Own Siku editions over the years
In recent years we have had quite a few models made ourselves. Some commissioned by others and sometimes we needed a model ourselves due to circumstances.
Siku 1045 BMW 545i Sikuforum Sikumodels.com
When we wanted to celebrate the first anniversary of the Dutch Siku Forum in 2005, the forum members came up with the request to make their own edition.
At that time we had the forum on www.sikumodels.com. And that year too, the well-known BMW 545i was released in silver metallic.
A great combination to make a nice print on it.
Together with Marc van Houten this was further developed and executed and the result is impressive!
There are also some other model and color options made, but they were made especially for the enthusiasts.
Because of this model we got more orders from companies, but also from people who were getting married.
Orders came almost monthly and for many collectors it became an extra chance to add something unique.
Siku 1070 Volkswagen T5 Brandweer Assen
The following year we had a very unique model made of the Volkswagen T5 Multivan of the fire brigade in Assen.
A very complex model to have printed, especially when you know that the printing method per color, per side is all manual work.
There are 11 printing runs per model and the cost price was about 8 euros at the time. For this price, these models were delivered to the permanent members of the forum in 2006, one could order 1 per person.
The edition was 120 pieces.
Siku 1315 Mini Cooper Claudia
Our oldest daughter was born at the end of 2006 and we immediately wanted to make a nice model for it, the result?
A gold-colored Mini Cooper and the edition is a shocking 30 pieces!
Of course we still have a few on the shelf ourselves.
15 pieces went to family and friends and 10 pieces were sold to collectors.
They all have a unique number with certificate! (No, the phone number no longer exists...)
Siku 1338 Volkswagen T5 Transporter
2006 was also productive in another respect, we received a large order from a company that wanted white T5 Transporter vans.
A total of 1000 pieces were made for us and 200 were purchased by the client.
The rest was sold printed or unprinted over time.
There is a nice side effect with this model, Siku has printed the wrong print on about a third of these models. Instead of Transporter, the print Multivan is on the tailgate.
Very unique and certainly a must-have for the collector!
Another order had to be a red T5 Transporter as the base color, 2000 pieces were made of that as well, half were made for Thomas Hoeing and the other 1000 pieces went to us.
Many variations were made on that as well, all listed in our database.
Will there be more in the future through us? Who knows... :-)
