The Scale Model Thread

Cyrus43 · 7th February 2008, 14:16

some updates on my ///M5..

blackadder · 7th February 2008, 18:24

Thanks for the invite Beemer but if I ever make it to Dubai, the first thing I am going to do is get myself a Minichamps Arnage T. I guess you are looking for a 1:12 model or is it a Minichamps 1930s LeMans Bentley in 1:18. Either ways I am looking forward to seeing your latest latest. lol. I have read somewhere that Minichamps is likely to re-release the McLaren F1 car in 1:12 scale. Keeping my fingers crossed and bank account ready for that one.

Had always seen this thread but somehow never posted my collection.

Volkswagen new Beetle - Bburago

BMW 328i Maisto

Porsche Carrera GT Maisto
Love this one.. is IR controlled with functioning head and tail lights

Porsche Cayenne S Maisto

Lamborghini Diablo, Bburago

Hope the pics have come out ok.. posting pics for the first time on tbhp.
Also pics were taken using a 'macro studio'(AFAIK), a homemade box fitted with paper inside and a light outside for illumination - credits to my friends

hey meghan..these pictures have come out amazingly well..i love that CARERRA GT...simply beautiful

BEEM3R · 8th February 2008, 02:20

Thanks F50 & agspins the Ms and the R8 are breathtaking. These cars however are so spotless I dont even want to get fingerprints on them so have just put them back in the box.

Blackadder Ive seen the Bentley Blower but these guys are charging quite a bit for it. I dont know about that one yet. But the one or maybe even one(s) Im looking at it is a lot newer than that. Lets just say even in real life they were limited editions. I would really love the UT Mclaren F1s but theyre so over priced on Ebay (..hmmm maybe). But 1:12 is not something I want to collect. By the way my Arnage T has still not been unscrewed even once. It arrived with a broken mirror which I regret not having fixed. Hopefully it doesnt get out of the box in anyway. Ill cry!

Meghan great photography but if Im not mistaken that 328i is not a Maisto. I have a feeling its UT. Miasto has not made any 4 door hinge opening cars yet. If shes a UT its a hidden treasure. You wanna sell

?

blackadder · 8th February 2008, 09:23

Meghan are the wheels melting on the BMW 3er?

Maverick5490 · 8th February 2008, 09:36

Beemer.. that collection is astonishing!! got myself a Kyosho BMW X5 E70.. amazing attention to detail.. will post pics later..

Great pics meghan!

meghan · 8th February 2008, 09:37

Yes, it is indeed a UT. Sorry for the mistake. Got it with the subscription of OD a few yrs back. When the model came, it had the 'chrome' grille missing.. any idea where i can get one or make one?
And the wheel are slightly melting.. car was left in open sunlight once when I was not there.. I think the melting or whatever happened then.

Some more pics

Found the build quality of UT quite bad.. esp. the front headlights module which keeps on coming outside..

Maverick5490 · 8th February 2008, 10:57

Hey guys.. a few scale models have come in for the showroom display and sale.. here r a few pics.. first.. the BMW 750Li..

Made by Kyosho.. nice detailing..

Regards,
Mav!

Maverick5490 · 8th February 2008, 10:58

Now the X5 4.8i..

Couldnt take proper pics because of bad lighting..

Cyrus43 · 8th February 2008, 11:00

@maveric..are these for sale to normal people also or do you have to buy a BMW..coz in Autobahn Skoda they had one WRC fabia and when i asked if it was for sale they said it was only for customers

Maverick5490 · 8th February 2008, 11:01
