Dingo's collection (August 30 - Ferrari F430)

[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. 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.





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

[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.
So here they are:

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




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?






And the happy couple together:

[TT]

Great couple!!!!!!!

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

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

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.

[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

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

[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 ..... 0,85 kg and thats quite heavy for me... god....

[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.
