[T-Bird]

very nice liking that Enzo from Tamiya what did you pay?
I may have to post mine up now.

[TT]

For the model alone? It was 60 Swiss Francs.. a bit less than 50 USD at the moment.. then you have to add for the various colors needed.

[T-Bird]

well worth it. no matter how much I like Die cast quality and what not I love the satisfaction of knowing I made it myself. sadly I have about four I need to make first though.

[jon_s]

Nice job on the Enzo, puts my Porsche to hame pmsl!

I will have another go on perhaps a Ferrari 360 in a bit.

[TT]

Dude, you did that Porsche at 9.. at nine I was just able to destroy cars.. not to build them...

[jon_s]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO, I did that at 21!! The last model I built was 9!!

[TT]

HAHAHHA, I'm an asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D sorry sweetie!

[jon_s]

The idea of a 996 GT3 when I was 9 did amuse me!

[TT]

Well, now I'm not sure, but I think on Tamya's boxes or instructions there is something about the min required age for such item and it's not far away from 9 I think... i always wondered how somebody that young can have the patience to focus more than 2 millisecond on such task, but maybe somebody actually can :D

[gis]

i always wondered how somebody that young can have the patience to focus more than 2 millisecond on such task, but maybe somebody actually can :D

dude im 18 and cant concentrate on sumthin longer than that lol

anyway about your models,as u know i liek everyone of them and that enzo.....oh man thats amazing dude seriously

[callen]

TT that enzo is phenominal! great work. ive gotta sit down and finish my tamiya 360 i bought last august. damn im so lazy heheh i have the cabin complete and the drivetrain attached the the main structure, its gettin there but i need to buy more paints, and i have shaky hands, so i dunno if this kinda thing is for me. But back on topic, nice collection and great work on the enzo. keep up the good work building your own models, as u did a fantastic job on the enzo :shock:

[TT]

There are some details on the Enzo that sadly are not perfect at all.. like the engine cover not closing as it should... :P but I'm happy since it's definitely NOT my stuff to build models ;)

[callen]

yes i did notice that, well actually my girlfriend did, but hey im not here to nitpick u cause uve done a great job. if u cant see the flaws without really taking a hard look, then uve done a good job in my books!

[ngudan]

Those things look great!

Although i think your enzo needs an interior vacuum ;)

Nice work on the Enzo. I always find myself rushing models - and not finishing them of course.

dude im 18 and cant concentrate on sumthin longer than that lol

Dude, your not alone :P

[geekdiggy]

your collection is most impressive TT :D

this is the best of the whole set

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4615/Peugeot206WRC199901.jpg

[stracing]

impressive. cant wait to get my glass cabinet to show my schumacher collection

[schnell318]

You did a really great job with the Enzo TT, at least in the pictres it looks really well done. Congrats. :D

[Chingachgook]

Great collection! ASAP I have a digital camere I'll take pics of my collection (288 GTO F40 F50 348tb 250 GTO Lancia Delta S4 Lancia 037....)

[Mers]

I loved that Enzo dude...
Personally, I prefer the already made models..however i could swear that the enzo looks as if it was already made....very, very good

[fireguy]

tt - just in case you wanna know, your GT40 is made by Beanstalk.....they have exclusive rights to make the GT40 diecast.

[TT]

Beside the fact it is a Ford GT ;) and not GT40 :P, thanks :D it was difficult to tell since it has Ford writings allover the box as if they didn't want to let us know who did it :D
Of course I could have checked the underbody as I just did LOL.. but who the hell is that Beanstalk Group? never heard about them and the quality is quite good!

[Vansquish]

Beanstalk is also in charge of the 1:18 scale James Bond models of the Vanquish, XKR, and Thunderbird...I believe they also produce the 2002/3 Mustang coupe and convertible concepts...and yes, the quality is quite good on all the ones I've seen at a pretty damned good price too hehe.

[TT]

Yes I saw the new Mustangs for sale here in the same box, full of Ford badges ;)

[Vansquish]

Yup yup...the cars can also be bought in kit form...that's how I built my GT last week...I got the Yellow one...it kind of goes with the Exoto Ford GT40 Mk2 that I have.

[TT]

Well I went to the model shop just to check out what to buy next week.. and I came home with a Ferrari 250 GTO by Hotwheels :D

I'm not into vitange cars or racing ones, but this one was to nice to let it go ;)

[sameerrao]

Nice car. A bargain compared to the UKP 6MM+ for the real thing

[TT]

HAHA indeed, I paid just 50 Swiss francs ;)

[sameerrao]

It looks like it is intentionally darkened to make it seem a post race GTO - I am talking about the dark shadows around the wheel arches, air intakes and rear - dust and dirt after a race..

[gis]

very nice model dude.its rare to see those older ferraris in my model shop so a very nice find for you

[TT]

It looks like it is intentionally darkened to make it seem a post race GTO - I am talking about the dark shadows around the wheel arches, air intakes and rear - dust and dirt after a race..

Exactly, it is, and it is done VERY VERY well!!! Even the windshield is dusted, with the mark of the whipers! Really, when I saw it, I took out my credit card faster than my shadow :D

[SilviaEvo]

hot wheels also makes the 250 LM, 333 SP, 250 Testarossa, and a 355 Challenge like this with all the cool dirt and stuff after a race!

