    I really want to get a model peugeot partner van, for my real van. I've done a few searches and haven't found anything, the main makers are majorette and matchbox. I did see one for the new partner, but wasn't great and was just not the older model! does anyone know where I'd get one, and has anyone matched a model for their real vehicles?

    eBay is the way to go OP if you want to find a specialised model.

    I spent a week looking for this:

    Its had an incident or two with some dinky cyclists so its lost its mirrors, but the working rocket launchers in the sunroof more than make up for them!

    I can guarantee you that it's not. It's done by using a wide angle lens and a huge depth of field as a result of imputing a tiny aperture value into the camera like f16 or something.

    That's an excellent photo Kev!

    A cousin of mine left a model of his vintage car on his window one year at a vintage car show, it was so hot out that it melted all the paint on the car :L

    There is a shop selling models on Hawkins St. in Dublin 2, go downstairs and have a look around, they are also pretty good on giving advice as to where you might get stuff, i think they are called Marks Models. Maybe a better place is another shop about half way down Nassau St. They sell a lot of Irish state vehicles as models, Garda, Buses etc.
