GTPlanet Scale model thread

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

That would be pretty sick when finished. You probably now, but if not, Spark did make Le Mans diorama.

Bit pricey though

How much? Looks like 1/43?

 

[Carlos]

That is correct and will go for €137,99 locally..

If you are living in the US, not a lot of money for a nice 1:18 model...

edit:
nevermind. I'll just post pics when it's here.

American Ebayers, you might want to keep an eye on an Oreca Viper GTS-R if you are a fan of it. There's currently one for $52 on Ebay. I don't really like buying from US sellers as they generally charge $40-50 for shipping.

My 1:18 Porsche cabinet (with a 1:43 961 thrown in for good measure).

That 917/30 is so freaking boss.

Great collection, thanks for sharing. 👍

Thats awsome! That Gulf 917 would be awsome with my collection.

Where did you get it?

 

[DRIFT4EVA]

I'm looking to build myself a model display cabinet. MAY incorporate a bookshelf too. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any good websites for guidance. I have about x20 1/18 models to display and x3 1/12 models along with some little treasures I have obtained like a couple parts (small) off v8 supercars

Any help will be greatly appreciated

 

[Bram Turismo]

IKEA.

Nuff said

 

[DRIFT4EVA]

[Carlos]

If I say IKEA out loud my house falls down!

That's only about a third of my 1:18s, I'll share as many details and take some more photos after I've had a sleep. Check back in about 2 hours.

EDIT: Doing it now actually. Check back in 15 mins.

Thats awsome! That Gulf 917 would be awsome with my collection, which I will be showing to you guys soonest.

Fixed that for you.

 

[phil bell]

That's a lust worthy collection. Nice room too I gotta say, love the theme.

 

[Venom800tt]

908 HY is indeed a Norev, the F1 GTR is a Guiloy, the 911 GT1-98 is a Maisto, and the 1996 911 GT1 is a UT Models (UT later became AUTOart).
Anyway a random older pic:

Maybe tonight I will take some new pics...
Actually now that I think about it, I never did a group pic of ALL of my race cars, both sports car and open wheel...

 

[Doog]

Not completely satisfied with these. I blame not that great eyesight leading to some guesswork with the focusing and the breezy weather from the outdoors making me shiver a little. That and average lighting conditions.

 

[SVX]

Then I found a 1998 Mercedes CLK-GTR on Ebay in perfect condition for just £12. Even if it is made by Maisto, it's still a very solid model and the only CLK-GTR with better quality is the AutoART CLK-GTR, which is a whopping $450.

That same night I placed a £7 bid on the 1998 2nd place Porsche 911 GT1 and won the auction. I probably won it because everyone is going after the winning #26 GT1. And that one is going for $50 and upwards. I've even seen them at $80 with a highest price of $115. Even if it is a Le Mans winning car, it's still made by Maisto. And I'm not paying anything over $30-40 for a model made by Maisto. The #26 GT1 might pop up cheaper in the future.

Is this what you've been looking for?

 

[Venom800tt]

Some pic spam thanks to a photo shoot I did before I went to sleep:

 

[Carlos]

Clark that is a nice collection. I hope mine will be as impressive.

Yours too Venom. Love the LFA and Murcielago.

Wow really?! I got my package today! Took only 2 days.... Wait no longer and contact them, better than knowing nothing..

I'm so in love with that 917 it's crazy. I have a 2 meter wide poster of two 917 long tails on my wall too Next is the 956 I think... But I'm not buying anymore this month.

 

[Bram Turismo]

That 917 is sick! More info pl0x!

 

[phil bell]

Man that hippie 917 is outta this world!
Great pics guys, loving this thread.

By the way, do the wheels on Spark models rotate?
Im thinking of getting a Spark model but something bothers me tremendously about models with non-moving wheels.

The wheels roll, but they do not steer on Spark models.

Thanks Venom, exactly what I wanted to confirm.

 

[Carlos]

It's an AutoArt, Porsche 917 'Long Tail'. This was entered in 1970 by the Martini Racing Team, #3. It has a 4.5l flat 12. Finished second place with Gérard Larrousse (French) and Willi Kauhsen (German) behind the wheel.

Really happy with it!! The 908 is also really really nice. Great details!

 

[AOS-]

I wish I could loan some of your models just so I can go take pictures of them.

 

[Theace37]

Well, My car arrived today!!!!

1:18 1969 MARIO ANDRETTI BRAWNER HAWK by DANBURY MINT.

It was slightly over my budget, but i think it was worth it!

Sorry for crappy cell pics :/

 

[mp10]

Going to make a trip to the Carboot sale tomorrow, hopefully i'll find some die-casts. Also going to place an order with CK models soon
