@Zibby, Let me think of something. I must have something that I have that I can use to make a spoiler.

@Gautam What scale is the SLR??

@FiFan, LOVE that viper!

@Auto freak: thanks man !
@Dussey: Thanks I knew you'd love a citroen:).
@Manish: Boss you seem to be a chhupaa rustom, with these photography skills ! I loved the classic Yamaha scoot, more pics please..
@Cyrus: thanks man, I'll need your help in painting.
@Gautam: Awesome CLK. Wonder what more you have up your sleeve ?

Hey guys! nice to see the forum is running nice...wounderfull collections guys.Unfortunately am out of the City-so,cant see pics properly in PDA's small screen.I called home just now,those three cars have arrived-I will return home tuesday-post pics after that.[Sorry cant post a thumbs up icon :-( ]

@Dippy,Cyrus,SuperSelect and all guys thanks for taking me the decision(heard from mom that those 3 metals arrived are dashing-ufff,I cant wait!Infact she told that the Williams F1 has been done nicely to give a after race effect on the body!)

@Cyrus ...Umm..thats true for me now-I had to fight at your age for my thousands of hobbies :-)
I dont know why Indian parents inhibit their child's hobby,opposite that of the West (offtopic).

The SLR and the CLK are both 1:18.

Nice to see that your Mother actually encourages it.
My mom hit the roof when I bought the CLK DTM!! :D:D

Same here. Luckily my mom doesnt know the price of these collectibles :D but my wife gets pissed on my buying these expensive toys.

A little :OT
Any idea on how to keep these beauties away from dust?
I have a glass cabinet with doors but within a week of cleaning, I see a layer of dust on them again :Frustrati

True in my case, to my mom most of them are gifted (few really are), others at discounted price (over 40%) and rest are worth few hundred bucks. :D, But you can't hide facts with your wife, they are a clever breed.

I'm very lucky that way.

1. My mom doesnt mind me buying models because she knows thats only where I spend my money and no where else and

2. I dont have a wife :D

I bought a can of Formula One Wax couple of weeks back for my cars - by nature i am lazy and didn't get time to use it properly.

i was playing with the GTR and the Mustang (both black) and found that the gloss has become dull - dust and finger prints - tried cotton to clean it but didn't work that well.

Opened the can and applied a small amount on the cars and walllah! the result was mind blowing. the black shine is awesome.

Again feeling lazy - need time to apply the F1 wax on the Panda, M5 and the Silvia RC
