Wow RPMPKDMFF, That's an awesome collection of old classics! Wallpaper Material! Have you posted detailed pics of the general lee? What make is it?

Thanks much, the wallpaper thought has crossed my mind on numerous occasions.

Here are some more pictures of the General Lee. I'm a huge Dukes of Hazzard fan.

Started working on the 1:12 motor sports racing team set. Her are the pictures

1.) The kit



2.) After bonging the pieces together with cyano cement / glue.



3.) After Oil paint (the one used by artists). However it is taking a long time to dry :(. There is more painting to be done on them. I got the idea of oil painting from online forums but I think enamel is the best and easy. Why? Answer in my next picture



4.) The tools after enamel spray painting. I have a reason to cherish. They look glossy and have dried hard in just one day. the oil paint is still sticky after 2 weeks.



5.) I am also working on



But since this is a birthday gift from my wife Strictly no modifications. Sad as 1:12 is the best scale to mod, you will find lot of mod stuff easily :). I will add the detail tough.

Hey Manish are they available in Bangalore?

no no, I got it from eBay Hong Kong. approx 5 grand including shipping via govt. post in 10 days flat. Luckilly I did not have to pay a single penny in customs.

@RPMPKDMFF: Nice classics in your display.:thumbs up
@manish: The racing team set is interesting. Congrats on your Cooper kit too.
@Amar: The Lancia Fulvia is awesome!
@Zibby: Nice haul man. Love the lexus

Here's a 1:24 - 1960 Chevrolet Corvair from Franklin Mint

Few pics of latest addition to my collection, this happened after eons, all thanks to my Auto journo friend who gifted me this:

Awesome shots :thumbs up! Bandhav. The second pic could easily pass off as the real thing.

fellas:
any pointers to a 1:12 or 1:18 scale model for the Lamborghini Aventador. I had mailed AA but they replied back stating they dont have any intentions of manufacturing one.


Thanks,
Abhishek

Bburago makes them in 1:18. In orange and black. Retail for around Rs. 1.7K. Hope this helps. Never heard that AA was planning to make them anyways! else there are brand like Amalgam for 1:8 but its very very expensive.

Awesome pics and very professional bandhav..

and there is other alternative that is MR but its not functional car.

Me & fellow TBHPian Rosso Corsa went on chasing BMW Vision ED, which was on the sets of MI4, next day; TBHP's thread's link was shared over the world.
So here, we both got 1:64 scale model of BMW Vision ED (i8 Concept) (which cost us a BOMB :eek:), thank a lot to a fellow TBHPian who informed us regarding this & kept informing as well.
So here is the pic of it. Detailing considering its very small scale is amazing. Detailed pics will be posted soon.

@siddvi: Awesome Corvair, man - after my heart :-)
@hrishikesh: Rocking BMW !
@bandhav : Great car, superb photography !
