Diecast Models

[Der Stig]

Finally got back home, more pictures to follow.

Beauty and the Beast:

I finally got to snag one of my holy grails, the H61 '70 Challenger R/T Hemi in all black. I paid more than I wanted too and there are some typical H61 QC issues, but it adds character

The R8 was an irresistible bargain that popped up on eBay. The color combo is awesome. The red interior and the metaliic carbon bluish-black color were meant to be, the details and features are also incredible! I'll be taking some pictures outside later! (It'll be 75*F/25*C tomorrow- in December )

As promised, here are some more pictures.

The R8:

The Challenger:

I've got a Revell 300SE Heckflo?e waiting at a friend's that I'll pick up later this month and, of course, with Christmas on the way, I'll have more to photograph!

I bought a 1:18 Koenigsegg CCX from AutoArt in orange today

Edit: Does anyone else own one? I'm struggling to figure out how the roof fits in the trunk.

 

[Loz]

It goes in upside-down with the flat edge first.

I bought an ERTL Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson edition today along with a VRSCDX Night Rod Special that should be arriving this week. The truck is the kit version that I have to assemble but at least I found one. They are getting hard to find as of late, especially the Super Crew's.

 

[Faultier]

Its been a while but I?m back with a lovely 964 RS from AA.
The weather is cold and bad so not more pics this time.
Pics with lightning just don?t look as good and I want to give you good pics guys.

AA did a great job on it

 

[BTM5]

Anybody know of a Land Rover Discovery 4 diecast model?

 

[Der Stig]

BTM5: I know AutoArt makes an LR3, though no one at the moment makes an LR4 that I can think of.

Faultier: That pistachio green 964 is a great model, I'll probably try to snap one up soon!
My Christmas haul! Got my three must-haves of the year and I'm pleased with all of them.

And the Miura with my GTO.

Representing a radical change in super car design is Lamborghini's mid-engined Miura, featured in bright and outlandish colors. The GTO was the last huzzah of the wire-wheeled, front engine dominance, with gorgeous flowing curves-in stark contrast to the sleekness of the Miura.

Thanks for looking!

 

[Faultier]

I have to check my cabinet...

ok all models are still in.
Perfect choices for the Gallardo and the Miura.
You did a wise job taking the miura from kyosho.

They only make vipergreen and in my eyes did the best miura.
The black SEL is also a nice one.

My humble collection in the new cabinet:

The lastest addition is the silver Bburago SL Roadster I got from my girlfriend. I love the Bburago metal kits, particularly those issued under the old Italian management

 

[Faultier]

your cabinet is already full
Thats a pain. Models take so much space.

 

[gt1750]

There can be up to 5 cars per shelf so there's a room for at least 10 more in the current config. And given the pace I buy/recieve die-casts in, that'll take a fair amount of time

Thanks, they're all great models in their best colors, IMO.

Yeah, my Xbox, PS3 and laptop got kicked off my desk for more cars

 

[Faultier]

well my 2nd red cabinet has place for 120 more models

A new stable mate for my W109, brought to me with the help of Spectre, who despite suggesting he run it over with his Pathfinder, did not do so

Revell's W111 300SEL with removable sunroof.

 

[Faultier]

Its been a while but I?m back in 2011 with new stuff

The black Mc Laren and the 944 Turbo are new.

I never wanted to buy more colors of the MAC but the price was very cool and the original car
is such an icon so more colors of it are cool to have.

So lets see what 2011 will have cooking in the kitchen for us.

Just bought this Renault Clio Williams off Amazon with some vouchers I got for christmas.

Nice additions, Faultier.

Cool Clio, Gingertom. One of Norev's good models.

 

[Faultier]

thanks Stig

yeah the Norev Clio looks actually pretty descent.

I wish there was a place in the UK where i can get cheap models. I'm looking to get the CMC Mercedes Benz Uhlenhault Coupe, but it's ?250-?260 on most, if not all sites. It's annoying that CMC sell it for ?190 on their site, but don't allow anyone from outside Germany to order from their site. Why do i have to pay ?60+ more to buy it in England? Thats a substantial amount that would buy another car from Minichamps or AutoArt.
