Yeah, I forgot that the USA have their own naming convention for just about everything . I always struggle with the model names for (lower end) Canon cameras.

I'm technically still wrong anyway because New Zealand doesn't use the same names as the American market.

Found this 1:43 Bburago Testarossa today in a Retro store.

This is a Tomica Limited S 1/45 scale Porsche 934 Turbo. Now, if you're wondering what is a Tomica Limited S model, allow me to explain its brief history.

Tomica Limited S is a 1/43 line made by Tomica in attempt to capture the market of 1/43 collectors, however this had proven to be a flop because a lot would still buy Tomica small scale models since the company is very well known for those, hence they decided to pull out the S line and only 9 models are in the lineup, and all of them are sought after nowadays.

This is one of the rarest, the Porsche 934 Turbo:

 

[Carlos]

You have me sold. What's your price?

Nice cars Jay!! I also need a 356 cabriolet, and that CRX, oldskool I want a few Honda's too, although they did always brake down on me...

Edit: Venom, I want your 934. It would look excellent next to the 935.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Me too. You sold me on these Tomica S Series now RCK!!

*Goes to eBay.*

 

[Carlos]

I wouldn't mind all 9.......

Well, good luck finding them all and they can be as expensive as the similarly-scaled (and also short-lived) Tomica Dandy series.

I have a soft spot for Honda's, especially the old school 80's and 90's. The CRX is a great looking model, and I like it a lot more than the AA Integra they put out a few years ago.

Unfortunately, I had to send the triple A Vantage back and hope for a swift replacement. The printing round the back window was on one side seriously skewed. Ah well.

Time for some Skyline? Guess so

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

but with refuelling trucks

and lights!

which will have a scene like this

to go with my piece of the real ship

 

[Antonisbob]

Man, that ships going to look awesome. Good luck... Definitely want to see the finished product!

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Man, that ships going to look awesome. Good luck... Definitely want to see the finished product!

[phil bell]

Wow, the Exoto 935 looks the business.

 

[VspecZR1GT2RS89]

Holden, I'm speechless with the ship...... I like it! Can't wait to see the finished model. 👍

 

[RCKakashi14]

Every time I see your 934 it soooo reminds me of this one I once built.

Just so I understand correctly - You've asked a Scalemodel builder to build these (incl. ship) for you - cool!

Whoa - lots of bling.

 

[massradia1]

Currently only got this, but also bidding on a m3 csl.

Should I buy this?

I'm thinking about getting a eb110.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Just spotted a 1:18 AutoART 1998 Toyota GT-One on auction. Currently it's at £15, no bids placed in the last three days and there's 12 hours of bidding to go.

Sounds too good to be true, but the model has its right mirror missing and the wiper is sort of detached from the front windshield.

I'm such a huge GT-One fan, but do I want one in perfect condition for 150 dollars or more or settle for this one? It's a 1998 version after all...


Thoughts?

 

[mp10]

i was just looking through Ebay and spotted the same one, I'm not a fan of buying damaged models, if you can get spare parts then fair enough. Other than that it looks pretty good, and being AutoArt is another 👍

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

yep sadly i dont have the talent (or patience ) to do them

Aye, I'd prefer to have one in perfect condition. But then again, how often do you spot one of these going around in mint condition on Ebay?

Being such a GT-One fan I might want to have one in my collection rather than none.

*EDIT*

Made a rookie mistake on Ebay. Was going for a last second bid on the GT-One only to find out that no one was looking at it at that moment as the bid that was given 5 hours prior to bidding end won and I missed my bid the last second
