Vendel also has some mastiffs:

Trencher> nice find, the car isn't very cheap though. I made my Pursuit Special from a Matchbox Speedkings Ford Capri II:



The bad thing is that it doesn't have the heavy rear of the XB Falcon Coupé, and the wheels don't look very good. The good thing is that the liftback can be opened and therefore easily removed. I remodelled the hood and the nose on my model with MagicSculp. Don't have any piccies present though.

Thanks for the tip with the car :)
I think i have to scratchbuilt it in the end, because a V8 interceptor only exists in 1/24 and bigger :(

@ Heeler:
The heeler looks a little bit (should mean, with some sculpting it could possibly work) like a Deutscher Schäferhund (german shepherd dog), but he´s much smaller than a Schäferhund. Found this nice pic on wikipedia: Heeler

the "breton's plastic dog" could fit as well with some sculpting work on it.
But i found this one here:
Small german shepherd dog

What do you think abaout it? With a bit sculpting it could be a heeler?

I´ve got this little doggie lying around:



It´s the second dog from the Pegasus 1/48 "Farm Animals" box set. It´s about this size, compared to EM4 Figures:



A bit smaller, since the head is in a lower stance.

If you´re interested, drop me a PM and we´ll work something out!

EDIT:

On the interceptor, HLBSCo (under their "Paper Street Soap Company" sublabel) do a model in 1/48th scale, which would IMHO still work with 28mm figures. However, I´m unsure what to think of the catalogue entry - I saw it assembled in an issue of Wargames Illustrated, and it looked okay, but if window glass (acetate), rear seats and parcel shelf are missing, I think 14 GBP is a bit steep and you would be better off looking for a toy car. Anyway, here´s the link: http://www.hlbs.co.uk/type.php?id=46
