in November, they are available for preorder now on our website!
