Excellent
I have been collecting the Oxford Diecast 1:76 scale range of model fire engines for a while now, along with the models they produced on behalf of Atlas Collections and Fire Brigade Models, and this Scania was the latest acquistion.
As with all of their models, it is based on a real vehicle, and whilts some compromises have to be made with miniaturisations of a 1:1 prototype, these really do capture the look of the real thing.
These are limited edition, but I have no idea of the production run quantity. This one is the seventh Scania machine in my collection and probably wont be the last...
I am running out of space to display them now..!
Highly recommended to other collectors.

Knight Templar
This piece by Veronese is cold cast in resin and represents a German Templar Knight at the times of the Crusades.
The figurine has been finished to a very high standard and has a nice bronzed appearance which adds to its appeal.
Veronese are renowned for the attention to detail the give to any of their products and this certainly shows here as the detail on the figurine is crisp and cleanly cast and superbly finished.
I understand that these are limited edition, so I am pleased that I managed to get hold of this one to add to my small collection, which take pride of place in my lounge.
Highly recommended to any collector or anyone who wants a beautiful pice of artwork for their study or den.

Reliable safety
This detector is well-made by a reputable company. It is easy to install, though you must comply as best you can with the quite strict requirements for best positioning of the device. It can be wall-mounted and even comes with suitable screws and rawl plugs supplied. Or it can positioned as free-standing, which is what I chose to do. The best part is that it comes with good batteries. All you need to do is fit them, install it where required and not forget to test the device once a week by using the inbuilt test button. It might just save your life one day.
