    Just got 2 more at the swapmeet at my school today.
    Both mustangs, but the non-Shelby is in rough condition (added to the trade for free!)

    will add pics if requested.

    Today I recieved 3 more models for my 1/43 collection. This time I paid more than usual: usually I get my models from a random shop for 2.50 eur a piece(made by DeAgostini), this time I actually got them from Germany by ordering from the interwebs.

    So I got a Ford Galaxy mk I (16.00 eur- Minichamps), Ford Mondeo mk I facelift(18.00 eur - Minichamps - My actual first car) and a Ford Probe mk II (BoS models - 39.95 eur - Have two of them in real life).

    Also a few weeks back I got some more models from that usual random shop for 2.50 a piece: GAZ-AA, Toyota Corolla E70, an old Opel Rekord diesel, Fiat Panda mk I, VW Golf mk I diesel, Ford Taunus, Shelby 350GT and something called the Simson Duo. The Simson just looked so weird that I had to get it:D

    Next I will most likely buy a Renault 19, Ford Sierra and a Ford Scorpio mk II.

    Got some more models before the end of 2016.

    Bought some fairly random ones this time, because the price had gotten quite insane: they had dropped the price from 2.50€ to 1.50€.

    Also got some of my childhood toys back(most got lost when I gave them to my little brother- mostly I miss my BMW 525i e34 and Ford Sierra facelift, both made by bburago).Also about bburago: the scale seems way off. To demonstrate I have parked a Fiat 500 and a Renault Clio next to the GAZ 13 and Alfa Romeo 159. It seems like the Fiat and the Renault are absolutely huge. Another thing is that all bburago cars seem to have exactly the same size wheels.

    And I found the car my wifes father had when she was younger, a BMW 318i e21. Although they might have had a 316 or 315. It's 1/18 scale model made by KK-scale. Only bad thing about it is that nothing opens.

    Also I got a really broken model of an A-class MB. It has no branding on it even. Bought it from ck-modelcars, it's the only broken one I have got from there, all the others have been fine.

    In 2017 i'm probably not going to get many more models, there are a few I still want, but a lot have been limited editions that tend to get sold(that's why I didn't get the Renault 19- there are still the facelifted sport versions, but I want the prefacelift stock one...)
