jon_s Collection: 1st Update: 1:18 AA Gallarado *pics*

[jon_s]

Well, I ordered my first Auto Art model! A black Lambo Gallarado. They had a silver and organge one in stock, but I held out for the black one. Will have pics as soon as it arrives 8)

I am looking forward to getting my hands on a good model as I have only had cheap ones of a 993 Turbo and a McLaren F1 (I had loads more as a kid, but errr, well.....I took them all appart!)

I shall make this my official model topic 8)

I will update these pics, when I get my arse in gear and buy a proper camera!

May i ask, jon, where did you order this from.

I want to find a good UK retailer (online prefferably) where i can purchase Auto Art models, so any help would be appreciated. :D I, like you, am looking into making my own collection, albeit on limited funds :oops:

[jon_s]

I had to order it from Model Zone. They apparently have been building a web site for what feels like ages. It is costing £39.99 which is pretty much the going rate. However, keep an eye on the sales. Model Zone regularly have selected Auto Art models' on 50% sale.

gis and I were looking on e-bay, you can pick them up there, but they tend to cost a bit more as there is postage to think about. I think a Black Lambo came to £48.00 instead of £39.99.

Keep an eye on:

[Mr.Vercetti]

Welcome to the club m8. :wink: :mrgreen:

[gis]

yeah your right jon it came to £48 for the auto art gallardo on e-bay that we found,although £48 to get the model and have it sent isnt really that much over the price of an auto art model,if u cant find it anywer eelse then e-bay may be a good idea thenumber1

cant wait to see your model jon,i fear it will convince me to look for a gallardo model when it arrives,of course in black also,lol
