Lamley Daily: Mini GT Skyline GT-R Calsonic

Holiday goals: How I finally got the Tomica collection out on display

If you can’t enjoy your models every day, it becomes harder to justify having them at all. Time for action!

Lamley Daily: Tomica Honda N-One Snap-on

I couldn't pass up this Honda when I found it in Japan. Even better, it's based on a real racing car!

Lamley Daily: Hot Wheels 1957 Oldsmobile

Relieved that I managed to remove the perished rubber bands with only minor damage to the paint...

Lamley Daily: Kyosho McLaren F1 GTR

A Le Mans-winning McLaren...and not a Gulf logo in sight

Majorette motorsport: A closer look at a Corvette, 911 and Celica I didn’t expect to find

I had eyed up three recent Majorette race and rally releases without ever expecting to see them in Calgary. But here they are!

Lamley Daily: Norev Simca 1000 Rallye

Many of the Norev rally cars are too big for my 1:64 display, but I made an exception for this one!

Lamley Daily: Oxford Diecast Outspan Orange

One of the earliest models from Oxford Diecast. Juicy!

Martini and more: Rally Lancias in 1:64 scale

The newly issued Hot Wheels Lancia Rally 037 prompted me to pull some of my favourite small-scale rally Lancias together

Posted on October 17, 2020October 16, 2020

Lamley Daily: Auto Rozza Subaru Impreza WRX STI

I have quite a few Imprezas in model form but Auto Rozza was new to me when I picked up this unusual 1:64 Subie

Posted on October 9, 2020October 8, 2020

Lamley Daily: Doyusha Suzuki Wagon R

I still know very little about Doyusha, other than to say that they produced a few series of 1:64 Kei car models around 10-12 years ago, including Daihatsus, Mitsubishis and this Wagon R

Posted on October 5, 2020October 3, 2020

Lamley Daily: Inno64 Mitsubishi Pajero Evo

No one is yet offering the range of rally subjects that CM’s once did, but Inno64 is one of several brands coming out with some impressive rally models

Posted on September 30, 2020September 28, 2020

Collection Update: Hot Wheels Ford Escort RS1600

This RS1600 has fantastic proportions and a great stance. Add in the Mk.1 Escort’s incredible race rally and pedigree, plus a high-profile movie connection, and it’s a winning recipe

24-hour teal and blue: Falken at the Nürburgring in 1:64 scale

The Falken Motorsports team will field two Porsches at the Nürburgring this weekend. Here's a look back at 20 years of Falken racers in 1:64

Filling some Matchbox gaps: Four more on the road to 800

I'm still trying to collect each of a series of 800 Matchbox castings but as time goes on, it becomes tougher and more expensive to plug the gaps. Here are some I've found this year...

Lamley Daily: Sparky Alpine A450

Ahead of this weekend’s delayed 2020 Le Mans 24 Hours, here's a great model of the Signatech/Alpine LMP2 car from 2015. It's just been announced that Alpine will back a higher-profile LMP1 machine next season

Greenlight’s new baby joins a line of great Escort RS Cosworth models

Not surprisingly for such a distinctive-looking car with lots of rally history, there are some fine models of the 'Cossie' to enjoy

Posted on September 8, 2020September 7, 2020

Lamley Daily: Hot Wheels NHRA Morris Wagon

I confess I’d never paid this model much attention until I found this one recently in a $1 bin at a model shop. It was the Real Riders that caught my eye...

Posted on September 4, 2020September 1, 2020

Lamley Daily: Mini GT Acura NSX GT3

This NSX the first Mini GT I’ve bought for my collection. Naturally I’ve been watching the #lamleyhype around the brand for a few years and even picked up a Civic Type-R for a friend who owned one, but this beauty now has a spot in my 1:64 race car display
