GTPlanet Scale model thread

[Antonisbob]

So yea, this is done. It's a '65 Chevy wagon kit, I took it and turned it into a model demo car. My resin tires I ordered online finally came in the mail so I could finish it.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Is that Skoda an Octavia or a Fabia?

Octavia.

I've tracked down a Holden Concpet Coupe in a rare colour in Portugal.

There is a huge problem... It doesn't ship to any country other than Portugal. And it's cheap, in fact a steal!

Is Sun Star a big brand for this kind of thing like Kyosho?

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

That's not rare

 

[AlvaroF]

That's not rare

Only one in the country at least...

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

I doubt that unless youve asked everyone in the country if they have one?

I've got those.... I have to say the 787B is by far the coolest. But the X1, is well the X1.


Between those two its hard to pick

The Mazda has a lot more in it doesn't it?

Booklet, helmet (I think), and other stuff?

Yes.. its a lot more detailed as well than the others

Thanks for the info. The Mazda seems the best one to get from looking at it, so I'm swayed towards it

Yeah if you want a GT5 car then go with that.

Ive got all of those. My pick would be the Mazda. While the X2010 is good there isnt as much detail in it as there is in the Mazda.

Yeah agreed... but for $45 more Exotos summer clearance is offering the Nissan R89C and Jaguar XJR-9

 

[TorqueHappenS08]

Anybody got a Kyosho 1:18 supra?

If I didn't have a Bugatti Veyron on layby and the Valiant Charger Police car on order as well as the 3 Kyosho Vipers I just got on ebay those would be tempting.

The builder said its the most frustrating model he's ever worked of as the resin reacted at several points during the build.

 

[Carlos]

Very cool Skoda!

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Wow this is just epic, more so is that vast wall of die-cast/model cars.

The model shop had it on the shelf but after reading some reviews on the minichamps Veyron, i'm going to try and swap the layby over to a preorder for the Auto Art Veyron.
