The Scale Model Thread

Cyrus: I guess there is some combined weight related cap beyond which you'll have to pay the customs on these. I not very sure, read about this somewhere and I am yet to experience it :P

Not really, if there is no packaging or something, you dont really have to worry much. But I know I am going to have some problems. Lets see...

Got a 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL 'Gullwing' Uhlenhaut Coupe - 1:18 CMC from my twin for Christmas... my first CMC and it is truly outstanding. Just managed to get one pic as my 2 year old nephew is around and I'm not about to take a chance with the Gullwing. So more detailed pic after the 6th of Jan, till then enjoy this.

Cyrus43 · 29th December 2010, 13:00

Holy Canolie!! That is one shattering gift!!

Still have to take the plunge with a CMC/BBR/MR.... Not even thinking of a Versus or an Amalgam as of now..

AUTOart 2004 Dodge Viper Competition Coupe, Plain Body Version, Black
AUTOart 2006 PORSCHE 911 (997) GT3 CUP CAR (GREEN LIVERY)
AUTOart 2004 Subaru Impreza WRC P.SOLBERG/ P.MILLS #1 (Winner Of Rally Japan)

I have locked all others back home at Kochi, so I have only the pictures of the Subaru as of now. Enjoy!

I managed to click the pictures when I went home for Christmas. So here goes my AUTOart 2005 BMW 320i (E46) WTCC. The others are on the way.

@ Deetjohn - do you mind sharing your address - i need to whack the BMW

It is stunning

@ Daddy - i want that BMW - i need THAT BMW only :(

cityvic · 29th December 2010, 17:17

Damn that Beemer looks gorgeous.

Scorcher · 29th December 2010, 23:52

Mummy!!! I want that Bimmer, I so want it!

Its gorgeous dude. Kudos to you. Proper drool material there.

deetjohn · 30th December 2010, 10:51

Thanks planet_rocker, cityvic & Scorcher for the nice words.

I really love the 320i WTCC. The body is so proportionate with a long low slung bonnet, tight body with wheel arches and a stubby boot. And as this model is a sealed one, AUTOart claims the attention to detail on the outside is tremendous, and I second that. I always wanted a E36, E46 3er. The design exudes pure and subtle class. If only someone could give me the AUTOart BMW M3 CSL.

I am a lazy photographer and had to take snaps of all my 5 models in a jiffy, so I forgot to take the 320i's interior snaps showing the WTCC racing trim along with a full roll cage. I have locked all my cars in a glass showcase away from the prying eyes of my numerous little cousins back home. Check my Subaru on page 555 and trust me, posting on that page was pure coincidence.

Now to the second one, the mighty 2004 Dodge Viper Competition Coupe, Plain Body Version in Black. Enjoy my friends!

Maverick5490 · 30th December 2010, 12:51

@ deetjohn: Awesome touring cars there! Posting a couple of pics of the same Beemer by Kyosho.

Edit: My bad, its a E90 320i, is awesome nonetheless!

I'm not a fan of rally cars, but that Viper is awesome.
