Dingo's collection (August 30 - Ferrari F430)

[dingo]

This is my (small) collection of 1:18 models, will be getting another 1 or maybe 2 on Friday. I’m not sure whether to go for the ‘cheaper’ models like Hot Wheels and Maisto or go for AutoArt….which cost about double as much, what do you guy’s suggest?

The pics aren’t the greatest but you get the general idea. :D
My shitty attempt at making them look life size in an outdoor environment:

Carrera GT

Then my parents cat (shot these at their house last weekend) decided to join in on the fun:

[TT]

The pics outside are nice! And cars are sooo funny :D they seem to always pop up when you take pics of something :D

As for the Hotwheels vs Autoart question, my suggestion is to go with Autoart or Kyosho.. sure with the same model you could buy 2x or even 3x cheaper ones, but I'd rather have a single good model than 3 not-so-good ones :D

[aks]

ur carrera gt and enzo are really nice


My shitty attempt at making them look life size in an outdoor environment:


lol, i almost fell for it :wink:

[Mr.Vercetti]

Dingo22 Ill tell you what i believe. Its better to have 1 high quality model rather than having 2/3 Hot Wheels/Buraggo/Maisto quality models. And its even better to save money for a couple of handbuilts(1/43 scale).. They may cost a lot, but handbuilts give you a different kind of pleasure when you collect them. So id suggest you to save your money and buy Autoart/Kyosho 1:18 models. With this way your collection is going to be smaller but richer.

[dingo]

Thanks for your thoughts TT and Mr. Vercetti, I think I will try and stay with Autoart.....none of the shops around here seem to have any Kyosho models. :?
I would really like to get an extensive Ferrari collection though, but Autoart doesn't make them so for the Ferrari's I'm stuck with Maisto/Buraggo. :(

[TT]

but Autoart doesn't make them so for the Ferrari's I'm stuck with Maisto/Buraggo.

And that's very sad :(

[Mr.Vercetti]

Or try BBR, Technomodel, MR, etc... 1/43 scale.

check these sites:

www.karmodels.com
www.gasolinemodels.com
www.miniwerks.com
www.bbrmodels.it

[dingo]

Thanks man, but I really prefer to get 1:18 scale models. :wink:

[Mr.Vercetti]

Superb! :mrgreen:

[SilviaEvo]

http://img95.exs.cx/img95/7452/cat6.jpg
LOOK ITS CATZILLA!!! lol nice i love the F50

[sameerrao]

Lovely pics dingo ... very cool!

[sikx5]

Nice picss man, Esp the f50. But got the Autoart, the extra detail is worth it! 8)

[dingo]

Thanks guys, got myself an AutoArt 1:18 Gallardo today.....very nice. :D I compared it with a Maisto side by side and its just so much nicer, especially the interior which even has the floor mats/carpet. :D The only problem with it is that the engine cover doesn't seem to stay open by itself, which is a shame. :(
I will get some pics of it on the weekend hopefully.

I actually noticed the shop does have some Kyosho models, but not many. They have a couple of very nice Countach's, then there is an AutoArt M3 CSL and Miura in orange which I also want. :P

[Mr.Vercetti]

The Autoart CSL i have it, if you like to see it : http://www.ibiza.gr/gallery/miniatures

Lambo Gallardo by Autoart <--- A fine choice indeed m8. :mrgreen:

[dingo]

Here are a few pics of my new 1:18 Autoart Lamborghini Gallardo, haven’t stopped looking at it since I bought it. :D

[FPVPSI]

Ohh the Gallardo has great attention to detail...Autoart seem to make some of the best out there...Time to start my own collection... :D ...ohh and i love ya parents cat...im such a sucker for the furry things... :lol:

[dingo]

Thanks, i absolutely love the Gallardo. :D
As for the cat, he might not be the best looking cat but he's like a little baby with them....he will sleep anywhere (in the cupboard, cardboard boxes, tables, and the cook top in the kitchen). :D

[SilviaEvo]

damn i love the Gallardo we might need a custom shot :wink: :D

[dingo]

^ I'd love too, but it didn't come with a owners manual or key. :wink:

[gis]

nice purchase,a few Auto art gallardos in everyones collection on JW now,i love mine in the orange colour,its fantastic

[TT]

Very nice Gallardo! I have a yellow Autoart Gallardo too but it's the smaller sister :D

[dingo]

This is the 1:18 Kyosho Lamborghini Countach LP500S I bought today, it joins my Diablo, Murcielago and Gallardo. I am very happy with the detail of the car, it even has pop-up headlights which is very nice. J

next will have to be a Miura I suppose, to complete the lineup.