[TT]

I noticed on the back of the box, but never saw them around my store :(

[SilviaEvo]

I noticed on the back of the box, but never saw them around my store

aw i wanted more pics of the 355 Challenge

[TT]

Not a BBR ok, but damn good quality from Red Line Models! Gosh I'm proud LOL

And I love the mirror base!!

Cost... 175 CHF :?

They had also some yellow and black ones.. but red it the way to go :D

[Evo]

Looks very nice TT..Now I want to get one..

[yg60m]

Very nice TT !! Congrats :wink:

[SilviaEvo]

TT now im jealous

[ravenpaua]

Extrem well produced modell. Love the details of it, like the texture of the motor.

Congrats TT!!

[MIHALS]

it's 1:43, right? looks so small on pics :wink: but nice :!:

[TT]

Yep 1:43, forgot to say that ;)

[RAMAN]

Very nice Enzo indeed. Is it in metal? Cause the color looks a bit "dull", it looks....clay-ish.

[TT]

Touching it, it seems metal yes LOL

[italian_stalion_32]

nice, i love that murcialgo concept, i wanna no if u made it or if u bought it, cuz if u bought it, its preety new and it seems weird that it already has a model version. but the enzo is still the best, the wheels are nice and shinny

[TT]

All of them are die cast models I didn't built but bought as they are (beside the 1:24 Enzo) in a store, the Murcielago roadster is the cocenpt, not the final version, I bought it a couple of years back I think. (it's an Autoart)

[TT]

Finally some new ones!!!!!!!!!!

I paid 9 € for this one at a news stand in Italy. it's a weekly or monthly thing!! Next one will be a 959!! GREAT bang for the buck ;)

This one costed slightly more :?, done by Red Line Models like my 1:43 Enzo (see above).. same price, but fucking gorgeous if you ask me!
LE 500 and mine is #490 :D

[gis]

very nice models as i told u already,i love that CS :D

[stradale]

Cool, TT. Red Line models seems very good. I think they're quite succesful in filling the gap between Minichamps/Ixo etc. and BBR/MR. I hope they'll be releasing other models soon! Look out for Looksmart models as well. They're in the same class. If I remember correctly, Looksmart is a sub-brand of MR.

[TT]

Yes I agree, they are gorgeous! They also have a couple of race cars (550 and 360) and the Scaglietti here at "my" store... all priced as CS and Enzo... and sadly I never saw Looksmart models around...
but I saw a new Minichamps line that turned me on :D matte black cars!! They had a Z4, a Boxster, a Smart roadster and a couple more.. quite interesting! :D

[Mr.Vercetti]

TT, excellent purchase m8.. That CS kicks ass! U bought it from the net?

[sameerrao]

Love it. Awesome deal....

[TT]

TT, excellent purchase m8.. That CS kicks ass! U bought it from the net?

Nope, the local store is pretty nice and I don't like to buy such items without first seeing them with my own eyes ;)

[Mr.Vercetti]

^^^^
Couldnt agree more with u m8. Especially models from RedLine, BBR etc, that cost quite a few euros/dollars, u have to see them from close first.

[Chingachgook]

Incredible, fantastic collection !! Compliments TT, the limited edition CS is a must have ! In black with the stripe is a dream, a real DREAM

[stradale]

LookSmart has some very interesting models, among others a couple of great Lamborghinis. I think you'll like that orange Gallardo... :wink:

http://www.alpimodel.com/lsm.html

[TT]

I love their Miura Jota SRV!! I already have it in both 1:43 and 1:18, but I feel the need for a new one :D

[stradale]

LOL, I thought you'd like that one... :wink: I have seen their Gallardo and Urraco at first hand and the build quality seems very good. What do you think about the 350 Spider, BTW? Looks a lot better even than the one Minichamps made a couple of years back.

I checked again and it is indeed a sub-brand of MR.
Another nice piece of info for those that didn't know already: the 'R' in BBR and MR stands for Reali, which is the surname of the owners of the model car factories. They are brothers. :D

BTW, MR is going to introduce two new collections. Looks rather amazing I'd say... :P
High tech collection in collaboration with Bosica (!!!) (http://www.mrcollection.com/pages/hi_tech.asp)
Open&Close series (http://www.mrcollection.com/pages/open_close.asp)
So don't buy that LookSmart Miura SVR just yet, TT. You might want to save up for this one! :D

[bmagni]

the CS is great !! great purchase !!! ur becoming a red line addict !!

