[F1GTR]

He took a Motormax Zonda and customised it.

 

[Alex.]

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

but then theres all the different colours

oh and about thr slr, the cmc one slides forward then flips up,on the cheap one it just flips up

Anyway, while you're here, (EDIT: not you CCX, Holden) are there any good model shops in central Scotland that you know of? I like to browe and have a look. I know the one in the Olympia in EK. There's one I've spotted in Bothwell in passing, but never been in it. Have you?

the one in bothwell only does RC stuff.
theres jamersons in glasgow which is down the road from A1 comics in glasgows,they do mainly like plane kits and boats but they do have quite alot of diecasts but they are mainly the cheap ones,but they do have a few minichamps and autoart stuff(including a model of a 406 coupe if your intrested ),then theres bell street models(come out the door of jamersons and walk straight up past the cross still you get to the bedstore and its down the road from there),was in there today,again they have a few autoarts,but they mainly do train sets and buses at the moment,although the people that run the store are very nice and friendly and if your buying a couple of things and if you ask for a discount,they usually will knock a couple of £ off,then round the corner theres a huge discount store which has a fair number of models,mainly autoarts again.the last one that i know of is up in the savoy centre,you go up the stairs and its the first one stall on the left,he usually has really nice models and very good prices.
hope that helps

 

[daan]

Thanks for that. I'll go on a hunt.

(including a model of a 406 coupe if your intrested ),

Got one exactly the same as my 1:1

 

[Alex.]

very nice daan-what scale?

 

[McLaren]

That CLK GTR is gorgeous. I have a racing one. I really should pick up the one Sharper Image always has, but that particularly store is about 30 miles out from me.

The $30-$40 seems worth it though.

1:18. Its made by Welly.

 

[Alex.]

are they any good?

 

[daan]

I would say they're probably on a par with Bburago.

 

[Alex.]

about average then? or is that minichamps range?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

about average then? or is that minichamps range?

same as your maistos

 

[Alex.]

i av buragos aswell you know

 

[Alex.]

i av buragos aswell you know

im 14 and cant really rack up £210 to blow on a c9 or somthin. that why i have buragos and maisto's

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

i didnt blow £210 on c9's lol and i was compareing the qulity of the models,minichamps would be classed above bburago's and maisto

 

[F1GTR]

Blowing £210 on a C9 is not worth it.
