Love the blue Stratos.

Here's my latest. Renault sent me it after I reviewed the car in Ibiza. 1:12 scale:

Venom, I am SO freaking jealous. That is an awesome collection.
Only thing is the green XJ220 with a massive wing, is that based off of a real car?

Haha, thanks. Yeah, that XJ220 is based off of a real car. It is an XJ220S TWR, the homoligation special for the XJ220C LeMans racer. IIRC 5 were built. I know of the 5, there is a green one, yellow one, black one, and silver one. Don't know what color the last one is lol...

Oh, and forgot to put this pic with my last post:

Ah, the real life one gives a better impression. It's actually really nice.

Well, that is a kinda bad pic of the car. It, like the rest of the cars in those display cases are 1/43 scale. I posted some better pics of it a couple pages back ;)
And here is another random pic:

Probably gonna take a few more random pics before I get some sleep in a while. Got work tonight -__-
 
What scale are those in?
And how much was the 250?

The two Mopars and the two Ferraris are 1/18 scale, which is what most of my collection is. The Ferrari 250 GTO is a Kyosho model which I paid around $100 nearly 4 years ago. Regular release was red or black, along with several race versions. Race versions can still be found, while the road one is only available in a "premium" version with more details than my original release and a much higher price of around $200 USD. Price increase is mainly due to Mattel (Hot Wheels) having exclusive rights for 1/18 Ferraris within a certain price range.
 
Ah ok.
They both look awesome.
The only premium car that I have is an AE86 (1/18), and a slightly lesser quality 2006 Bobby Labonte NASCAR.
Then some cheapy 1/24 cars.
 
Thanks :)
And my last couple pics for now, might take more pics tomorrow after work...

Venom you never ever dissapoint, but these two are very awesome. Looks like a Dodge Challenger the other one looks like a Road Runner, not sure if I'm right or wrong. I'm pretty sure I'm right, I know my cars quite well but you'll be the one to know for sure.

Also who is the maker of those?
 
Your definitely right with the Challenger.

Well thank you good sir, I love dodge/plymouth but not as much as I love Chevy!

I'm pretty sure the red one is a RoadRunner, if not then it is a GTX. Which is basically the same thing.

Even though the GTX is somewhat similar. But the RoadRunner is still the best one. Can't go wrong with a RR R/T 426ci. :D:tup:
 
I remember when I found a GTX here in the city. It was a 70 needed much work, but the guy wanted 5k. I was just a bit younger and couldn't afford that.
 
Just keep you eyes out for another GTX. Look at some of the sales of a GTX that people post online and don't give up if you can't find one, just keep browsing.

I can't wait to find a '69-70 RoadRunner RT, Charger RT 440 '69-70 and/or a Supra Mkiv myself. Now those are some great cars.
 
Well we're getting a bit off topic but I do have an old RoadRunner model car kit that we got back at a hobby lobby years ago. I think late 90s. I'll have to take a picture of it and post it up.
 
Challenger was made by Highway 61 while the GTX was made by GMP. Might get some more pics of both after I get off work.
 
Should take pics of my Dale Jr. and Dale Earnhardt collection as well.

That GTO is so byoootipull :dopey:

Sorry to get off topic and removing Venom's spotlight, but what are some cheap 1/24 model kits? I just got my 1/24 Miata N6BC since it was a fairly cheap price and going expensive on the kits wont be worth it.
 
Contemplating whether to pick up this 1:43 scale Corvette C4 Grand Sport I found at the local flea market... Along with a smaller-ish scale Jaguar XK120.
 
Who makes the best 1:18 models? I was thinking AUTOart, though I'm not sure.
 
Finally got a GT-R scale model I can touch! Two actually, but unfortunately being in an open display. There's dust, grease and some scratches... :yuck: Bought from the RiteAid in another town... These are by Kintoy, so yes I'm being cheap. :lol:
R35 GT-R! 1:24 scale The spoiler popped off while I was waiting at the cash register. :scared: Also a few scratches on the roof...

The cashier lady kind of laughed at me when I walked up holding those three in my hand... :ouch: May go back someday to buy the 1:24 BMW M3 E92 and AM DB9. The thing that kind of worries me is that these may be the same EXACT models that have been there when I visited the place a year ago... :nervous:
 
While at a car show today I picked up a 1/43 Nissan R91CP made by Ebbro for $40. I also got a 1/43 Porsche 959 but I forgot who makes it. The 959 was $30.
 
Nice! I need to grow my 1/43 collection. Wish there was more car shows here in AZ to flyer rare models like when Barrett-Jackson, and Russo-Steele come.
 
You would've loved the show I was at yesterday. The one vendor had two walls of shelves with just 1/18s and most of them were LMPs or other race cars. I couldn't decide what to get. The other row had a 1/18 Datsun 510 race car and a case with two Toyota LMPs which were signed by the drivers. Really expensive though.

We're the other 1:18s cheap? Because whenever I try to buy them, their way too expensive. The Ono 1:18s I have are a Minichamps "Spirit of America" Porsche 956, and a Norev Peugeot 905 1993 Le Mans winner. Both $80.