LOL thanks for the infos, but better for me to stick with regular cheap autoart or minichamps and similar ones ;)

[Mr.Vercetti]

LOL thanks for the infos, but better for me to stick with regular cheap autoart or minichamps and similar ones ;)

And RedLine as it seems m8, if i may add. :P

[TT]

Just a couple hopefully :D

[bmagni]

yup, one of the cars theyre gonna make is the veyron

[Mr.Vercetti]

^^^^^^
hahahahhahahaha indeed m8.. hahhahahhahahahha

[TT]

Yesterday I went there to buy an LM002 by Minichamps (1:43) I saw the day before but sadly it was already sold.. so I bought an Mk II 996 GT3 since the GT3 RS was feeling lonely :D

http://img80.exs.cx/img80/2625/996gt3andrs_01.th.jpg (http://img80.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img80&image=996gt3andrs_01.jpg) http://img80.exs.cx/img80/598/996gt3andrs_02.th.jpg (http://img80.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img80&image=996gt3andrs_02.jpg) http://img80.exs.cx/img80/2074/996gt3andrs_03.th.jpg (http://img80.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img80&image=996gt3andrs_03.jpg) http://img80.exs.cx/img80/5960/996gt3andrs_04.th.jpg (http://img80.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img80&image=996gt3andrs_04.jpg)

[MIHALS]

that new red GT3 looks realy good!!! and the RS is not gonna be alone at all :roll: :D

[gis]

nice model dude,goes nice with the RS :D

[sameerrao]

I am going to buy the 1:18 GT3-RS and 1973 Carrera RS when it is released in December. I am going for the white with the red script on the side :)

[TT]

Dang I'd like a nice original RS too :D

Since the LM002 I wanted was sold out, I finally got myself a Gallardo ;)

bad color quality just because my g/f played with the white balance setting, I was in a rush and didn't notice LOL

[MIHALS]

HEY TT's G/F :!: :!: :!: Don't mess around with those expensive cars :!: :!: :!: :mrgreen:
TT :!: again and better :wink: :mrgreen:

[gis]

nice model.i really wish they would release this auto art one in 1:18.........jon_s is gonna wet himself when he sees this model of yours.lol

[MIHALS]

nice model.i really wish they would release this auto art one in 1:18.........jon_s is gonna wet himself when he sees this model of yours.lol

Maybe I don't understand well, but AutoArt makes Gallardo 1:18 :!: If you think about the color, they do orange, black and silver, but not yellow as you maybe mean...

[MIHALS]

actually they do

Damn it! damn it damn it!

why the fuck can't the shops by me get their arse in gear! I have been waiting for the 1:18th for fecking ages!

edit: gis that one I saw can't be an auto art one, as the one in the link above looks vastly better. I am going back this weekend to ask what it is.

[Eric]

I've had the 1/18 Autoart Gallardo for a while now. :)

jon_s - i wonder whyt hey try and sell the one u saw for £40,good job u resisted and didnt buy,u could have been £20 out of pocket at that point,lol

[stradale]

Very nice Gallardo, TT. I have AutoArt's 1/43 Murciélago and it's a very good quality model. I expect their Gallardo to be just as good. Good buy!

[a007apl]

Nice LBs you've :D

[mclaren_Gt]

wow very nice collection
congratulations
:lol:

[TT]

Vintage model, 1:43 by DetailCars Platinum.. impossible to find such "old" Ferrari scale models usually :D so I jumped on it for just 40 CHF ;)

http://img90.exs.cx/img90/5020/ferrarif50_01.jpg
http://img90.exs.cx/img90/3926/ferrarif50_02.jpg

Sorry the crappy pics.. I'm pretty ashamed by them! Will update with better ones tomorrow I guess :)

[stradale]

Good catch there, TT! :wink: Detailcars built some pretty decent models. I've got two as well (Diablo roadster concept and 456GT). You should really come to the Netherlands some day for the NAMAC fair. With a bit of luck models such as these are up for grabs for a couple of euros.

[cho_888]

those pics are good TT! nice model, i like the silver f50 even if it is a model

[TT]

Next time maybe I could send you some € before the NAMAC and as you to grab something for me :)

[stradale]

Next time maybe I could send you some € before the NAMAC and as you to grab something for me :)

LOL. :D But seriously, I could. I just don't know when the next time is going to be that I'll visit the place. In two weeks there's another fair, but I won't be able to go, so maybe my next visit will be in two months. I'll let you know. :wink:

[TT]

Yes I would really appreciate if you would let me know in advance, so in case I would have some spare money to waste, we could sort out something!

[TT]

Here are a couple of better pics:

[ZfrkS62]

:DROOL: How do you get your pics so clear? I can't get ANY of my model pics to come out like that. I had to touch up a little detail in the rear wing of my F2003-GA and it still looks terrible.

[TT]

Uhm.. some quick advices for scale models pics:

- take pics outside with natural light when possible. You won't be able to reproduce so much light inside w/o a professional set up
- use higher "F" setting to have everything in focus (in my previous pics F was set at 2.8 instead of 8 and you can see the difference)
- put your camera on a tripod and use a remote control or timer, so you won't touch it at all when the shutter will be activated

That's it :) you would probably need to use the macro feature on your camera if you go pretty close to the model too.

Of course it is nice to use a professional set up as MIHALS does for his models, with proper lights (and a good camera) you can get very good results even inside :)

[ZfrkS62]

i knew it! i have a crappy camera!
1.3MP Fujifilm Finepix.....no $$$ to upgrade :cry:

[stradale]

Yes I would really appreciate if you would let me know in advance, so in case I would have some spare money to waste, we could sort out something!

No problem, I will. :wink:

[Leo_M3]

Very nice collection there TT:)

I also have that Carrera GT model you got :)

I find the metallic paint is too metallic and its too sparkly if you look closely.

