both you guys have a very nice collection.you both have cars that i want badly,the RX8 and impreza 22b from TT's collection and the F40 and F50 from Evo's collection,lol

thanks for sharing your pics guys

[stradale]

Nice collection there, guys!

gis, why do you keep them in the box? It's hard to look at them from all angles like that.

TT, from which manufacturer is the Miura Jota in 1/43? Is it also from Kyosho? It looks great. And the Stratos, is that from Vitesse? If so, then I've got the same, only in red.

My collection is largely stored away at my parents'. I only have a couple of 1/43 right here.
Ferrari F355 Berlinetta (red/tan) by Minichamps

but ppl who seen mine bit by bit know i have an extensive michael schumacher collection

[Evo]

dani_d_mas, I don't think they are 100.. I think they are more like 1000 cars.. very nice collection and that gave me a new idea to store them.. I am running out of space right now..

TT, Miura Jota SVR and the Porsche 996 GT3 RS are my favorite out of your collection the other are very good too but those are very very very nice.. I also like all the M cars..

Gis.. well you know the M3 GTR is my favorite from your collection.. :mrgreen:

Keep them coming guys.. post pix if posible..

[gis]

[KaBlookie]

not too too many, but I'm lookin for excuses to get summore :lol:

Ferrari Enzo (red) --> Hot Wheels
Ferrari F50 (silver) --> Maisto
Ferrari 360 Modena (red) --> Hot Wheels
Lamborghini Murcielago (hot green) --> Maisto
Mercedes CLK-DTM (Original Teile) --> Maisto
Audi R8 (Infineon) --> Maisto

Shelby Series 1 (silver with red stripes) --> Bburago
AM General Hummer H1 (yellow with black top) --> Maisto
Dodge Viper RT/10 (black) --> Bburago
Porsche 996 Targa (dark red) --> Maisto

lol that's a lot of Maisto...just a coincidence tho, cuz when im shopping for them, i just look for what car i want, and if the model's a good one.

I'm pretty sure that's it :lol: maybe I'll edit this when i get home in case i forgot any...

*edit* yeah, that's all of my 1/18th ones...

this is what I have in 1/24th:
Mercedes CLK-GTR street version (silver)
Dodge Viper GTS (blue with white stripes)
Lamborghini Countach (red)

[gis]

stracing your collection is truelly awesome as an F1 fan and schumacher fan.how many do u have of those,are they all in the pics?

[yg60m]

:shock: Mates, what a collection you have, I have some cast models but i stop buying them because i lack place with all the magazines, VHS, DVD ... and my wife and my childs take a lot of place too :wink:

I will try to take pics of my (small) collection.

Stracing, wouldn't you be a Ferrari fan ? :lol:

[tigerx]

only got 5 model:

1. Autoart Corvette C5R 2001 number 64
2. Dodge viper SRT
3. 2004 Mustang Cobra SVT convertible (maisto)
4. Black Porsche Carrera GT (maisto)
5. Gulf Racing (the one on my avatar) Ford GT

i also have a shelby GT500KR but i'm giving it to my lil cuzin and i'm buying another model soon.

[stradale]

All I can say to those running out of space is switch to 1/43rd... I did too when I ran out of space and for about the same money you can buy models with the same level of detail that take a quarter of the space a 1/18 model would. One more advantage, in 1/43 a lot more models are released, so the choice is also better. Besides, somehow I like models better in 1/43. Details mean more to me when they're difficult to make. I'm not buying 1/18s anymore...

[TT]

stradale, yes also the small Miura J is by Kyosho :D

And congrats Evo, very nice collection :D

[Evo]

stradale, you might be right about the 1:43 scale being better detail.. and I am running out of space too.. but I still am getting 1:18..

1:18 is bigger but I still like them the 1:43 is to small for my kind..and the 1:18 is a good size to display on a stand.. you can see it from far away.. :mrgreen:


TT, I'm just wondring if you got my PM. :roll:

[ferrari550]

i have been collecting 1:18 scale models for years now and i have almost 65 i think, it is in the 60s anyway, when i get some time i will take some pics.

i also see some very good collections :D

[gis]

dani your collection amazes me.id love to see pics of them when u can.can i ask if you still buy to add to that already huge collection?

[Schwalbe]

I only have in 1:18 1996 Dodge Viper GTS, Audi RS4, 96 Chevy Impala SS, 996 Porsche GT2.

