I think there are a lot of the regulars out performing carnal acts on bits of dead animal this evening.
Or, as it's commonly known, eating out at a restaurant.

Evening TD.

Ah, the good old O/T Druid community are alive and well.
Do you want a dalek?

It's a long and unpleasant story but I'm putting a lot of toys and models on e-bay at the moment for my sister's friend.

There's a dalek in there - about 5" high, and probably once had a friction motor.

If you think it's interesting let me know. I've a lot of shit to sift through before I get to look at it properly.

Sounds like possibly a Louis Marx model to me.
Colour?

Dug it out
Should have had (I guess) a red dome but it's badly faded.

Quite a good plastic mould.

All the bits that stick out are articulated and still articulate.

Signs of a glue repair on the left hand sticky out thing.

Definately friction motored.

Underside marked "made in Hong Kong" with an inverted 2 where it's arse should be.

Yours if you want it. It'll cost a bit to post safely but gaz me and we'll work it out.

Possibly a Palitoy model then.
God I'm sad...

Could be Palitoy
Don't know - I'm sad too because most of the stuff I've been given to sell is die-cast Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox which I DO know the value of.

I've sold most of it - just stuff like the dalek left that I don't know how to price, so I'd rather it went to an appreciative home than an accumulator of crap.
