Eric's collection - (1/18 Blue Ferrari 250 California)

[Eric]

I'm starting my own thread for my 1/18 diecast models.

[Eric]

Here's my modded Lamborghini Gallardo.

unfortunately, it's only Photoshopped. :)

[TT]

I'd say, "luckily" PS only :D a good PS job but the original car is already perfect, no need to mess up with it too much ;)

^^^i agree
that looks all riced out

[Eric]

I just picked up my first Ferrari F1 car.

It's the F2003-GA Ferrari Lauch Car with driver Michael Schumacher. I found it at my local Auto Zone parts store for $29.95.

[la-loutre]

nice, now you will buy the Marlboro decals ?

[Eric]

I just picked up the new Corvette C6 in blue this past week. I think its the best color for the new Vette so far. :)

[Eric]

Here are a few pics of my new C6 paired with my blue Scaglietti. :)

[gis]

WOW that C6 is amazing.i didnt no the model was out yet,who made it BTW?

i saw the 50th anniversary vette yesterday in my model shop £47 it was,so quite expensive compared to other 1:18 by auto art

[Eric]

It's made by Hotwheels.

[ZfrkS62]

i am assuming since you only paid 29.95 for the F2003 it is the 1:24 scale that came with the dvd? i ask because the auto zone i got my FW25 from wanted 39.95 for the 1:18, which i think is horseshit since the williams, mclaren and renault were 29.95 for the 1:18's.
now i gotta spend an extra 10 bucks to start the grid set-up :?

[tigerx]

may we see the engine of the C6 ;) LOL. since it's from hotwheels, i'm assuming the engine isn't that great.

It's the 1/18 scale version. It was marked at $39.00 but it rang up at the register for $29.00. :)

[Eric]

The engine detail isn't great.

i wonder if i can get them to do the same for me....

[Eric]

Have them do a price check, they may be trying to get rid of them.

[Eric]

Here's are some new pics of my 1/18 Autoart Porsche 996 Turbo.

I just picked these 3 up today.

[sameerrao]

Wow! the 997 is already out ... Can you post and head and tail shot for the two cars .. one is a Carrera S and the other a Carrera right?

[TT]

Can you also let us know who does the 997? Does seem Autoart quality but I could be wrong...

[Eric]

Although the quality is pretty good, it's no Autoart. All 3 models shown are made by Maisto.

Here are a few more pics of the 997's.

This one is the base model 997 Carrera.

[Eric]

I just took some new pics of my '73 Porsche 911 2.7l RS.

[Eric]

Check this out!!!

The bottom picture is my 1/18 Maisto CGT, I created the effect in Photoshop. :)

[gis]

such nice pics and nice models.

[TT]

Nice PS job! I fear the wing is fixed on the model :( It would have been nice to raise it for the pic ;)

[Chaos in 1983!]

Eric can you lift the spoiler on the Carrera GT???

[gis]

u cant on the one i have and mine is a maisto also,such a shame as it would look awesome if u could move the rear spoiler

[Eric]

The spoiler does lift on the Concept version of the CGT, but not on the production version. :(

Which really is too bad because it looks really good with it up. :)

[SilviaEvo]

Man you are lucky! i want the 997. i saw a Maserati and a Gallardo at Costco but i forgot my money :(

[gis]

forgot my money :(

gutted,lol

[Eric]

Here's another attempt on making the model look like its real world counterpart.

It can be tough getting the same angles.

[MIHALS]

[Eric]

MIHALS, that is the concept version correct?

[Schwalbe]

The black 997 looks so real !

[crazyxzer0]

hot damn! Thats a great scenery you got there too. Did you make that yourself?

[Eric]

The scenery is real, the photos are taken outside. Its only the road base that I made.:)

[Eric]

I just some new pics of my Hotwheels F355 GTS this morning. :cheers

hey eric, i just picked up the 1:18 F2003-GA, and sure enough 29.95 :D But i also saw they have R. Schumacher as well....*sigh* a collectors work is never done :wink:

[MIHALS]

[SilviaEvo]

wow i love the wheels! btw how much did that cost?

[Eric]

Originally this model sold for $169, but I won this one on eBay for $75. :)

[sameerrao]

Great deal - I saw a Exoto Jagermeister 935 for sale at a dealer in Philadelphia for $150. The wheels and roll cage makes it look very real...

[Eric]

I took some more new pics this morning. :)

[SilviaEvo]

can you take a few more pics of the Metalic Enzo? btw how do you change the wheels?

[Eric]

I have plenty more pics that you can see in my Photobucket (http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v258/Exotic118/) album. :)

To change the wheels I simply just swapped the two chassis'.

[SilviaEvo]

To change the wheels I simply just swapped the two chassis'

so you just unscrew the bottom and pull it out? i might try it!

[MIHALS]

Nice shiny rims mate :wink: :!:

Yes, there is 6 screws. It comes apart very easily. A lot easier than most models.

[Eric]

[TT]

I really hope it will never come here! I don't want to buy yet another 1:18!!

[dingo]

Yep the GT3 RS looks sensational, I had a look at a 1:18 AUTOart with blue striping last week and nearly bought it...it cost $AU 85. :D

:twisted: :cry: I paid €150 ($195) including shipment + taxes
so don't ever order from www.aa-collection.com

[Eric]

OUCH!!! :shock:

It's a nice model but it really isn't any better than any of there other Murcielagos. Even though it does come in very nice packaging with a display case and key chain.

I really wish they could of made it part of their Millenium edition line and improved the quality of it. Perhaps they could of improved on the door mechanizm and installed side windows in it. Also it would of been nice if they had plumbed the engine.