I know an untraceable car in die cast model: 3rd generation of Eagle Talon TSI 1:18. Nevertheless this is a common car ... strange ? :? I swear it does not exist. There is only in the market the ugly Mitsubishie Eclipse from F&F. :(

[Evo]

I used to burn and destroy my old Majorettes and Hot Wheels. A little of alcohol 96º, or glue, a hammer... you know how far the imagination of a 10 year-old boy can reach :D . I remember when I was 16, to pass over a 1/24 car (I think it was a Sierra) with my dad's Toyota 4Runner. The poor car looked like an omelette!

:cry: :cry: Poor car.. ... :lol:

[novass]

You guys have some nice collections. Oddly enough, this is the one thing I never started collecting. The only small model cars I have are Kyosho Mini-Zs. In the Mini Z dept, I have a yellow 355, CLK-GTR with working lights, and a racing Skyline (Xanavi) which is really fast, the little thing does 20-30mph easily. I also have a Mini-Z Overland-Dakar Mistu Pajero and an Epoch Skyline (I think its 1:43) its pretty quick too. Ill probably break down and get the new Mini-Z Monster Truck soon too. I also have some old Penny racers and some Bit-Char-gs, etc. LOL Ill take some pics tomorrow as the cam's battery is dead ATM.

My uncle has an enormous collection of scale cars, I mean walls and walls of them. If I remember ill go over and get some pics of them.

[stracing]

gis: yea there are. mainly BBR and minichamps(the michael schumacher collection)

yg60m: ferrari fan? i think others beat me to that. schumacher fan? definately!!! even if schumacher went to minardi i still buy his car.

i have been tempted to buy road cars, but just buying schumacher is expensive. just look at BBR and you know. plus i was late getting my hands on the minichamps, so they're like 250-500 each. 1/43 scale too :shock:

[TT]

Again very nice and big collection dude :D and nice to see lot of free spots in some pics :D

[stracing]

fark i love his collection!
i love how some momentos were added like the hat and wine/champagne. very nice touch

but in the last pic with the 1/43 that is one expensive cabinet!
i got the alesi riding schumacher's benetton. i paid so much for that i don't even wanna say. the first thing i did when i came home was had a quick look and packed it away so it won't remind me what damage it made to my wallet.

[gis]

are the quality of the BBR worth the hefty price tag,i never seen a BBR model up close so i havent seen the quality.

dani_d_mas - can i ask who made your ferrari F40,the next cars i want to add to my collection will be ferrari ones and i want the F40 and F50,i seen the F50 many times but never the F40,who was yours made by?

[gis]

cool ill have to look for the F40.its the same brand that Evo has,but as u said i may have to look for a hot wheels version if they made it yet. :)

[jon_s]

gis, who made the gt3 and gt2?? they look increadible!

[stracing]

i reckon they are worth it. the quality is excellent. very hard to find a fault. another thing is they are rare. only about 250 or 300 are made for the world.

if you want F40 or F50, get one the F40 from Kyosho and F50 from Tamiya. they are rather large but hell are they beuatiful.

[gis]

jon_s the GT3 is hot wheels,looks awesome IMO and the GT2 is an auto art which is even more nice,lol

stracing - dont get me started on the F40 by kyosho,i saw the 1:12 scale one for £300.that took me about 2 hours to walk away from and not buy,lol

[TT]

The local 1:12 Kyosho F40 is still in the shop here!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it's also cheaper than 300 GBP :D

[gis]

TT thats unfair,lol i love that model,but i also would lack one thing,and thats space to put it.you should buy it though :D

[stracing]

yea TT go buy it. i'd buy it if i was into die cast road cars

[RAMAN]

[gis]

i like that JGTC supra of yours RAMAN that one is cool :D

about how much is spent,well that collection i have to date is probably worth just about over £1000,that bein with the money i paid for them.i havent bought a new model in close to 3 months now,gettin pretty close to cracking and buying a new one,lol

[TT]

Well today I was in town and saw this nice cutie...

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/5044/cgt1.jpg

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2694/cgt2.jpg

Needless to say it was added to the collection right away :D (Minichamps, 1/43)

[gis]

very nice model dude.i think a CGT model will have to come my way soon now i have seen it.it looks great in that colour :D

[WhiteP]

I have a question.. what's the best brand for 1/43 scale models?

For Ferrari, I will go for BBR...
For Japanese, I will go for Ebbro

what about the others? like Porsche or Lambo....??

[TT]

Beside BBR (not so cheap) and Ebbro (already affordable), the best cheap ones are IMO, Autoart, Ixo, Minichamps and Kyosho :)

[stracing]

i reckon Autoart is really good quality

Avoid Maisto like a plague unless you're on a budget. So many details are left out in those cars.

