well i purchased these mini models a while ago and thought i would post up some pictures

they were made by springside and are metal and you build them yourself i purchased 1 mini pickup, 2 clubman estates ,1 mini van and 1 mini traveller you dont see in the photos
so i built one of the clubman estates it is not perfect but looks really cool :lol:

I've got the pick-up kit too, and a built one. The pics don't really show but there's even a little driver in it.

I think it was 1/87. But some proportions, like the high roof, might be 1/50 :lol:
