Well, it’s been a week like no other at ModelZone. We’ve got a new Website Content Administrator, Sarah, who enjoyed taking photos of the new 1:18 Minichamps Bentley for our Motoring Special this week. She’s thinking of buying a new car soon – think a Bentley may be a bit ambitious!

And the uniform didn’t really fit either...

Richard, our head of eCommerce, has a growing obsession with the Ford Escorts from his youth. In the last 2 weeks we’ve added over 450 new cars to the site and so many of them have been classic Ford Escorts that he’s considering a second mortgage on his house to pay for both the models themselves and the shelving units to keep them on.

I can’t say that I’ve been much better; I bought myself an Arc Reactor prop to wear under my shirt after watching Avengers Assemble at the weekend (photos to follow next week), still on the lookout for a Stark Industries T-Shirt to go with it if anyone has any ideas? Everyone here has been foaming at the side of the mouth about the new 1:43 Acura NSX Roadster from the movie which was only released yesterday, they really aren’t going to last long.

Unfortunately the temptation doesn’t end there... with the announcement that Oxford have released details of their brand new range of Eddie Stobart Super League trucks, although they aren’t coming until September they are extremely limited editions and we expect them to have sold out long before they arrive.

Enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend!