[T-Bird]

AutoArt are my favorite I have from them:
Skyline GTR34
EVO VII
Impreza Rallye de Portugal Burns/Reid

Other:
Greddy EVO VII
Shelby Series 1
Ferrari 360
Corvette C5
996 Carrera
Hummer 4 door hard top
HMMWV (not die cast)
Hummer 4 door soft top
NYFD Hummer (not die cast)
Hummer Wagon
Audi TT

EDIT: just added:
CGT (maisto)
ENZO (hot wheels)
360 CS (hot wheels)
GT3R (autoart)

All are 1:18

[gis]

auto art are really good in 1:18,i have quite a few from them,1 from minichamps and 2 from kyosho,the kyosho ones are pretty dam sweet......or maybe thats coz one of them is a black supra :roll: LOL

i have a couple maisto ones,the ones i have are pretty good,the mustang cobra R,2003 cobra,corvette Z06.DB7,mini and audi TT.they are pretty good IMO.but if it came down to it i would buy them in auto art or kyosho :D

[TVR_Fan]

Any way these are the best ones I have at the moment-

since i have read this topic i am planning on buying more models which size is the best?

It depends on the space you got..
I personally like the 1:18 scale.. some people would argue and say that 1:48 is better quality and takes up less space.. and some don't mind the extra space so they get the 1:12 scale.. It all depends on you.. but they are all good..

Autoart is my favorite model manufacturer just in case you are wondering.

[stracing]

i'm not worried about space...becuase i will have a cabinet for it. i'm just waiting for a good second hand to pop up because i don' think its worth buying a new one.

if i could afford it, i'd proabaly get 1/8 or 1/4 scale but they run into tens of thousands US money

[TT]

btw TT how do you make your background? i mean its PURE white i had to use paper cause im cheap like that


Well if you mean the pics of the CGT, I just used a big white cardboard :D


since i have read this topic i am planning on buying more models which size is the best?


If you have have big free volumes in your house and you don't mind spending around 2x for every model, go for 1/18 :D

As for me, I buy also 1/18 models, but I prefer 1/43 because first, they come in very nice plastic boxes while if you want to keep the 1/18 inside their original ones, they are not so nice since they aren't meant to be exposed in them (you can buy 1/18 boxes identical to the 1/43 ones but you have to pay extra.
Second, they are smaller and easier to store :D
Third, 1/43 are cheaper: I pay around 35-40 USD for every 1/43 and 75-80 for the big ones..

[stradale]

I have a question.. what's the best brand for 1/43 scale models?

For Ferrari, I will go for BBR...
For Japanese, I will go for Ebbro

what about the others? like Porsche or Lambo....??

MR builds quite some Lambos these days. The quality is on a par with BBR.

If you can build 1/43 kits, then AMR, Le Phoenix, Tameo, BBR, MR, Tron, (to a lesser extent) Provence Moulage, Racing 43 etc. have excellent kits.

I'm no expert on Porsche kits. Don't have a clue who's offering decent ones.

[tigerx]

I just bougth 2 models today, 1:18 Gulf Racing Ford GT and 1:18 Black carrera GT, here's some picture ( they're quite big, 1600*1200, so be patient if you have 56k):

[T-Bird]

who makes the cgt?

[TT]

Next time can you please post smaller images for the forum? :D maybe with urls to high-res if needed :D

[tigerx]

Next time can you please post smaller images for the forum? maybe with urls to high-res if needed


I'll keep that in mind, and apologize if i create any inconvinience.


who makes the cgt?


I think only MAISTO make the CGT, they also the only one that make the SLR.

[TT]

BTW, by Maisto I also saw a CGT costing between 60 and 70 USD instead of the other one that costs around 30.. since I don't like Maisto that much I didn't checked it, but now I wonder if the quality could be much better than the "cheap" version

[Vansquish]

Hey TT...could you give me a link to the place where you saw the expensive version of the CGT? I'd be very curious to see it, the only versions of which I am aware are the concept CGT in Dark Silver and Black, the production version in Black or Red, and the concept version as an RC car also by Maisto...I think those go for about $17, $20, and $45 usd respectively.

