Leigh’s Diecast Diary

Welcome to the eighty forth Leigh’s Diary Vidcast. With a little help from his Friends, Leigh guides us through another hefty bout of new releases from the diecast world. This week we have a car driven by Pooky (?), the guys play a mean trick on Charlie and we also feature a VERY big bridge…..see for yourself! New releases this week are provided by Minichamps, Solido and Spark.

Keep the comments rolling in. You’ll need quicktime installed to view the video on this post.

What an exciting Moto GP at Donington Park! I’ve already pre-ordered my Minichamps 1:12 Andrea Dovizioso 2009 Honda RC212V (PO91104)!

Today we received new deliveries from IXO and Norev.

From IXO one of the most popular subjects we have ever seen from them is the 1:43 Austin 7 Royal Mail van (CLC178). Other new 1:43 releases from them are Sebastien Loeb’s winning Citroen C4 WRC from this year’s Cyprus Rally (RAM354), and Sebastien Ogier’s 2009 Monte Carlo winning Peugeot 207 (RAM353).

Meanwhile, we also took delivery of several new 1:18 replicas from Norev. The highlights here are the Renault 5 GT Mk.I in white (NV185200), the #34 Porsche RS Spyder that won the LMP2 class at Le Mans in 2008 (NV187528), and the Citroen DS19 cabriolet in blue (NV181560).