[sikx5]

hahahaha thats pretty nice, you need a lm just for the hell of it too 8)

[dingo]

^ I think I'll skip on the LM, not worth my money IMO. :)

[sameerrao]

Lovely car!

[dingo]

This is a 1/24 scale Ferrari 348tb I got off a friend for free, so I wasn't going to refuse it even though its nothing special:

http://img94.exs.cx/img94/1703/348tb.jpg
http://img94.exs.cx/img94/7038/348tb1.jpg

and a new display shelf for my (still small) collection, was made by my dad who is a bit of a wizard in making things. Its obviously not as good as something you'd buy from the shops, but once again this was cheap and it does the job very well. The dimensions are roughly 1.2m x 0.6m.....and should house between 20-30 cars (1:18 ) depending on how I position them. :D
I've only taken I pic and its hard to get a good one in this room, its a darkish room and with the lights on there is lots of reflections....but gives you an idea:

http://img94.exs.cx/img94/2959/shelf1.jpg

[TT]

Nice 348 and great display :D but with 1:18 cars it won't take too much untill it will be full :P

[dingo]

I know....thats a bit of a problem, will cross that bridge when I get to it as they say. :D

[sikx5]

Awesome Display cabinet dude, I just looked on the other page.

I just recived my first models i bought of ebay, :P and stoked, i want more...LOL

[dingo]

Thanks mate.....what models did you get and what scale?

[gis]

very nice cabinet,it looks great to display the models.id get your dad to start makin another one now coz it wont be long till you need another one,lol

[dingo]

well making this one caused enough grief for him, so asking for another one could be stretching the father-son bond.....LOL. :D I can still fit at least another 12 models in there, but since I just started working 40hrs/week I have a feeling I know where the extra cash will go. :)

[dingo]

Here are a few new pics of my Autoart 1:18 Gallardo, inspired by TT (and his hints)….I think they turned out ok but could be better, the background doesn’t look completely black even though it is.

http://img92.exs.cx/img92/316/DSCF1907.jpg
http://img92.exs.cx/img92/3810/DSCF1913.jpg
http://img92.exs.cx/img92/3774/DSCF1915.jpg

I might try the same with some of my other models during the week.

[TT]

They are nice, I think scale models looks cool on wood :D

[dingo]

My two newest additions, I was only planning on getting the Testarossa but as I was walking towards the cashier I caught the BMW out the corner of my eye and couldn’t stop myself from buying it. :D
So here they are:

1:18 Hot Wheels Testarossa, doesn’t look to bad for a HW model :)

http://img34.exs.cx/img34/3434/dscf21785qm.jpg
http://img34.exs.cx/img34/2987/dscf21776jm.jpg

1:18 Minichamps BMW M3 GTR Street/Strasse, this thing looks brutal…and very nicely detailed. Does anyone else here have the same model, because if you do I have a question about it?

http://img34.exs.cx/img34/2092/dscf22015ma.jpg
http://img34.exs.cx/img34/8209/dscf22002zd.jpg

And the happy couple together:

Great couple!!!!!!!

I almost bought the GTR myself some time ago!!!

First of all great new additions and about your question about anyone else owning a M3 GTR.......

http://img35.exs.cx/img35/4582/m3gtrstreetfront7oy.th.jpg (http://img35.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img35&image=m3gtrstreetfront7oy.jpg)

i guess thats me,lol so whats your question?

[dingo]

Great couple!!!!!!!

I almost bought the GTR myself some time ago!!!

lol....what stopped you? :?

..i guess thats me,lol so whats your question?

do/did you have any trouble with the bonnet on the car? The first time I tried to open it, it was very hard to do and eventually it came off the car completely. I managed to force it back in after a long time trying to do it carefully, it now sits in properly but is still very hard to open/close. :?

[gis]

hmmm i never had that problem,the bonnet is ok,only thing stupid with it is the dam thing wont stay open on its own,LOL

i gotta say,in red it looks great

[dingo]

hmmm i never had that problem,the bonnet is ok,only thing stupid with it is the dam thing wont stay open on its own,LOL

i gotta say,in red it looks great

LMAO....so you basically have the opposite problem, yours wont stay open and mine is too hard to open. However once I get it open it stays there, you could probably drop a brick on it and it wouldn't move...LOL. :D

[gis]

LOL now that i remember my M3 CSL has that problem,once you open it you cant close it without force,LOL

have you also realised the GTR model itself weighs a god dam ton,LOL

[dingo]

LOL now that i remember my M3 CSL has that problem,once you open it you cant close it without force,LOL

have you also realised the GTR model itself weighs a god dam ton,LOL

yes I did, so I had to go and weigh it as I was curious how much it was........1.19kg was the reading. :D

[gis]

lol,quite heavy for a model,especially considering the weight of other 1:18 models.my supra also is pretty dam heavy,maybe even the same as the M3 GTR,but my RX7 weighs pretty much nuthing,LOL

[MIHALS]

wow, 1,19kg :shock: . and I thought my Tuscan S is heavier, so I did the weight test :lol: ..... 0,85 kg and thats quite heavy for me... god....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/MIHALS1/MY_SCALE_MODELS/TVR_Tuscan_S/TVR-Tuscan-S.jpg

[dingo]

it is very heavy, I'm not really sure exactly what on the car it is that weighs so much.....but I like it when they are heavy. :D

[dingo]

I try to stick with 1:18 models but I saw these two (1:24) and they were really cheap so I couldn't resist. They are obviously not the most detailed models out there but for $12 you can't ask much, and I really wanted a Zonda. :D

Zonda:

http://img96.exs.cx/img96/6393/zondac1213ge.jpg

http://img96.exs.cx/img96/9739/456gt29bu.jpg

[TT]

They are pretty nice indeed, and it's very difficult to stick to one size only :D I know it :D

[SilviaEvo]

i try to be firm on the size because then the cars wouldnt match but in the case of that Zonda i think it will slide :wink:

[gis]

nice models,i like the zonda.so far i managed to stick to 1:18,but the effects of doin so are now showing,LOL

[dingo]

well I went there planning on getting a 1:18 Ferrari (355 or F40) but once I saw the Zonda I didn't have enough $$$ to get the 1:18 aswell. I had a feeling the Zonda would feel scared amongst all the bigger models so I got him a buddy in the 456GT :P

[MIHALS]

so you've got one 1/24 for everyday use and one 1/24 for weekends messing around :mrgreen:

[5.7 V10]

Nice collection dude.

I want that Diablo SE30 and the Zonda!

[dingo]

Nice collection dude.

I want that Diablo SE30 and the Zonda!

Thanks, but you can't have them. :D The Diablo is not an 'ordinary' SE30, its a Jota (only 12 produced apparently). :wink:

:o Sweet!

[dingo]

I have returned to 1:18 models now :D this time I got a UT Models 993 Carrera S. I really like it, the quality is very good.....especially for something which cost me about half of what a HotWheels goes for :D

http://img127.exs.cx/img127/3489/993carreras8ld.jpg

[pzgren]

wow, this one looks really great

[gis]

wow that does look pretty good.nice purchase.i only have 1 UT model and thats my ford escort cosworth and the interior on it is kinda sucky,how is it on this one?

[MIHALS]

nice 993!!!

[dingo]

wow that does look pretty good.nice purchase.i only have 1 UT model and thats my ford escort cosworth and the interior on it is kinda sucky,how is it on this one?

its not too bad actually, its like some of the AA models that have carpet in there instead of all plastic. :D
Its too dark here for a good pic but I'll post one tomorrow. :wink:

[gis]

thats cool,and your lucky to get one with carpet in it,my interior sucks on the cossie....exterior looks great same as your 993 does.i like the colour aswell :D

[dingo]

They also had one in a green/aqua sort of colour, but after 10mins trying to pick which one I wanted I took this......once out of the box I was very happy with my decision. :D

[gis]

i can see why its nice.and now thanks to you dingo i will be making a trip to the model shop next week,lol

[dingo]

Thanks insane. :D
Here you go gis, an interior shot for you:

http://img81.exs.cx/img81/2712/993interior6ob.jpg

the dials and a few other things look cheap, but I love the carpet - it just makes it look so much better than all plastic. :wink:

[gis]

yeah that looks pretty good actually.ill get a pic of the cossie in the morning to compare it.

once again...nice model mate :)

[dingo]

After getting the 993 Carrera S I was in the mood for another 90's sportscar - so I got myself a F355 Spider from Hotwheels. :D I was expecting it to be worse, but its not that bad for a HW model. The problem is I also bid for one on E-bay made by UT because I think it looks better, but I forgot about that when I bought this one - so if I win I will have 2 355 Spiders :?

http://img155.exs.cx/img155/3154/ferrari355spider7oj.jpg

Here are the couple together:
http://img156.exs.cx/img156/3227/r00104365ew.jpg

[SilviaEvo]

^^i want a Silver Ferrari 550 from UT they are so beautiful but that would be like buying an AA

[dingo]

There is a red UT 550 selling on ebay currently, only an hour left and its at $US 30.00 so you better hurry:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5947290481&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

[gis]

Very nice model.there is a silver 355 spider at my shop.ive always wanted it but always end up buyin other cars,lol

it will be good to have 2 355 spiders,especially from 2 different manufacturers

[TT]

Looking nice indeed! I need a 355 myself, spider or not.. still looking for the right one :D

[dingo]

Looking nice indeed! I need a 355 myself, spider or not.. still looking for the right one :D

well I know someone who might have 2 F355's in about 13hrs :P

[TT]

Oh, I was talking about 1:43 :P

[dingo]

Oh ok, who makes 1:43 355's?

[Mr.Vercetti]

^^^^^^^

BBR, Rosso, Kane... :mrgreen:

[dingo]

BTW, I just got outbid on that UT F355 on ebay - thankfully, because I would rather spend the money on a car I haven't already got :D

[sikx5]

Cool looking Spider dingo, Looks very nice.

I am also suprised at the hot wheels quality, its not bad for the price. :P

[TT]

Oh ok, who makes 1:43 355's?

As said by Vercetti, the top names only actually :D
but in "my" store they have some older models with discount prices.. they never sold one as far as I can see, and they are around 80 Swiss francs, almost 2x a normal 1:43.. and there are a couple 355 in there.. sadly they come with no display box, so I never took the decision to get one :D

[Mr.Vercetti]

TT at www.miniwerks.com (which is were I purchased my 355) you can buy display boxes. :wink:

[dingo]

My two newest additions, and the first ones I have bought online :D I’m very happy with them, the details are great….if you want any more pics just ask :)

BTW, I forgot to mention that on the Murci the engine air vent flaps (or whatever they are called) actually open....which I find cool :D

[dingo]

^ well throw it out the window in my direction.....even if its lower quality I'd still gladly have it :D

[sikx5]

[*dingo*]

they are in Victoria, their service was a little slow but it got here eventually :)

EDIT: that is actually me (dingo22) but I can't log in right now so I created this other account for now :D

[dingo]

I'm back under my normal name :D , and yesterday I went to the city shortly and saw this model at half price so I had to buy it even if it is only a HW :) The exterior is nicely done but as usual with HW the interior lets it down a little :(

550 Maranello:

[dingo]

These are the two models I bought over the Internet, I've been chasing the 911 for ages and finally found it :D I then decided to get the GT with it since it meant I got free delivery :wink:

The couple together :D

Great new additions congrats mate. especially the GT3 RS....im still hunting one of those myself.

[TT]

Great additions! I have both myself and I know they are a good choice :P

Nice choice for the blue stripped RS! And original color for the GT.. I only see red/white ones around here

[dingo]

Great additions! I have both myself and I know they are a good choice :P



I know, your pics of the GT are what made me decide to buy it since I have never seen it in person at the shop - only online in really small pictures :)

I personally like the red striped one better.

I keep changing my mind with every picture I see of the RS, but for the moment the blue is my favourite :D

[TT]

BTW dingo, I know it is a pain in the ass, but remember, we only allow thumbnails now from imageshack.. I should edit my scale models topic's first page myself too but there are so many pics :?

[dingo]

Shit, sorry :oops: Its become such a habit to post 600x450 pics of my models that I didn't even think about it :(
Do you want me to edit these latest ones?

