"The Avengers" (lub "Mit Schirm, Charme und Melone" w niemieckiej telewizji) Kto nie pamięta Emmy Peel (Diana Rigg) i Johna Steeda (Patrick Mc Nee)? Byli tylko częścią całej serii, ale są i pozostają najbardziej rozpoznawalnymi postaciami 😁 Nie zdawałem sobie sprawy, że Corgi wyprodukowało ten zestaw. (Nigdy nie przestajesz się uczyć... 🤣) Świetne modele (zwłaszcza bardzo szczegółowy Bentley) Świetna robota, Paul, jestem zachwycony 🤩 Oczywiście oba kciuki w górę za to 👍🏼 👍🏼 Wielkie dzięki za udostępnienie (i w tym miejscu specjalne podziękowania dla nieznanych przyjaciół, których pożyczki często umożliwiają realizację projektów) 🙏🏼 Życzę miłego weekendu i trzymaj się zdrowo. Tak trzymaj, przyjacielu 👍🏼😉 Pozdrowienia od zwariowanego na punkcie odlewów Paula z Morza Północnego. 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 "The Avengers" (or "Mit Schirm, Charme und Melone" in German TV) Who doesn't remember Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) and John Steed (Patrick Mc Nee)? They were only part of the complete series, but they are and remain the most recognisable characters 😁 I didn't realise Corgi had produced this set. (You never stop learning... 🤣) Great models (especially the, very detailed, Bentley) Excellent work, Paul, I'm thrilled 🤩 Clearly, both thumbs up for this 👍🏼 👍🏼 Many a thanks for sharing (and at this point a special thank you to the unknown friends whose loans often make your projects possible in the first place) 🙏🏼 Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate 👍🏼😉 Greetings from die-cast-crazy Paul on the North Sea. 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 "The Avengers" (oder "Mit Schirm, Charme und Melone" im deutschen TV) Wer erinnert sich nicht an Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) und John Steed (Patrick Mc Nee) ? Sie waren nur ein Teil der kompletten Serie, aber sie sind und bleiben die bekanntesten Figuren 😁 Ich wusste gar nicht, daß Corgi dieses Set produziert hat. (Man lernt nie aus... 🤣) Tolle Modelle (ganz besonders der, sehr detaillierte, Bentley) Exzellente Arbeit, Paul, ich bin begeistert 🤩 Ganz klar, beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼 Vielen Dank fürs teilen (und an dieser Stelle auch ein spezielles Dankeschön an die, unbekannten, Freunde, deren Leihgaben deine Projekte oft erst ermöglichen) 🙏🏼 Dir und Deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so, mein Freund 👍🏼😉 Gruß vom Die-cast-verrückten Paul an der Nordsee. 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

Excellent work. There are actually two Lotus Elans used in the series, both driven by Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. She was in the show for two seasons. In her first season which was black and white, she drove a white Elan numberplate HNK999C and in the second season, which was in colour, she drove the blue Elan, SJH499D.

A lovely set - but I never worked out what the little umbrellas you got with it were for.

[@Cleveland.Ironman]

The umbrellas are John Steed’s hallmark as well as his bowler hat.

[@brianartillery]

@@Cleveland.Ironman I know - I used to be allowed to watch the show when I was a kid in the 1960's. You couldn't buy a sword umbrella toy, but I did have an 'Avengers' branded sword stick, that also squirted water. I believe that Steed's special umbrellas were made for real by a London shop called Swaine, Adeney, and Brigg, and you could buy them. No, It was the three little brollies that were included in the set (which I had) that I always wondered about.

[@minasegazi4000]

I love the work, recreating the box is an amazing touch. However i gotta admit your spray booth gives me a anxiety attack. If i let mine get any dust i can kiss my paint job goodbye. Yours reminds me of the dunes of arakis and yet you still do flawless gloss.

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

I'm watching one here right now, aired in 1967 & it's in colour. It features the Elan & Bentley, but in 67, a lot of households didn't have (or could afford) colour television. Lotus is still a legend of British motor history & they rarely made poor performance cars. The flaws were their reliability/durability.

[@nicholassheffo5723]

@@andrewphippsphillips1455 The U.S. got color TV in the later 1960s in the NTSC format, then color came to the PAL format in the U.K., et al. Lotus made great cars until the mid-19080s, when the founder died and the Esprit was turned into a Firebird Trans Am more or less by owners GM. They did add Lotus tech to the Corvette the way Toyota (who supplied engines to some 1980s Lotus models) did to the Celica Supra.