Incidentally, I'd be happy to try and arrange something for those of you overseas to get your hands on some models fairly cheaply. My family is a member of Costco and during the X-mas season they have Maisto 1:18 models for $10 usd apiece. I could probably buy a bunch and then ship them...I'd only charge what the model and the shipping itself cost (i.e. no profit hehe)

[TT]

Do they have also better brands like Autoart or Kyosho during those sales? :D

As for the CGT, I saw the 60 USD one in my local shop, but a quick search just brought this to my attention... -> LMAO.. it is a CGT with working head and tail lights.. I didn't really notice in the shop

http://www.ewa1.com/md/ma56622k.jpg

[tigerx]

dam they don't have that at my store. well, at my the store that i buy my models from, there are 3 CGT, red, black and silver, the black and the red are different, not just color, but the detail too. i'm not too sure about the silver one though

[cavallino]

My collection includes:
Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari F50
Ferrari F40(1/43)
Ferrari 550 Maranello
Ferrari 550 Barchetta
Ferrari 456M
Ferrari F355
Ferrari 360 Modena
Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale
Ferrari Testarossa
Lambo Diablo
Lambo Diablo SV
2 Lambo Murcs
2 Lambo Countachs (1/43)
Lambo Gallardo
Porsche Carrera GT
Porsche 911 Carrera
Bugatti EB 110
Saleen S7
Nissan 350Z
2 Dodge Vipers
Chevy Corvette

[Vansquish]

I believe that the only cars I've seen at those Costco X-mas sales are for Maisto and a few ERTL and Tonka products...and maybe a Road Legend or two. The Maisto cars are certainly the highest detail of the bunch, though I'm prone to taking them home, stripping them bare and carving new parts and detailing them more realistically. The quality of Maisto models has improved quite a bit in the last couple of years...to the point where I think that they are better than Bburago except perhaps in terms of paint finish, but that's somewhat debatable.

As for the CGT that costs $60 usd (with lights and infrared control) I can only assume that that is because of the shipping costs and the fact that EWA wants to make a profit (whereas I don't) They can be found on the US version of Ebay for $35-45 usd.

[TT]

Well I'm sure the price was about the same in the store I visit since it was way closer to the price of an Autoart than a normal Maisto :D still well, no idea why you will need working lights on your model LOL :D

And yes I think some of the latest Maisto models are not that bad and there are nice cars that are done by them only, still, I prefer to stick with other brands when possible :D thanks for the offer man! Anyway sadly shipping costs would make what you are suggesting quite less cheap: to send a single 1:18 car would cost in the 20 USD, so the final result will be more expensive than the price we have over here :?

[No.1]

Here is one of my cars.. i have had it for many years.

It is from the Michael Schumacher Collection and is a 1:18 Ferrari F300 8)

Sorry about the pics.. the red didn't come out too well without the flash, but that just gave shadows at the edges of the pictures becuase the flash was so close to the car :)

[TT]

Some time ago I was wondering about the Zonda too and never found one...

I have to admit I don't know Motormax, never seen Motormax models in the stores around here.. and there is sadly no picture on that website :?

BTW, on other websites I saw release date for it stated as 10 / 2004 http://www.diecastmuscle.com/store/Makes/Pagani/MX73147BL

[gis]

another nice model to add to your collection,you have a few limited edition ones now i beleive TT. :)

i really should take a trip back to the shop i go to,been ages since i purchased a model

[MIHALS]

GUYS!!! have u seen the Lamborghini Murcielago 40th Anniversary diecast model car 1:18 :?: :?: :?: Its just WELL DONE made model, but Well priced :cry: ....That price is too much for me.....here is the link on it
http://www.idcow.com/aa2093.html

[stradale]

$85 is far too much for a 1/18 AutoArt... Ridiculous.

At the fair I went to last weekend I saw AutoArt models in scale 1/18 ranging from about 35 to 55 euros.

[TT]

Yes agree.. even for an Autoart, it's a bit to much... but maybe it's a very limited edition ;)

Anyway, a couple more pics from my collection..
these two deserved to be shot together ;)

And these two were added yesterday :D

The Maser was available also as an open spider and as a coupé, but the closed spider was the best IMO :D

As for the DB9, such sweet car had to be mine :D, despite a sexy Capri RS that will have to wait untill next time :D

[gis]

2 more very nice models TT.i liek that DB9 a lot.and i have no doubt soon u will return and buy the capri,lol

[MIHALS]

anyway, who is looking for the models, could use this page... quite good I think
http://www.idcow.com/diecast-cars.html

Anyone knows better? Ill be happy to see

[TT]

Also this one isn't bad: http://ewa1.com/index.html

[Vansquish]

in my experience, a lot of the models that EWA sells are a bit overpriced, but I don't know if that holds true for European customers as well...btw TT...what make is that GT3RS, and what scale...it looks like a Maisto CGT next to it, so 1:18?

