Coolaride,

If you go to the topic http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,850.msg2709.html#msg2709 there is an explanation of the history of Micro Models.  I suspect your wagon is from the mid 80s and that the MCOTW on the base is Model Cars of the World.  I have one of these in an unassembled kit.  It is quite rough and even has an small L shaped hole through the roof.

As to the sedan, I also have one with the same base and assume it is from another phase of their history, but don't know for sure.

I have a variety of other bases and should try to post the different ones in the hope someone knows which base was produced in which phase.

I hope that helps with the FC wagon at least.

Cheers
David

Hi

I picked up two Micro Models at a local swap meet in the mid 80's.  Both were unassembled and unpainted - an FE sedan and an FC Van.   

I kept the FE but left the Van behind with the real Van. 

I've still got the unassembled and unpainted Tom Thumb FE in it's original box that I picked up around the same time from another swap meet.

I'm not much into model cars (you can't drive 'em) but the couple I've got are quite cute!

If you don't know how, I have found that pressing the macro button (little flower) on the camera sets it up for taking really close up shots.
