Carama question

On all the models I have there is a very small screw securing the vehicle to the base.

And I think it is Cararama ???

:-) Mike, I get it ALL the time at work ! Thank god for the Spul Chicker.... And to all the others about to flame me, I know it wouldn't know Cararama !

You will need a very fine one, and they are often very tight. I have seen some on a black circular base that comes off with a quarter turn, but think the screw has become the norm to stop the cars rattling around inside the boxes...

Have pourchased some Carama models (they are selling landrovers and Transit vans at Poundland for a pound a go) - Problem is I cannot see how to detach the car from mthe plastic base - First go (pulling) damaged the base of the vehicle - Is there a trick to this. twist and pull or something? If there is I cannot find it.



TIA

Don't you mean what scale ? The only two cars I have seen that are to "Gauge" are the ones in James Bond - Octopusy and the Delorean in Back to the Future 3 ?

Small screw underneath base.

Scale 1:72 (4mm scale is 1:76). I can thoroughly recommend these at the price. Carlisle had landys and mini travellers last time I looked about two weeks ago.

All the best,

Worth a visit: 'Free Our Data Campaign'

That's what left our missile defences on the East Coast unattended for 15 minutes in 1955.

Obviously not married if they can think of something to chat about for 14 minutes Simon

Most Carama stuff is available from modern structures in miniature, for one ( usual disclaimers)
