GTPlanet Scale model thread

[Venom800tt]

I first followed Gundam about 30 years ago, didn't stop buying gunpla until I decided to stop in 2005(it was a 1/100 Astray Gold Frame Amatsu) and I haven't bought any of it ever since. So yea, it can be done.

Can't be done if you don't have the desire to do so
Although, of my current hobbies, Gundam probably will be the only one to stop or greatly slow down as I get models of all the units I want.
But anyway if that Alfa is still around for that price after I move, I will get it and the Blackbird 911. Also been thinking of getting the AA Jag D-Type LM winner.

I actually still follow the franchise, I have full Japanese Blu-ray sets of multiple series. But other than that I have stopped collecting it's toys, I kept a few unopened expensive GFFs, that's about it.

So... BBR's site has the 488 for a large sum of money.

Littlebolide has the same BBR for a smaller sum of money.

After creating an account for Littlebolide, the very same BBR is now going for an even lesser amount of money.

Preorder made.

Email Littlebolide for a further 5% discount.

Oh the happiness in the tone of this post.



edit: well ya probably don't care a whole lot, so here's some finished models by IG:

There's still the gundam marker linework, but hey- there's less!

Those tires look gucci.

Nice collection @alstigy. I really like the 1992 Toyota TS010. I desperately want a 1:18 of the TS010 but nobody will make one.

Thanks.

I don't know much about 1/18s just recently got into the 1/43 scene and this TS010 looks great. I won it for only 36 CAD on ebay.

Don't hold your breath. TSM makes a lot of lesser-known cars in racing.

This reminds me, did anyone go to the Canadian auto show happening right now? There's a stand with hundreds of assorted used I think 1/18s for sale going for around 20$, their were some wellys and maistos.

Pfft only Maistos and Wellys....
You had me going for a sec.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Chicago had a ton of JaDa and Miastos with a few randoms like the zonda.

I really want that Huayra... I don't have one yet in my collection. Was is cheap?

Haha I was pretty excited when I saw them from a distance but when I got close they were't autoarts or anything. Still they look nice when they're all set beside each other in rows without boxes.

The Pagani sure is nice but I couldn't find a cheap one on ebay, they go for around 80$ CAD. It just happened to be someone was selling one locally for 50$ CAD so I jumped at it. This one is Metallic Bronze and you can see some of the sparkles when the light shines on it so I think the black with the silver stripes looks better because the paint is solid which makes it look more realistic. The silver paint doesn't look good at all, it's very grainy.

You can still buy decent 1/18 models at CIAS at the BMW and Mercedes booths. Just don't expect any deep discounts though, the Paragons are $110 before HST, Norevs are $100 and $145 for the GT Spirit models.

In my 22 years of experience at CIAS, I have never bought a single model at the show.

I didn't know you could buy them but I did see a really nice 1/18 BMW M1 in orange at the BMW showcase.

How's the quality on the Zonda? Been considering the Pagani's and McLaren's from MotorMax.

My boss invited me to go with him to the New York auto show. Are there any diecast vendors there?

 

[AOS-]

In my 22 years of experience at CIAS, I have never bought a single model at the show.

In my 2 years of experience of going, all I know is that there is entirely too many people there to take any cool photos.

Also wasn't aware of booths selling dealer models, but then again, this was back in '07 and '12.

 

[Moon_k]

the 1st one is a FW19 of J.Villeneuve of 97 from Minichamps 1:18
the 2nd one is a Ebbro 1:43 scale of a Castrol Tom's Toyota Supra JGTC 1995
the 3rd one is a chevrolet Camaro SS 396 1969 from Ertl

So that CLK GTR was by GT Spirit... 1/18.....

Anyone excited?! It looks tight!

Also, bonus picture! I have very colorful models.

The model number says otherwise, KJ002. This is as same as previous Kyosho editions. Amiami will have it for sure.

 

[AOS-]

I guess so. I don't think car lover's big enough to get their own exclusives.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Picked up this awesome 1:14 scale Lotus MK4/79 today.

 

[Castrol96]

Haven't scene any genuine ones of the Bugatti VGT but came across this unlicensed version by the name of cringe-worthy "BUGATL".

It's 1:32 scaled but pretty toyish.

Interested? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/2627...=9045804&device=c&campaignid=738085096&crdt=0

I've seen them on ebay quite often. I considered it, but they seem....quite off. Considering the "Bugatl" on the window. I did buy an LFA from them. Didn't seem too bad, but does somewhat bug me that it had the Nurburgring wing, but no splitter/canards. MR Collections makes a legit VGT. I'm sure it's....not exactly cheap.
