I can see that, cause you dont know when to leave a car alone. At some point you need to draw the line and move on to some other cars and mod those. The M5 looked nice with the stripes. The ///M on the sides kinda ruined it. And then you wanted to do a spoiler. Just stop at some point :)

I see a huge debate growing about the recent matte black paint job on Cyrus' M5

I saw the car in person and believe me BEEM3R, it really looks MUCH BETTER than what is portrayed in the pics.

I am so much impressed with the paintjob that I even got the B-Pillars of my REAL 1:1 car painted in the same colour from Cyrus. cheers:

The only thing that is BAD is the CAMERA which is used to click the pics.:Frustrati. Too bad that I didn't have my camera with me.

This is one of the best mods he has done on his cars.

@Cyrus43
1) Please try to make some badging. Otherwise, it might look like a test mule.
2) SP™ will definitely sponsor the next paint can.

Thanks Salil. It was quite a surprise you gave me by dropping by. And you tell me when you want to do the Remaining part of the car. The other side i mean. We will go together and get paint. And you can sponsor it!! :D

Just added 6 new models to my collection

Attachment 17141

1. Jaguar XK140
2. Mercedes Benz SLR
3. Porsche Carrera GT
4. Mercedes Benz 500k
5. Audi R8
6. BMW M5



I got the Jaguar from Toronto and the rest at Shoppers Stop in Andheri.

Like the rest of my collection these are all 1:18s.

Im facing a big problem with space. All my models are sitting in what used to be a bookcase and you cant really see them that well. Shoppers Stop had a really nice display case given to them by Maisto. I looked through the Yellow Pages to find somethign similar and came across an ad that had a pretty decent looking display case that is made of aluminium. I'll be calling them in a while once their shop opens.

How do you'll display your models? Ideally Id like to have them out in the open on shelves but with the dust and fear of kids coming over and thinkign they are toys, Id rather have somethign that I can lock.

Apart from that Jaguar, all the models are basically Maisto Super Flops. Qualitywise. Specially the BMW M5 and Audi R8. The Carrera GT is good to have but not worth. I do not know what has happened to Maisto lately. They are just producing total crap out of nowhere.

Sorry buddy. I actually think the absolute reverse is happening. The quality is improving and unluckily the prices have increased too.
