Paid with a debit card through paypal, we'll see what happens when i have to report it, i have saved most of the emails of the whole thing, so that should help.

Sorry about your problems with that auction bondy, I hope all goes through OK for you and you get your money back.

On another note, I have finished 3 tobacco conversions today.

McLaren MP4/13 Hakkinen (Minichamps 1:18) - West
BAR Honda 007 Button (Minichamps 1:18) - Lucky Strike
McLaren MP4/20 Raikkonen (Hot Wheels 1:18) - West

I will post some pictures on the weekend. Very busy this week!

got the second mosquito today! d-day one now all i need is the night bomber and ill have all the 1/32 mosquitos this one is number 2339/4000

It would be funny to have a radio controlled bomber with working cargo bay so that you can drop maybe a water balloon on someones head


The only scale model i have is a yellow ferrari F50 and a mv agusta f4 scale 1:12.
My dad has like 12 4x4's but i don't know the scale. They're sitting somewhere in a box.
I know one of those is a red Lamborghini LM002.

i actually went to find out about getting one of these today.

but apprently there isnt anything smaller than this.(has a wingspan of 186cm) plus it would have cost around £450 to get everything i needed.

 

[DustDriver]

Someone i know has a couple of R/C planes, the biggest has a wingspan of 2,5 meters i believe, could be more.
None of them has a (working) cargo bay though.

bought that the other day,rubbish film though most of the stuff has been ripped off from 633 squadron(much much better film) including the footage,also the ending from 633 was that the planes had to make a run down a valley and bomb a mountain to destory a factory,this seen then went on to be copied in star wars a new hope

nice. I just put a bid in for a mclaren F1 gt longtail in black.

 

[MustangSVT]

The Autoart version looks just as good if I take a look at it in my display cabinet and I paid only 50 bucks for it. 👍

im currently winning the ebay auction for this:


do you think it's worth it?

is their a scratch on the hood of that car?

 

[davygravy]

It looks to me like the reflection of the box across the bonnet.

 

[bondy_1625]

hsv: i guess thats 1:12 scale considering the arnage i see beneath it looks lke a 1:18.

ccx: yep thats worth it, mine cost £25 new, and i sold it a while back for £42 so its definately appreciated in price.

 

[Alex.]

I've been outbidden, so I'm going to wait until the very last few second of the auction and hopefully he wont have a higher autobid than me

your right that the arnage is a 1/18 (and cheap for a de! its only £59!)but that speed 8 is a 1/8 not a 1/12

Here are some pictures of the tobacco conversion I did during the week.

West McLaren-Mercedes MP4/20 Kimi Räikkönen







Also a pic of my Häkkinen MP4/15 (2000) with a magazine signed by him and Coulthard and also a picture showing "the move" from Spa 2000.

 

[GT-Scorpion--}]

Well I just got two new babies yesterday a Dodge Viper SRT/10 and Nissan 350Z.

The Viper is mine and the 350Z is my bro's but you might as well say that it's mine to.

Reason why cause he doesn't have the passion for cars like I do.

Wow! Who buys thing like that??
I was in Rome during the weekend, and stepped in to a Ferrari-store. They had a 1/8 scalemodel of this years F1 on display, for a mere 6400 EUR! You can actually buy a fully functional real car for that kind of money...

 

[MustangSVT]

Maybe Tom Kristensen would buy something like that? I don't have a single clue.

My whole collection has cost me around 2500 euro and I've got over 90 models, so you can definetely do something better with your money. Heck, I paid less than 6400 euro (that F1 model cost) for my real car, haha.

a bentley owner?
somebody asked me the same thing the other day and its basicly like if someone can buy a 150k bentley then 2k on a model is "nothing" compared to you buying say a 6k car and a 50gbp model.thats why most of these 1/8's are ferrari's,astons,bentleys etc,if you can see what i mean

[Sting]

[daan]

Hmmmm.

I wish CCX would vanish from this site.....


Oooops! Did I say that out loud?

 

[Alex.]

yep, you did 👍

I'm not going anywhere unless I am forced out.

Anyways, I'm currently winning a 911 GT1, 'rare yellow' if it is rare.(which it probably isnt)

Anyone here got a GT1 but UT?

 

[daan]

yep, you did 👍

I'm not going anywhere unless I am forced out.

I'm only joking with you....

I bought a F1 model from ebay yesterday. Benetton B199 Alex Wurz, in 1:18 scale by MC. Only $15, what a steal. One more model ticked off from my F1 wishlist.
