Dinky Toys photography specials

Yes, I'm afraid that's the Trojan OXO van! Here it is, before and after treatment ...

Storing Dinky Toys

Hi all, it may be apparent that I have a great joy and satisfaction in making nice and special photographs of Dinky Toys (and other matters, of course). Nowadays it is so easy to have them nicely laid out and printed in a digitally produced photoalbum or a calendar. I told the story of my 2009 'My Dinky Toys World' album in the October 2010 issue of The Journal. Subsequently I made a Dinky Toys calendar for 2011. The time was lacking to make one for 2012, so you may like to have a view of the one I made for 2011. Dinky Toys photography specials! Kind regards, Jan

I can vouch for the quality of Jan's 2011 Calender - it is absolutely superb. I was one of the very happy receipients of this publication. Inspired by Jan's efforts I mad an A3 Dinky calender for 2012 and I will peobably be making on for 2013. A sample image from the February page from mine is shown below.

Jan-- That calendar was just beautiful and so well done....I love the variety of subjects that you used, instead of just one 'theme'.....very nice! And Dave, now that you have given us a 'tease' of yours, how about the rest of the images? Those are a delight to see and thanks to you both for posting..... Terry

I will get some more pages from mine on next week. Menwhile here is a nice trio of Big Bedfords. I acquired the Blue/Yellow one last saturday. Dave

Dave-- Nice lot of Bedfords! I always liked that blue/yellow version the best...just looks wonderful and a nice acquisition for you! Terry

Not bad Dave, nice to see! Triple Gang Mowing.
