GTPlanet Scale model thread

Ian from Pro-Modelling has posted up some pics of my HMS Hood

True, but completely irrelevant fact: my great grandfather's cousin was one of the handful of survivors from the HMS Hood.

Truck is non-licenced, looking like a cross between a Mack and a Kenworth.

Two quick pictures of something I picked up at a car show today, an Autoart 1/18 2004 Mustang Mach 1.

About 90cm with the seascape

That Mach 1 looks good.

 

[phil bell]

Actually looks better than the real thing somehow.

Looking forward to see the end result.

Thinking about getting a 1/18th Shelby Collectibles Gt 40 in gulf racing colors.

Over on DiecastXchange forum they are Blacklisted. They may have very competitive prices but... enough said.

I've never had any bad experience with them yet *crossed fingers*. So far I've ordered from them about four times and every time the order was shipped out the very same or next day after payment cleared. Models always came in well packaged. I'm just speaking from personal experience.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I use Collectible Diecast for my cars.

New 1/43...
Spark 1986 Porsche 961 Presentation version:

 

[phil bell]

Sharp looking model, Im one of those that didnt know there was a racing version of the 959 until recently.

And speaking of spark models, I found the one and only Spark retailer in the country, looking to get a Rebellion Lola from them.
Once I have this I'll wait till I can afford the 2012 Rebellion car. Hope it works out.

Delivery this morning from Australia and never got stung by import tax!

The last one for me is quite a meaningful one.

Jason Richard's 2011 VE Commdore from the 2011 AGP race

For those that don't know Jason passed away in December 2011 due to cancer,in this race he was saying he could only steer one way properly as when he went the other way it pushed against his tumor which caused him alot of pain. This race was a non-championship race but there was a prize fund and the winner donated the winnings to him so he could go to America for treatment.

Even less than 2 months before he died he was still racing around the mountain.


RIP Jason

 

[Bram Turismo]

Is it me or does that M3 have way too much clearing in the front suspension?

 

[Encyclopedia]

Sweet models. Holden! 👍

 

[photonrider]

Holden. Have Mercy. Awesome collection gets awesomer.

1:32 '08 Dodge Viper SRT10 by Jada.

These are very cheap models and are ideal for customising:

There's a few other things in the works and on its way

My first 1/18 racecar finally arrived (sorry for bad pics):
DAT camber

 

[Encyclopedia]

Nice. What make is it?

 

[motortrend]

Thanks, it's a tamiya, I believe they are no longer in production, but I don't know when it was made since it was sent without the box

The best thing was they donated proceeds from this model to J.R's family. Great model and a fitting tribute to the man himself.

That is so awesome, and I want one, as like you. It would be quite a meaningful one, as Jason and Murphy have always been my favourite drivers in the series (hence why Bathurst in 2008 was one I enjoyed very much), and Jason was always so positive, and a really nice guy.

 

[Venom800tt]

Since I already have all my other 1/43 cars themed up, I kinda was stuck with my 961. So....

Random lol

*EDIT*
Another pic...

Because like yourself i get the tax taking off as im buying outside australia and did as for that to be donated to his family.

I've also been talking to both Jason Bright and Andrew Jones from BJR lately and they are sorting out some Jason Richards stickers for me as i could put them on the race cars for the team i work for. I also mentioned it to a few of the other drivers in the championship and they are also wanting to display stickers both in memory of Jason and to also friends and family members in Motorsport we have lost due to cancer aswell.

Also tempted to get John Bowe's tshirt

Wonderful to see such international support for J.R. Im sure BJR/Bright would have no problem sending over a few.👍
The shirt is well done I must say.

Wow, where'd you get cases like that? Would be really awesome for compiling a collection. I can totally envision sticking a Porsche 917, 956 and 911 GT1 in...

Got them from a local hobby shop. Dunno if you can find them outside of the US. The cases were made by Pioneer Plastics and were meant for 1/64 scale semi trucks, but happen to work perfect for 3-5 1/43 scale cars. Some day I may get a wall mounted display case though, as that would be a bit easier to display.

Spark released a 1:18 scale version of the 2011 Flying Lizards Porsches from Lemans!