[TT]

well at least the last ones if possible yes :)

[dingo]

Ok, its done :D I will edit the F550 pics tomorrow maybe, and the ones on the previous pages should be ok since not many people will view them anymore I think :)

EDIT: F550 pics done also :D

[dingo]

I have wanted an SLR for awhile now, and finally bought one in black - the best colour for it IMO :D
It is a 1:18 Maisto and looks very good for the price - and its the only option anyway as I wasn't willing to pay ~$250 for the CMC version :?

Congrats on the new addition :D

[TT]

Nice!!

[dingo]

My two newest toys arrived via post today - the first ones I bought through eBay. :D One came from Austria and the other one from the UK - and even with the postage they were cheaper than in the shops here (if they actually had them in stock that is). :wink:

[Mr.Vercetti]

That Porsche is magnificent.. How much?..

[dingo]

I paid £16.00 (24 EUR) for it, which in my currency is $AU 38. :wink:

[Mr.Vercetti]

^^^^

You r a very lucky guy dude!.. Can you take a pic with open parts perhaps? :mrgreen:

yep no worries, you'll have to wait until tomorrow though since its too dark here already for good pics :wink:

Nice additions dude!!! The DB9 is damn good... and not very expensive as far as I've seen... considering there are 1:18 Minichamps way more expensive! :D

yep your right, it was about the same price as the 993 :wink:

[gis]

Very nice additions mate.both of the models look fantastic,and the DB9 from minichamps you got at a very good price.

congrats on the new additions :D

[TT]

Nice additions dude! My collection stopped growing lately, so it's nice to see the new models the other JW members are buying :D

I know the feeling, these are the first ones I bought in 2 months - my longest 'drought' ever I think. :wink:

Congrats, nice models. I want DB9 too :wink:

Sorry the pics aren't the best, its a bit hard doing such closeups without a tripod. :wink:
The interior is generally pretty nice, the floors and rear seat area is covered in carpet/felt - which HW models for example don't have. :D

[Mr.Vercetti]

Dingo again you r very lucky.. This model is awesome!! R u selling it? :mrgreen:

[dingo]

Dingo again you r very lucky.. This model is awesome!! R u selling it? :mrgreen:

make me an offer and I'll consider it, but it would have to be alot more than I paid for it. :wink:

There are usually 1 or 2 of them on eBay so you should have a look and maybe buy one that way. :wink:

[Mr.Vercetti]

Im j/k man. :wink:

[dingo]

Another Diablo to my collection - this time a mean black SV. :D I got this one on eBay for a pretty good price again.

The pics were taken outside since by the time I get home from work its too dark inside - so I decided to use my polarizer filter. :D

Very nice indeed in black!! This section of the forum is pretty quiet lately! I want a ferrai 250GT or 250 GTO for my collection now, but at the store they have so many fucking versions that I never manage to choose one

[dingo]

I know you mainly collect smaller scale models, but CMC are making a 1:18 250 GT SWB - but like all their models it will cost alot! :D

http://www.cmc-modelcars.de/images/vor/Showroom-Ferrari-engl_gross.jpg

[TT]

Quite nteresting! Obviously I was taking about 1:43 ones, and most of them are racing versions (I'd prefer a roadgoing one, but well).. basically they are all the same, but one of the one used at the Torino motorshow in 196x, the other in the Paris motorshow 196x, the one which raced the Targa Florio, the other which didn't race it...
I was wondering if it would be wise to pick a blue/yellow 250 GTO or if I should stick to a red one

[dingo]

In terms of the GTO I would go with red, but thats just personal taste. :wink:

[dingo]

MY first new model in about 2 months - couldn't resist this F430 even if it isn't perfect. :) The shop also had the 1:18 MC12, AMV8 (which I didn't know existed) and a nice Kyosho Miura. But I got the Ferrari fairly cheap compared to what some people have been paying for them. :wink:

[momodels]

Congrats, nice Ferrari 8)

[gis]

Congrats on your new model mate.wouldnt mind the new F430. :D

[dingo]

I'm pretty sure the AMV8 was a HW.....but I might have been mistaken. :? It also wasn't a very nice colour - a funny shade of yellow/beige. :(

[TT]

Nice one, I saw it at the store today too, as long as a yellow AMV8. Like you I didn't know it existed!

[Carrera_GTcrazy]

I saw an identical F430 in the store today! Wanted to buy it but was broke! LOL nice model!

[sameerrao]

I bought the same one - its pretty nice! Better than most Hotwheel models
