GTPlanet Scale model thread

Now I am pretty much just taking pics to use in the Diecast Database program I use lol...















Eventually, though I have no idea when, I'd like to get all my models taken in this format to use in said program.

A software that specifically tailors to model cars? There is such a thing?

I bought a gunpla magazine from Japan about a decade ago, the package itself was worth 900 yen and these mo*******kers from CBSA charged me 10 CAD for it.

900 yen.

That was the final time I imported a Japanese magazine.

Buying from real stores often times resilt in customs. Buying from eBay often garners duty free packages because our lovely senders declare things as gift.

Yeah, one of the guys on DiecastXchange made it. There is a stickied topic about it too

Hot damn. There's a custom AMG being released by GT Spirit:

Edit: Hotter damn. Top Speed is doing the Fiata.

 

[Venom800tt]

That AMG GT is kinda hot, though I don't think I'm gonna pre-order it.
Also...

Missing a good amount of other supercars/high end sports cars that remain in storage. So expect a redo of this pic in a few months...

*EDIT*
Was looking through my group pics and found this throwback supercar group shot:

I think this will get enough impulse buyers pulling out their wallets, only to sell it off later. I'd say wait for a 2nd-hand opportunity.

Financial strategies 101.

Rehashed news: NEW brand in town: INNO 1/18

Resin models

Company formed from a group of scale model collectors.

Clear-coated decals.

Photo-etched parts.

Target price $179 USD.

Check out those wheels. Looks really nice. Shame it's a gotdamn Accord.






Edit: Top Marques dropping some other thangs:

And here's TopSpeed:

 

[Venom800tt]

I am totally down for that Top Marques Mosler and XJ220. Although, the wing on the XJ220 looks a bit too tall...

 

[MSZ]

Its worth mentioning that they said there will be a full opening version of the XJ on their Facebook page.

 

[Venom800tt]

Yeah, I heard. Also, barring the wing, this is shaped FAR better than the old oddly proportioned Maisto that has been the only option for a 1/18 XJ220 for the last 20 years lol...

 

[SPhilli911]

Nice! I like that Jag. The 1/18 Maisto XJ220 was my very first model car. It's long gone now, I probably lit it on fire as a kid.

Always wondered if Spark uses clear coated decals...I believe the answer is yes...


p.s. the Jag looks SICK!

 

[Venom800tt]

lol, but that Accord isn't from Spark. Spark doesn't clear coat their decals, seeing as non of mine are clear coated. HPI used to clear coat theirs back when they made scale models though.

 

[Vitocorp]

I knew it was not from Spark, but since I've read about this post I was wondering if my Spark models are coated too...too bad it's not true but at least the decals look quite solid

Took some pics of my AA 918 this weekend:

 

[Venom800tt]

I am pretty sure I will end up with the blue AA 918 in the coming weeks/month. I'd like to detail up that engine though. Looks like it wouldn't be difficult to make look nice, seeing as most of it is hidden on the real car anyway.

Personally that engine bay will be sealed forever, that's one ugly engine. LOL

 

[MSZ]

I didn't see this coming at all.

Otto's Nismo R34 Clubman Race Spec:

[AOS-]

It'd be interesting to see how this will impact the prices of Autoart and Ignition/HPI R34s.

 

[Venom800tt]

Not sure if I will pre-order that Otto R34, the front seems a bit off to me. That and I have the AA Z-Tune GT already. I did end up pre-ordering the GT Spirit CLK-GTR and Viper RT/10 though...
Also, a ton of random pics:





















*EDIT*
Bonus pic:

Wah- It's been so long since I had that bike figure.

 

[Venom800tt]

lol, I have kinda strayed a little far out of my bubble when it comes to figures, as I pretty much only got Tales of series figures. Though, I am still going to keep limits on figure collecting. Limiting it to only characters I like the most, lol...

Also a few more pics:

 

[AOS-]

BTW, thanks to whomever for not posting the RS200 Otto is releasing:

 

[Venom800tt]

lol, I think I will go ahead and pre-order the RS200. I hope Otto someday does an RS200 Evo road car, the world needs more RS200.
Also...

I hope Otto someday does an RS200 Evo road car.

I share the same notion, but I kind of want to see a different brand do it.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I have just ordered my Spark 1:18 Toyota TS050 #6 2016. It will be with me in time for 24h du Mans too which is great.

 

[Venom800tt]

Finally got around to taking a few pics of some of my models which lacked more than one or two pics. Might take more pics over the coming days/week lol...

AUTOart BAC Mono:


Soul Models Ariel Atom V8 500:

This italian seller has a nice Jag Exoto...the model has been in my whishlist for a long time...listed for 250€ or best offer.
Looks like it has a damaged suspension, the windscreen wiper is not the original one and as you can see from the photos it has some paint chipping on the door junctions...should I make an offer?

 

[Bram Turismo]

250 euros for a damaged model?

Dude, ask yourself that question twice, you already know the answer

eeehm I guess you're right, despite the fact the price looks tempting compared to other #2 XJR9s it's still 250€ for a damaged model and that's a lot