Metallic paint is soposedly from a real car and it dosnt exactly work in somthing one 18th the size ay?

[TT]

Yes you are right, in some cases, especially in 1:43 (the CGT is a 1:43, not 1:18), the paint quality, even on autoart or such is not that good...

The worst one in my collection is this:

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9499/HondaIntegratypeR01.jpg

And it is an Autoart :(

[SilviaEvo]

then why buy such a thing? btw that Enzo costed a pretty penny

[TT]

I bought that Integra because I was there to buy a 1:18 one for a friend, so I wanted a 1:43 one for myself LOL! And at the store with normal light it wasn't so bad.. even if I look at it it's not that bad... but in pics.. ewwww

[dingo]

I have stayed away from this section for a while now....too avoid temptation.
I couldn't help myself today though, went into a model shop and came out with a 1:18 Maisto Murcielago. :D
How do you keep your models stored TT, do you have them all in a large display case or something? A picture of your entire collection would be nice. :)

BTW, once I get a few more models (only the F50, Diablo and Murci so far) I will open my own topic. I saw a nice red 1:18 F355 Spider at the same shop which I will own soon hopefully. :wink:

[TT]

Hehe you just need to ask ;)

Here are all my 1:43 models... most of them are on top of a shelve:

http://img82.exs.cx/img82/4731/together01.th.jpg (http://img82.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img82&image=together01.jpg)

A couple of them are just a bit closer to the ground ;)

http://img82.exs.cx/img82/8085/together02.th.jpg (http://img82.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img82&image=together02.jpg)

And my most cheriched ones at the moment are here in front of me (since the day I bought them)

http://img82.exs.cx/img82/5131/together03.th.jpg (http://img82.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img82&image=together03.jpg)

The 1:18 ones are spread around the appartment at the moment LOL

Sorry for the quality, the pics were taken with my old medieval camera ;)

[gis]

man i wish 1:18 came in those awesome boxes,so much better to have them on show,mine look ok,but as u can imagine with 1:18 room is taken up quickly,LOL

i like the 2 ferraris under your monitor :D

[TT]

Yep that's why I try not to buy too many 1:18: no little display boxes, you have to buy them as extra and the cost a lot.. and also because of the lack of space :D

[gis]

lol yeah the cases are like £20 each,it would cost me £980 to buy cases for them all now,LOL i dont think ill be doin that just yet. :lol:

[TT]

Think how many new models you could buy with £1000 ;)

[gis]

LOL.......i dont think its smart about thinkin which idea is better between spending £1000 on cases or £1000 on models.LOL man imagine if i did that :lol:

[MIHALS]

oooohhhh TT, THANX for remaining my person about my "proffesional" pictures :D :!: you made me happy :wink:

for those who haven't seen my gallery yet:

********** http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12242 **********

[dingo]

Yeah I also wish the 1:18 models came with display boxes, firstly so they are easier to store and stop them from gathering so much dust. :(

[TT]

Hell! Today I was in Como, Italy and just checked out a small scale models store there... I am still speechless! I never saw soooo many BBR, MR and similar models in the same place.. easily HUNDREADS of them!! I almost bought an MR Diablo VT Roadster, orange, but it was 190 Euro LOL! The I saw the BBR 360CS, 220 Euro so i had to avoid that area of the store, but it was CRAZY! I ended up adding 2 Miuras to my collection LOL.. the marvellous 1:18 Autoart SV (Millenium edition), in yellow, and an 1:43 Minichamps (azzurro)... I'm sure I could have spend at least 10000 euro and only buy like 1% of what I NEED!!!
Luckily I also got a nice 512 BB at the newstand for some 10 Euros the other day..

Pics will follow when I will be back home.. hopefully soon!

[TT]

And here are the new babies:

Ferrari 512 BB, unknown manufacturer, some 10 €, 1:43

[stradale]

Great new additions, TT! Miura's are always good, especially for a nut like you. :wink: Even though the 512BB doesn't look like Minichamps quality, for that kind of money it's absolutely a steal. :D

[sameerrao]

Damn TT you alway post 10 models at a time ... lucky bastard ! :lol: :lol:

Lovely Miura - I might get one one day!

[gis]

nice pics dude,and nice models.the miura is one of those models thats a must have,ill be keepin an eye out for the auto art version at my shop :D

[dingo]

Great new models TT....the 1:18 Miura looks sensational. What did it cost you?
There is the same one at a local model shop, if I remember correctly it is $AU 110...which is roughly 65 Euro. :D

[TT]

The Miura costed 94 €.. a bit high even for Autoart LOL,. but worth it! The was also a red BMW M3 GTR street wich was to die for! Same price! And I wanted to go back there for a black 1:43 SLR but had no time :?

[bmagni]

nice cars and nice pics !! how many miuras until now ?

The was also a red BMW M3 GTR street wich was to die for! Same price! And I wanted to go back there for a black 1:43 SLR but had no time


the gtr is just uber cool... and the slr... i couldnt have resisted...

Not many actually :) the two you see in this page and two Jota ones

And 1:43 again by Kyosho

And of course you also need at least a Countach and a Diablo :D

[TT]

Uhm.. two new babies came today.. I was in Geneva for some car pics and found a scale model store I never saw.. very very nice!

