Well, I haven't got anything exciting tbh - got these about 5 years ago and decided to collect them - didn't get very far - haha

I'll start with this little gem, which is probably worth bugger all images/smilies/biggrin.gif

1/58 Porsche 959 (1986)

Ok, stop laughing - these are my actual cars - though still really cheap and probably not worth anything, seeing as they cost £8 each images/smilies/wink.gif

I still love em though:

1/18 Jaguar XJ220 (1992)

No. Thats just a set of four model that everyone could buy back in 1999. It was sold out quickly and now very expnesive. By then it only costs about 125EUR... 8)

swek · March 28th, 2005, 7:55 PM

I have exactly three models. Guess what. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

This collection is upgradeable images/smilies/tongue.gif

swek · March 28th, 2005, 8:06 PM

Yes it is, but it's more of a joke my friends started because I was the only one who defended Schumi during discussions. Now I get a Schumi car whenever they see one for cheap.

jasonchiu · March 28th, 2005, 8:17 PM

i have thoses f1 model cars some where in my toy box as well. and i had the xj220 till my sister broke a bit of it and i chucked it away.

You can get one in scale 1/43 and I think AutoArt is planning one in scale 1/18 images/smilies/smile.gif

swek · March 28th, 2005, 10:26 PM

u think n e 1 would care images/smilies/tongue.gif

Faultier · March 28th, 2005, 10:33 PM

Sorry guys.... images/smilies/cheers.gif

I edited my post and I´m not angry if someone does not like collecting models etc.
Feel free to post your collections, question if you search a model or just talk about them.

swek · March 28th, 2005, 10:38 PM

I think they were referring to Jasons reply. images/smilies/lol.gif

v0od0o · March 28th, 2005, 11:17 PM

hehehe yes Faultier, we're picking on jason, don't worry about it. You'll get used to it and before you know it you'll be teasing him urself 8) images/smilies/lol.gif

Faultier · March 28th, 2005, 11:25 PM

Aight good to know that images/smilies/smile.gif

If he gets on your nerves...why just ban him images/smilies/wink.gif

Mischief007 · March 28th, 2005, 11:26 PM

What swek said is true.

Jasonchui's enjoyable. images/smilies/smile.gif

Anyway I wanted to know which companies make the best die cast models in 1:18. I've seen the AutoArt and will definitely be getting them but who else??

Faultier · March 28th, 2005, 11:36 PM

Exoto is the best but very expensive...

AutoArt, Kyosho and Minichamps are the three greatest modelmakers. If I had the choice in 1/18 I´d take AutoArt.

In 1/43 is Minichamps very big! AutoArt and Kyosho are equal images/smilies/smile.gif

Okay...if he´s enjoyable.....let him stay images/smilies/lol.gif

Mischief007 · March 29th, 2005, 1:00 AM

Thanks Faultier. images/smilies/smile.gif

justin syder · March 29th, 2005, 2:21 AM

Exoto doesnt have the variety that Kyosho, Minichamps and AutoArt have images/smilies/wink.gif

SiR_dude · March 29th, 2005, 3:22 AM

I'm no model buff like you guys are - the few I have are all Bburago - not the greatest build quality, I think - but you model guys might know more - are they good compared to anyone else?