+ they even forget a very important detail :cry:
the 40th has silver callipers

[Eric]

I am rather pleased with this model for what it is, a budget model. I only paid $12.50 for it. Plus, Motormax is the only game in town if your looking for a 1/18 Zonda. :)

1/18 Motormax Zonda (http://community.webshots.com/photo/154842035/240659454EYAPrw) <-- Click here

[dingo]

nice, I have the 1/24 version. I have seen a few of these 1/18 Zonda's on ebay for about $16 USD - but with postage costs it gets a little expensive to get it to Aust. :(

[SilviaEvo]

on a scale of 1-10 what would you rate the Motormax Zonda? i am thinking of buying one if i can find one that is

[dingo]

^ well since your in the US there are about 5 on ebay currently, and shipping costs won't be that much for you (unlike me :( )

[Eric]

On a scale of 1 to 10 I'll give the Zonda a 6. Using this scale, I'd have to say that most Maisto and Hotwheels would fall between 4 and 7.

I would have to say that the quality of the 1/18 Motormax Zonda is as good as any Maisto or Hotwheel model. The paint work is decent, much better than I expected it would be. The doors don't even use the typical 'dog leg' hinges, which is a plus.

Motormax did a really good job with the overall look and shape of this car. This model has plenty of presence in my collection. It is well build and has a solid feel to it. The ground clearance is just right; it doesn't sit to high.

The detail on this model also isn't bad. All 4 color of the Motormax Zonda have the same color interior, blue/white and black simulated carbon fibre. Fortunately this color combination works best on the blue Zonda. On the other color Zonda's it just doesn't look good at all and probally should be repainted. The engine also look decent and since the real Zonda doesn't have much visible in the engine bay, like belts and wires, Motormax was able to a good job replicating it.

The worst part of the model has to be the rims, they are just OK. I think that they are slightly undersized and a little to shiney. I think that if Maisto or Hotwheels had done this model they would have done a much better job in this area.

If your going to be buying this model don't expect Autoart quality. If your happy owning Hotwheels and Maistos, you'll be happy with the Motormax Zonda.

All in all, I am pleased with Motormax's efforts on the Zonda.

btw. If you want the Zonda in 1/18 Motormax is the only option.

[gis]

Thanks for that review.it was actually helpful.i will onlyget one in blue now as it seems the best colour combo as u say. :D

[Eric]

I just receive my 1/18 GMP garage mechanic figures for my garage diorama. They look great!!!

:lol: great photo shoots. Brilliant idea! :clap:

[momodels]

Nice model, I want one :twisted:

[SilviaEvo]

does teh change kit come standard?

[Johns]

those diorama shots are Awesome!! :shock:

[MIHALS]

wow, great conversion :shock: :!:

eric, tell us something about it please! where did you take those TechArt parts, new bucket seats, rims etc... it's amazing conversion and the car looks much better now :D

[Eric]

The whole kit is made my Hotworks which includes the 996 Turbo and all the parts to convert it into the Techart GT Street XL.

[TT]

It's just amazing! And of course taking the pics inside the workshop showing the progress is brillant!

[Eric]

Thanks guys,

I hope that Hotworks will be able to expand this new line of theirs. I would love to see some Ferrari and Lambo tuners done tastefully like this Techart Porsche.

[c0wb0y007]

Hi Eric,

A nice and original idea. Very cool, but what is that girl mechanic doing there ?? It's the other guy who does all the work :lol: :wink:


Cheers

[Eric]

I had broken the rear spoiler when putting the car together but now it's fixed.

I took the car outside for a few more pics.

I just recieved my Elite Ferrari F40 and I'm very pleased with it. While it's still not quite as good as a Kyosho, it is much better than anything HW has done in the past.

dude that workshop is cool 8) i loved the techart stuff! really cool 8)

[momodels]

Congrats, I still don´t know if buy it or not :?

[Eric]

Congrats, I still don´t know if buy it or not :?
The Ferrari F40 has always been one of my favorite supercars of all times and I've been longing for a decent model of it, in 1/18 scale, for a long time. I've had both Burago and Hotwheels versions of it but I never really like them, too toylike.

Now, that Mattel is introducing this new Elite line with a much better quality F40. This one has definately filled that void in my collection.

Over all, this is a very good model. But it lacks in some of the finer details that a Kyosho Ferrari might have. Like popup headlights, engine detail, and better windshield and side windows.

Mattel is definately moving in the right direction with their Elite series but $70+ might be a little to pricey for it. $50 would be much more reasonable.

Look around, there are deals out there. I got mine for $38 on Ebay, add in the shipping and I paid a total around $50 for it.

[momodels]

As you maybe know McLaren F1 and F40 are my dream cars so also F40 is must have for me, I have it from Kyosho in 1/12 and 1/18 from Bburago. Yes, Elite is better than normal HW version but still I don´t like some details on it. For example steering wheel is too low...I just hope that one day it would be in 1/18 from Kyosho, Exoto or other manufacturer :roll: At the moment I am happy with Bburago and Kyosho version 8) BUT it is also possible that one day I buy this Elite too :lol:

[MC12]

WOW awesome cars and i love the progress being showed from the 911 turbo to the techart porsche. Do you know where i could get the workshop and where i could buy the techart porsche conversion kit :?:

[Eric]

I just bought a few for my wife, she likes the matchbox size cars. I even bought her a display cabinet for them.

The quality is amazing for this size model, much better than the 99 cent hotwheels I've bought for her.