This is quite a find, a Pagani Zonda Roadster! It is a 1:43 as most of the time with me, and done by Spark Model. It costs a bit more than a Minichamps or Autoart but it's not bad at all.. some details could be better, but well worth the money!

And this was just a bonus since I noticed it while paying.. I am not a big fan of the SLR, but in black it rocks! By Minichamps, 1:43 obviously

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Sweeeeet, love the SLR, in black it looks sooo much better.

BTW TT, how much do they cost?

[TT]

Roughly 38 € for the Pagani and 30 € for the Merc

[dingo]

very nice new additions TT, do you know if anyone makes a Zonda in 1:18?
BTW, I hope you got some other nice stuff (i.e. car pics) in Geneva.....looking forward to the upcoming post. :D

[TT]

Yup, some fine cars today ;) nothing frantic though...

[frozzu]

I thought it was sl55 amg or some kind of sl but it was SLR :)

[TT]

LOL I didn't even notice ;) thanks! Edited!

[gis]

Very nice models man,love the zonda.those 1:43 minichamp models which you have a few of now all seem to be limited production of a certain ammount dont they?

[yg60m]

Two beauties !!!! The Zonda roadster is great and the black SLR is gorgeous :D

[TT]

Very nice models man,love the zonda.those 1:43 minichamp models which you have a few of now all seem to be limited production of a certain ammount dont they?

Yup, always something between 1000 and 8000 for the normal ones I think :D

[bmagni]

great cars again TT !! ur collection is growing reallky fast !! :D

Hell! Today I was in Como, Italy and just checked out a small scale models store there...

that would be nice ! :D

[TT]

Do you want a street address for the store in Como? I could find out next time I will be there :) but quite a walk from Mexico dude :D

[DanielW]

awesome collection.

[sameerrao]

do you know if anyone makes a Zonda in 1:18?

I think Eric has one - not sure where he got it from. You could pm him if interested...

[Eric]

I don't have the Zonda in 1/18 yet, I only have the photo that Motormax sent me. I'll will be getting it as soon as its available. :)

[bmagni]

Do you want a street address for the store in Como? I could find out next time I will be there :) but quite a walk from Mexico dude :D

yeah please... i have family there, so either if i look for something and i cant find it they might help and if i go there i have an extra store to visit. :D

[TT]

I see, well I don't know the exact addy, but if they live in Come you can tell them it is pretty small, stuck in a corner between two houses, a 3 min walk from the Duomo, following the usual walking / shopping road toward the Mondadori bookstore and so on.. I am sure they know where it is if they will look for it :)

[Mr.Vercetti]

I quess that this is the store that TT is refering to... :

MANTOVANI MODELLISMO
VIA VITTORIO EMANUELE 74 - 22100 - COMO
Telephone: 031268458 Fax: 031268424
:mrgreen:

[TT]

Well, I ordered this Miura months and months ago.. since it wasn't coming I bought the yellow one in Italy just in case.. and of course just a couple of weeks later.. here it is.. so now I have two Autoart Miura SV :D (1:18).. yellow and orange.. I don't think there are other colors :D I am happy!

http://img6.exs.cx/img6/3743/LamborghiniMiuraSV09.jpg
http://img6.exs.cx/img6/5446/LamborghiniMiuraSV10.jpg

I also got a GT3 RS but will pick it up tomorrow (blue graphics).. amazing!

[TT]

Hehe, you will get there for sure! As for the Miura, I hope you will fall in love with it as I did :D I aim at having hundread of Miuras in every scale

BTW, they got the 1:12 Tamyia Enzo today at the store!!!!!!!!!! Also a 1:12 Murci but compared to the Enzo it is boring...

The Enzo is 750 CHF.. that's 620 $ or 490 €

They look very cool together.... Strangely i prefer the orange one for some reason now i see them together, the GT3 RS should be cool in its rarer colours too.... got planning permission for that new garage extension yet?? :P

**EDIT** 100 muiras is your aim LOl you are the biggest muira fan on JW and the world... lets hope some day you get your very own 1:1 model then your collection will be complete

[TT]

LOL yes soon I will need either to rent a garage/box either to move to a bigger place :D (since I can't dump my g/f's dolls I fear) :D

Tomorrow I will add another 1:18 ... there is then maybe an E30 M3 EVO still 1:18 and then I will try to control myself and go back to small ones!

But the new Autoart box with 3 windows is marvellous!!!

BTW, they also put aside another GT3 RS for somebody we know around here ;) and even an the Autoart BMW E30 M3 Evo (red / black wheels) for me :D
They even had the stunning M3 GTR in red, always by Autoart... hard to resist!

[a007apl]

Nice LBs :P

[dingo]

yep, it sure looks great. Its on my wish list, the same one is in the shop for $AU 85 (~ 75 CHF)....what did it cost you?
I also love the boxes, same one my Gallardo came in. :D

[gis]

awesome pics,i cant wait to get my hands on mine.the new boxes are great my M3 CSL and Gallardo came in them.

[SilviaEvo]

you are so lucky the GT3 RS is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[T-Bird]

finally TT you got the Porsche do you think I should get that to add to the GT3R/RSR?

