That would be awesome 
Just to throw it out there, we could put them on the dash of a car like in Sean's pic? I don't mind volunteering because I'll be there until closing time.

Would those wheels go straight on the corsa model?

Look kinda like cesaro's a bit. Might be the closest you'll get. I'll keep an eye out though, thinking of doing one myself

Could you not heat the plastic blobs around the wee hole that the light goes through with a soldering iron then just pull the light off Then to refit just push the light again, heat the remaining plastic on the inside of the car and melt it over?
If you can work out what I mean by the above I think it will work

Wooly - Yeah mate, I'd have thought easiest thing to do would be pull the axle out from the clip things then stick it straight into the Corsa. Everything on these models literally slots together
Cjohnson - I thought you said 2 minutes left that's why I asked for the link That deserves a  on my part.
I get you Jamie, that might just work

That's a good price on that one though mate, unless of course anyone else on here sees the link and a bidding war starts
Last night thanks to am4nf I randomly bought a model of a Corvette which is a bit battered so I will be painting that for practice Need to get up Halfords and get some grey primer and Flame Red me thinks. There will be a separate thread for it when it arrives

I actually got going on this today! Hoorah.
Only uploading this pic as it's the only one that really shows what was going on.
I've been trying to strip the paint off the doors, which is proving a lot harder than the Corvette. It's going to need some proper attention and a stiffer bristled brush I think.
You can see that on the top of the door some of the paint has come away a bit but not much wants to come off. It was virtually instant on the Corvette
