GTPlanet Scale model thread

[twistedspoon]

What forum are you talking about? I'm interested!

There are various boards that I visit. I only collect 1/18s so I only visit ones that are mostly 1/18s.

Another relatively new forum but it's a little larger than Project118 terms of members. Various scales. UK based.

There are other forums such as Diecast.org but I don't go to those they're only into American muscle cars.

 

[twistedspoon]

i have 34 models in total now but as of today 2 more are in the post
both american muscle

a red 1969 boss mustang 302
69 boss mustang 302
and a blue 1969 chevy camaro z28
69 camaro z28

Nice collection bondy_1625. 👍 I like your UT MacF1 long tail. But I've got to say that American cars, bar some race cars, is not my cup of tea.

 

[bondy_1625]

american muscle is my all time fave genre of autos! gotta love em
so from now on i think im gonna be mostly droolin at the old ones
i like some older retro car from other places like the escort rs1600 and alfa gta
but not anything older than the 1950's

Wasnt that Camaro the one from 2fast2furiuous??
I know that's a Yenko, but they look exactly alike

 

[bondy_1625]

no i wouldnt buy anything that had/has appeared in such a film. (sorry i just dont like the film) but i would consider the bullitt gt and gone in 60 gt500

 

[555]

Well then you do realise that there was a blue with white stripped Camaro. & the model was made by ERTL.

Some updates on my own collection in the works.

Lamborghini Murcieliago Roadster
Lamborghini Gallardo
Ferrari F512M
Ferrari F355 Spider
Ferrari 360 Spyder
SpecterWorks Corvette Z06

The Ferrari's are by Hot Wheels and the other 3 cars are by Maisto. I like all of them very much.. and I really wish I can keep adding to my collection with nice cars. For now, I'll have to take a break in buying cars, I don't have room for anymore really, so I'll wait till I get a proper bookshelf for it. I don't have any of my own pictures because the way I have them arranged right now really sucks for taking pictures with my digital camera, I can't really get them in a proper detailed photo for now unfortunately.

Here's my updated list of cars, and the ones I'm looking forward to sometime in the future.

1/18 (Bburago, Hot Wheels, Maisto, Shell (F50 only))
Bugatti EB110 SS
Chevrolet Corvette Cabriolet (C1)
Dodge Viper RT/10
Ferrari 360 Spyder
Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari F355 Spider
Ferrari F512M
Ferrari F50
Ford Mustang GT '99
Jaguar S-Type
Lamborghini Diablo VT
Lamborghini Murcielago
Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster
Lamborghini Gallardo
Mercedes-Benz 300SL Cabriolet
Porsche 996 Targa
Specterworks Corvette Z06 (C5)

1/24 (Bburago)
Chevrolet Corvette C5 Coupe
Chevrolet Corvette C5 Cabriolet
Ferrari F40
Lamborghini Countach
Lamborghini Gallardo
Porsche 996 Carrera '97
Range Rover 4.6
Williams FW14 #5 (Nigel Mansell '91)


Future possible acquisitions (hopefully ).
Chevrolet Corvette C6 Coupe
Chevrolet Corvette C6 Cabriolet
Dodge Viper GTS (blue w/ stripes)
Dodge Viper SRT-10
Ferrari F40
Ferrari F50 Roadster
Lamborghini Diablo GTR
McLaren F1 road car
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
.. and whatever else I find

All of these would be Maisto/Hot Wheels 1/18. I wish I could find some Bburago 1/18, but no luck so far.. , and I'm only 17 right now, I don't really have much money at all, my dad is paying for all of these cars, so I can't afford cars like AUTOart and I can't afford buying online (for now at least). After I'm done with buying what I can still find around at Wal-Mart, Toys 'R Us and Costco (prolly in like 8 months from now), then I'll go shopping online.. maybe.

 

[RACECAR]

some neat cars, especially the specterworks Corvette. 👍

 

[MustangSVT]

Apparently it's spelled Specter Werkes. Anyway, looks like they're some kind of tuner, similar to Boss for Mustang's or something like that. Their other real car I found on the website seems nice too.

Specter Werkes Corvette GTR

They have like packages to add to your own Corvette C5, so it's pretty nice.

"Turn the key on the GTR and the open road is yours. The GTR personifies Specter Werkes' three point philosophy of design, passion and performance"

Very nice sites, now I have the desire to buy more cars!
I've found stuff I forgot about and now I want them again, but of course they're 5+ years old and go for some $$$$

 

[VIPFREAK]

it's great games don't work that way though... all the games I've gotten were so old they were dirt cheap.

yea but they also suck
I cant play old games when newer ones are so much better. Except for PunchOut.

What are some of the 1/18s you're looking for?

 

[BlackZ28]

Oh heh, just a 1978 Corvette 25th Anniversary by UT models. Released in 2000.
Do you have any you're on the lookout for?

 

[bondy_1625]

[bondy_1625]

[shaunsund]

All replies will be greatly appreciated

 

[BlackZ28]

ahem!
http://www.diecaststation.com/product.asp?id=14816

This is actually the one I was wanting, its a the silver anniversary paint job, light silver on top, dark silver on bottom. Thanks for looking though!
http://www.scale18.com/cgi-bin/pic/x/ut21081

I have that one.. well by Auto Art... its awesome, has more details and everything. For some reason the UT version is more expensive. Ive even seen the pace car go for $240. I feel lucky to own one.
Here is a pic of my AA version..

Yes, a must have! The 1982 Collectors Edition of also one of my favs, I bought it last year, love it! AA does great work for a great price.

[Sting]

Right so we can now add that 25th Anniversary AA Corvette to the list of MUST HAVE DIECASTS!!!! I'm going to be so poor.