[T-Bird]

1:1? LOL

very nice TT, i aspire to have a collection such as yours :D

PS: i'm working on a Miura too...i want that blue one ;)

Wheeling 5 days ago! from AutoArt!

[TT]

finally TT you got the Porsche do you think I should get that to add to the GT3R/RSR?

Yes :D

[TT]

I finally picked up the E30 I reserved last time (Autoart, Millenium edition, 1:18)... and WOW, the Miura in the Millenium collection is already top notch, but this one manages to do even better!

I never saw a scale model with its steering wheel actually doing some 3 turns lock to lock.. maybe not 3, closer to two, but well, a lot of degrees!!!!!! Like the Miura it hasn't "sticky" tires bt they are "softer", like if really inflated and they deform a tiny little bit when you put the car down or press on it!

Details is astonishing of course, the only thing I noticed about cars with some sort of cloth/fabric inside like the Millenium Autoart is that it generate dust INSIDE the car and it's VERY hard, read impossible, to remove it proprely

Anyway, here are the (a bit crappy since I need to play GTA LOL) pics

And here is the Evo beside the regular E30 M3 by Minichamps. The Autoart one is WAY better in terms of quality

Nothing that special.. just bought a 1:43 Minichamps BMW E46 M3

Nothing that special.. just bought a 1:43 Minichamps BMW E46 M3





nice one, do they make that one in steelgray ?
i once saw an alpine white one with imola red interior on ebay :shock: about €400 i think, specially made for a bmw club from japan i think :roll:


i see you also got the 1/18 AA GT3RS ( blue striping ), i've got both
BUT i'm not that happy with them, there is something wrong with the front bumper and sideskirts --> front bumper is to low or sideskirts are to high :?
we sent an e-mail to AA and they admitted the fault and said they would correct it when making the normal mk2GT3 but they won't change it on the RS :x

[TT]

Oh well, still very nice the RS ;) as for the E46, no idea, check out their website maybe ;)

BTW, today at the store I saw a stunning Subaru Impreza WRX, white, no stickers but the WRC body!! Amazing! Autoart in the new display box BTW!

[Cigarette1]

yea it looks great !
they also released the veyron, 2 different colors and each model has different wheels

[TT]

Hehe yes, they had to ;) so at least Bugatti could say the Veyron hit production :D scale model production that is :D

[stradale]

Nice M3, TT! I've got a 1/43 Minichamps E36 M3 in red and after seeing your pictures I think I need to complete it with a red E30 and E46... :wink:

[TT]

Dang I have the E30 in blue, the E46 in red and I would buy the E36 in wichever color I could find but never stumbled across one so far...

[Mr.Vercetti]

Amazing models TT... Especially the E30... WOOW! :mrgreen:

[gis]

BTW, buying an E46 "because I have the E36 and the E30" is a dangerous way of collecting models... one day you'll start buying a 996 GT3 mk2... and a couple of months later you'll have all the 997, 996, 993, 964, 930 and 911 Porsches... and no money in your account, jeje.

lol as in the similar way im doin with all silver 996 range,LOL

anyway thats a dam nice model TT.im same as you and would love to find an E36 M3,me in 1:18 anyway then also a E30 M3

[TT]

Well, I started with a 996 GT3 RS (1:43).. I then got a 996 GT2, 996 GT3, 930 cabrio, CGT and GT3 RS in 1:18... it's already pretty bad :D$

Danny, whenever you find an AA E30, jump on it!

[gis]

Danny, whenever you find an AA E30, jump on it!

LOL is it a mistake that the model was in the shop last time i went and i didnt get it? LOL

[TT]

Big one yes!

[gis]

christmas is coming up so......maybe my golden opportunity,LOL they also had the miura in aswell,could be worth gettin those me thinks.

[TT]

Well, there was a nice hobby & such fair in Lausanne these days... not really scale models related, but a couple of guys had some nice bargains there :D

So here is my first Herpa.. it's plastic.. so not really up to the level of Autoart or Minichamps, but still sweet, and with doors and all that opens, it is sweet :D

nice models TT.....and it wouldn't be possible for you to let a Miura pass would it. :D
I also got a 348tb today strangely enough....it was free from a friend in 1/24 scale, nothing special but I will take many things if they are free. :D I will post a pic of ot tomorrow along with my new display case to house my models. :D

Rule #3: never let a Miura model pass :D

And yes you are right :D if it's free, why to say no? :P

[dingo]

LOL.....what are rules #1 and #2?

[TT]

#1 - Always search for Miura models when you are in a scale models store

#2 - Never enter a scale model store if you don't have the cash to pay for a Miura

:D

[dingo]

LMAO....thats the rules TT lives by, they don't apply to everyone (well people who don't have an obsession with Miura's like you). :wink:

[TT]

Uhm.. never?

:(

[Pimp Racer]

Nice collection TT

[TT]

Since most of my pics in the first post are crap, I think it's time to take some better ones :D not sure if somebody is interested :D probably not, but just wanted to show the new GT40 pics wich are for sure a bit better than the one I posted before:

great pics of the GT.i like that last one,looks so real :D

[TT]

nice pics TT, but why the black background it makes the lines of the car disapear......

