lol depends on bondy's prices. HEY ASH! Maybe this is a good time for you to start collecting. lol
 
well heres basicly everything :laugh: i have to admit i do have well over 600(at last count about 7 years ago) hotwheels and matchbox cars and i couldnt find my rc powerboat :sad:






the plane does have a single piston engine and i have a video of it flying somewhere and i love the hks altrezza,spent a year and a half looking for that!!
 
i've seen a gallardo spider in white on a site, £17.50- im gonna go for it when it becomes in stock
 
im gonna go over to hobby craft today, have a look at what they've got in store, hopefully somthing i can buy"!
 
Just a few minutes ago, while looking again through my collection, I realized they were all misplaced. I instantly went to my mom and asked if she had touched them and she said she had dusted them the day before when I wasn't home. I instantly knew something was wrong. :ill:

I sorted through the model, re-placing them together properly. Unfortunately, I found she broke 2 of my models, very minor damage, but it still breaks my heart... On my AA C5R, she broke the antenna, it's completely missing, and on my Minichamps M3 GTR, one of the hood rings is missing. I know they're very minor, but it just breaks my heart now looking and knowing something is wrong. :indiff: :nervous: :ouch:

Now I know. From now on I will make it clear that no one except me is allowed to touch the models. :grumpy:
 
Ouch. If you can invest in a cabinet and have the space, do so - it's dust free, and keeps the models out of harms' way.

A sign on your door should do the trick too. "DO NOT - THAT'S NOT - UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EVEN IF THEY ARE A BIT DUSTY, TOUCH THE MODEL CARS. EVER. By order." Try it. It might work ;)

Fortunatly for me, my mum knows better than to venture into my bedroom, never mind go poking the cars.
 
On further investigation, she also broke one of the 3 antennas on my Bentley Speed 8, and the wiper on the C5R and Speed 8 doesn't sit in place anymore. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :irked: :irked: :irked: :irked: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :nervous: :indiff: :indiff: :indiff: :indiff: 👎 👎 👎

I'm literally crying. :( :( :(

lol- ill try that on my door, coz i sense my mum will probably disintigrate them all accidently soon whilst cleaning!
 
Ouch, sorry to hear about your lose there MustangSVT. The worst part is, she probably vacuumed at the same time, which means they're stuck in the hoover somewhere. I feel your pain though, as I came home one day to find one of my older models missing its spoiler. My mom said nothing happened, till one day I found it behind the couch in the corner, which is across the room. After freaking out, asking her how it magically got there, it turned out one of her friends kids were playing with them and broke it off, hiding it under the couch so they wouldn't get in trouble. :mad:

That was the last time anyone has ever touched any of my model cars.
 
all you need is a model cabinet,lock,land mines,plastic explosives with trip wires,motion sensors,snipers etc etc then you should have no problems :D

on another note i just paid £8 for a matchbox car :nervous: :scared:
 
I will NOT be buying anymore models until I get a proper display with glass window and a little lock to make sure no one but me can open it. I fully blame myself for not doing this before. After crying to my mom for a few hours, I finally got her to promise to never ever under any circumstance touch the cars (or even come close to them now I think). It just breaks my heart to know something is wrong with 3 of my most prized models. :indiff:

I will be repairing them with my dad, the antenna on the C5R and Speed 8 should be doable. Not sure about the hood ring on M3 GTR, probably not re-pairable.

And I was considering getting a CMR SLR or Sauber C9 sometime in the future. Well not anymore. No more models until proper display with glass window and little lock to prevent anyone from touching.

I know I sound a little too obsessive with my models. I admit to being that way. However, I'm a bit more than a regular model collector. We're all unique in our own way. For me, I don't collect that many models as others, but they all mean something special to me i.e. the C5R I got for my birthday and it holds a special place in my heart, can't really replace that.
 
I don't think most people realize the value of these models. They are not toys, and have very delicate parts. I don't let a duster ever come near my models. I just use a slightly damp paper towel to dust.

I use a q-tip and small portions of windex and a small paper towel.

As for the CMC SLR advice, a local store here keeps stock of at least two or so most of the time and their price is pretty reasonable. I'm sure I can find one in the colour I want when I do get around to getting one. In fact, last time I went there, there were 5 of them.
 
cool well i would suggest when you go have a look take it out the box before you buy it,make sure the wingmirrors are their first of all(on my first one they were broken) then check the struts on the doors(on my second one,the right one was loose and a few others have had this problem) and also check that all the exhaust tips are their(another problem with this model) other than that this is a stunning model,i was honestly speachless the first time i seen it as i opened up the clamshell :D