[TT]

Both are 1/43. The CGT is a regular Minichamps and the GT3 RS was a limited edition I saw at Geneva Motorshow.. the car stands on a carbonlook plate, again Minichamps

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7963/Porsche996GT3RS01.jpg

[stradale]

TT, that DB9 is the 1/43 AutoArt, isn't it? Funny, my dad bought one as well last saturday. It went in the cabinet with the BBRs and such and has nothing to be ashamed of. Beautifully built IMO.

[TT]

No stradale the DB9 is 1/43 by Minichamps ;) same as the GT3 RS and CGT ;) The Maser is an IXO

I still didn't see the 1/43 DB9 by Autoart here.

[stradale]

I'm sorry, I'm mistaken, it was a Minichamps... *hits his head on the desk*

May I ask how much you paid for it?

[TT]

;)

I paid 49 CHF (Swiss Francs), that's 39 USD or 32 EUR at the moment. The usual price for a 1/43 (IXO/Minichamps/Autoart quality)

[stradale]

That's not bad, assuming you bought it in a store. Around here you pay about 50 euros for a model like that in a store. My dad bought his from a German at the fair for 28, so you can imagine why we like going there. :wink:

[TT]

I bet!! But that fair took place just once a year, right? :D and well, it would be to hard to wait 365 before buying the next models just to save some euros ;)

[stradale]

No, it's six times a year, so it's not that bad. :D

[skituner]

where do you guys buy all these?
i would really like to start collecting them
what are the prices like?

[TT]

As we said many times, usual price for good models like Autoart (1/43 and 1/18), Minichamps (1/43 and 1/18), IXO (1/43), Kyosho (1/43, 1/18) and such are usually something like 40 USD for a small one and 80 for big ones..

The best place to buy them are normal stores since you can check them out before you buy them.. online you risk to receive a damaged or not perfect one and discover it when it will be to late ;)

[TT]

Well I guess they can't really play a lot with the prices... I see they are basically always the same worldwide :D

[tanelvali]

God damn these are fine collections gis, TT and EVO. I always spend some time in supermarket admireing some nice 1:18 scale models but unfortunately I always tend to "invest" my money somewhere else. But seeing those marvellous collections here I know I must start collecting them as well.. :twisted:

Very best pictures are the ones of gis about his Porsches:
http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6554/porschegroup2.jpg
http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8064/porschegroup3.jpg

Really nice!!!

EDIT: dani_d_mas collection - all those ferraris!!!!!!!!! Awwww.... Really excellent.

EDIT 2: just read the whole topic through again and my mind is made up - must start buying and collecting some nice models myself. and SOON. Hopefully I can show you my own collection also in the future.. At the moment there is only 1 F1 Ferrari kit (1:18) which was damaged by my 4 years old relative :( :( not even worth posting a pic of it..

EDIT 3: There are some very good links to the webpages where one can find lots of models related stuff... Perhaps gis, as the founder of this topic should put links to his first post so they would be easily accessible.. just a thought

[Dthree]

Wow! I've never really seen such high quality models before :o


Very best pictures are the ones of gis about his Porsches:

Really nice!!!


Indeed

[gis]

thanks guys.those 3 porsches are a collection i want to get all in slver i hope if i can locate them.the GT2 i managed to get thanks to TT.and now im in the hunt for a 996 turbo in silver aswell.but no luck so far. called the shop i go to and they said they aint got it and cant get it for sum reason,so finding it is gonna be tough i think :lol:

[TT]

Danny.. I could be wrong, but I think I saw a silver 996 TT in my shop time ago!! But not really sure :?

[gis]

^^^^ hmmm lol i think sum money from me will be heading your way soon if there is one in your shop,lol thats if you dont mind :D

[T-Bird]

Shit the two stores i go to both had a few Silver 996TT's from Autoart along with Silver GT3'2 and GT2's not that hard to find around here.

[gis]

i would liek the 996 turbo from auto-art preferably.my GT2 is made by auto-art and its great quality and detail

[T-Bird]

I'm considering the GT2 form Auto-Art. I just ordered an SLR so hopeing to get that soon.

[TT]

Danny, as soon as I can quickly check at the store I will let you know :D

[gis]

TT - thanks that would be great if u could let me know :D

T-Bird - well as i said a few times the auto-art GT2 is worth it so u wont be dissapointed in buying it.when u get the SLR please post pics :D

[T-Bird]

I'll try to remember

the three models with the LEGO Technics guys in them are all on the same shelf doing a sort of a drag race...it's actually not too dramatic, but it's different...i'll put a pic of that later.