I always tought light backround for dark cars and dark background for light cars.......makes it stand out more....still great pics of a great model.....and thats two things I dont got......... :wink:

Well you are right, but how can you tell if red is light or dark? :D it's right in the middle :P

Oh and BTW, not sure I have a big white cardboard around :P

[dingo]

nice work TT....look very professional. :D
Any tips to help me take nice pics like that of my models...please?
What did you use as the background (the black area)?

[TT]

First of all, you should ask to MIHALS maybe ;) but he uses more professional material than me :P

For this new set, for the ground I used that wood used for model planes for instance.. you know, the one that is VERY light.. "balsa" in italian... but you barely notice it is wood in the pics LOL
the background is a simply black A1 cardboard :)

The most important part is to use some good light. Either natural one (not easy though to have the good amount and not too much), or artificial lights, in that case it is always better because you can move them around while the sun does whatever he wants :D you just need enough light and VERY important, the camera has to be on a tripod or standing on the ground.. anyway not handheld.. I always use the timer, so I can be sure it is completely immobile :)

[dingo]

Thanks mate.....might get myself some black cardboard and give it a go on the weekend. :D

[TT]

Finally the first post now has some slightly better pics :D

And here is the latest addition :D

"Ferrari 360 Spider" , 1/43, "Made in China" ... nothing else!

[TT]

THe question is... you bought it for the perfume or for the Modena??? :D

I asked if I could pay the whole price and have the car only... but the lady didn't accept :D

[gis]

wow thats very nice man.i wouldnt mind that set myself.is the quality of the model any good?

[TT]

The price was 58 CHF, that's around 26 GBP, 38 EUR or 46 USD at today's exchange rate... it's just 8 CHF more than the regular Minichamps or Autoart 1:43 to give an idea.
Quality is very good, Minichamps level basically.. I'd really like to know who does this model :?

[gis]

yeah thats quite an interesting price for a quality model.perfume and it bein ferrari anyway.great find for you man :D

[Mr.Vercetti]

TT what about the perfume? Is it good? :mrgreen:

[dingo]

That looks great man....and the perfume is a bonus. I have actually got a small bottle (is that the right word?) of Ferrari perfume which a friend bought in Switzerland and gave to me when she visited Australia....I will take a pic when I get home and post it so we can see if its the same you got. :wink:

EDIT: here it is, looks identical :D

http://img94.exs.cx/img94/6144/ferrariperfume.jpg

[TT]

Yep my bottle is basically the same, just a bit bigger :D

And yes, it smells good :D

[dingo]

it sure does smell good.....but as you can see I haven't used much of it as I want to keep some in there forever. :D

[Evo]

Yep my bottle is basically the same, just a bit bigger :D

And yes, it smells good :D

Dose it smell like burning rubber or engine smell. if nether than it's not worth it for me :lol:

As for the LM002......well its still a Lambo I suppose. :wink:

So you finally got your blue and white RS (73 and 2004) set. Nice!

And two new models bought at the news stand today.. around 10 € each.. the Vette is pretty shitty quality IMO, but the 512 is still acceptable :) And both were a bargain obviously :)

[dingo]

for 10 euros you can't really complain about quality - so a good buy I would say :D

[Daggernite]

10 euros is very good to say i did'nt relised the 512 was a model at first. Only noticed after I saw the vette :)

[dingo]

TT, I know how much you like to take pictures so could you please post a couple of pics of the Ford GT's interior and engine bay for me? :)
I am planning to buy one in the near future, but it will be online (since the local shops don't have it) so I can only see one picture of it in the box but no details.
What are you impressions on the models detail/quality?

[TT]

Well, I actually already have a couple of pics taken with the old camera when I bought the model.. not to quality but maybe enough. Do you want me to take bigger, better pics?

http://img6.exs.cx/img6/656/fordgt070sb.th.jpg (http://img6.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img6&image=fordgt070sb.jpg) http://img6.exs.cx/img6/6015/fordgt082cw.th.jpg (http://img6.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img6&image=fordgt082cw.jpg)

Not sure for how much you can find it online, but should be pretty cheap. I paid it the price I usually pay for a 1:43 and quality is very good actually!

[dingo]

Thanks, they are big enough - I just wanted a rough idea of what it looks like on the inside :D
I have found it at a shop in Adelaide (South Australia) for $AU 49 (~ 43 CHF) which is not bad for a good quality 1:18 model. :D

[TT]

Shit! I was in town this morning and at the store (closed Monday morning) I saw the Red Line Models F430 arrived! I saw a red and a yellow one, and I fear one of them will be in this topic this evening :D

[dingo]

I hope your fears come true - I want to see some pictures :D

[TT]

But dang, red or black? The Enzo is red, the 360CS black, so maybe the 430 has to be yellow?

[sameerrao]

get both colors TT ... go on ... you know you want to :P

[TT]

This ain't the kin dof advice I was looking for! Remember they are not that cheap! :P

[dingo]

I would go for yellow, so its different from the others :wink:

[stradale]

You couldn't resist buying some more models, could you? :wink: They look great, considering the price! At the model fair I saw a Herpa F40 for 10 euros and I thought you'd be interested, but the model wasn't in top condition.

I wouldn't advise you to buy the Red Line F430. I was at the car model fair this saturday and at first sight they look beautiful, but if you look a bit longer it's faulty. The roofline is too high IMO and distorts the proportions of the car when you look at it from the side. The rear lights are too small as well. They don't fill up the cutouts in the bodywork properly. The rear lights are supposed to stick out from the top a little and in the model they don't. I was rather disappointed with it.
If you do want to buy it, take a look at the F430 from LookSmart, which costs about the same as the Red Line and it looked identical to me (including the mistakes I mentioned above). Only difference is, LookSmart offers two more colours than red and yellow. It's also available in titanium and blue metallic. I liked it in those colours. http://www.looksmartmodels.com/eng/news.asp

BTW, I bought the red 1/43 Jota SVR by Kyosho. I think you have it as well. It's a great model!

[TT]

Too late!

Yes I can see your points stradale, but well, you know when you NEED to have something? I know I told you I wasn't ready to buy new models for now, and then, BUM, I stumble across it and it is already here in my collection.. I am terrible! But very happy! And although the blue one looks good, I'd rather go on with Red Lines as far as possible and anyway such models have to be seen before beeing bought, so it's the only option I have :D

[gis]

oh man that F430 is awesome,how much was that Matteo?

[TT]

I paid 170 CHF for it, that's around 77 GBP, or too much basically :D

[gis]

lol i think i would buy at least 1 or 2 of them at that price just for the exclusivity of them.i just wish they actually sold them in my shop here

[stradale]

Too late!

LOL! You need to get a grip on yourself, TT... :wink: :D No, I can understand perfectly.

[sameerrao]

The 430 and Stradale look fabulous!

[dingo]

LOL....no suprise that you couldn't resist :D The model looks very nice (and good colour choice :wink: ), I'm eagerly awaiting the release of an (affordabl) F430 in 1:18 :)
What is the detail like on the interior and engine?

[TT]

It's good of course, but hard to take in pic since you can't open the doors or engine cover

[detltu6]

Very nice addition. I too will await an affordable F430 but I want a spyder.

[dingo]

^ I don't think a 430 Spyder exists, but a 430 Spider might appear :P

[stradale]

^ I don't think a 430 Spyder exists, but a 430 Spider might appear :P

I think neither a 430 spyder or a 430 spider exists, but I do think an F430 spider might appear. :P :wink:

[dingo]

LOL....you know what I meant

[stradale]

Exactly, but when you're nitpicking, make sure you got it absolutely right. LOL :wink:

[TT]

[sameerrao]

Love the TDF...

[Pwoarrr]

Wow, that gullwing is gorgeous! 8)
Congrats on the new additions.

[TT]

Well today I finally found the IXO 288 GTO again, so I got it

[TT]

Uhm.. our 288 GTO actually differs in various details like the band on the windscreen or the front bumper, so I don't think they are the same.

At first I thought yours where the Fabbri Editore ones (for Italy at least), but not so sure.

How much do you pay for them BTW? Around 10 € each I think..

IXO just got the rights for all the Ferrari and of course they sell them for the usual 35-40 €, so I doubt they would accept to work with a newstand's collection at the same time.

[gis]

Very nice new additions,i like the 360,detail looks very nice

god knows why i bought a yellow 360 when all my other ferrari models are red...looks weird bein th eonly yellow ferrari,lol

[TT]

Actually I was thinking something along these lines too..

today I was cursing IXO for online producing them in red, but now that I see them all together, beside the red 360 Spider, Red Line Wnzo and cheap 512BB, all in red, they look cool, and the yellow 420 and black 360CS kinda weird in their company LOL

[gis]

LOL......everytime i go to the shop i have to hold myself back from buying another 360 but in red......but it really is att he moment the odd one out if u put the ferraris together which they are on my shelves

[SilviaEvo]

i usually can resist the temptation. i have to practically hold myself back.

[dingo]

More new models, TT your going crazy again :wink: I have to say the 288GTO looks the best out of that lot.....although the other 2 are not far behind :D

.....Red Line Wnzo and cheap 512BB, all in red, they look cool, and the yellow 420 and black 360CS kinda weird in their company LOL

the Wnzo and 420 must be new Ferrari models I haven't heard of yet :P I'm sorry I shouldn't be so picky with typo's :(

[TT]

HAHAHAH and I wasn't even that tired when I wrote that :D

[TT]

Finally two new cars.. both cheap news stand's one, but well, still ok I guess :D

[dingo]

very nice additions, I would like a 612 myself in 1:18 but the HW version doesn't excite me :)
Yet another Miura for you....will it ever end :P

[TT]

New model, and this one is 100% thanks to Roland, aka stadale!! he often attend this big fair and finally I asked him if he could find something for me.. I thought it was an impossible task, especially since I didn't want to spend too much.
I asked for a dark blue/tan F355 berlinetta.. and well:

Isn't it a sweetie! And it costed 8 €! (Detailcars BTW)

You should have seen the pics of the car before Roand's dad put his hands on it to restore it to full glory and beyond, a big thanks goes to him too!!

My favourite V8 Ferrari in my favourite color scheme :D I am definitely happy!

Thanks again Roland!
