GTPlanet Scale model thread

[Boogie_Master]

We have a 1/64 Model Collectors Thread, but don't worry about the "Model" part - anything 1/64 or thereabouts is fine.

I'll move over there. Thank you for the jnfo

@CMGMS Clearly sensing my disappointment from the other day, my lovely sister showed up this morning with this...

 

[SPhilli911]

Thought this was a neat shot of the AutoArt 997 GT3 RS 3.8 and 4.0. I won't admit how difficult it was to do, though.

Couple of bargain additions for me today. Firstly the Ferrari SF23, 1/43 scale. £4 on eBay:

Secondly, and a tip to anyone in the UK, 1/24 scale Aston Martin F1, unsure specifically which version, but these are being cleared out at Argos for £5.

 

[SPhilli911]

Taking a short break from Porsche 911 collecting to focus on my rally collection with the purchase of more 1/43 models and took some pics of my 1/12 Subaru S9 WRC from OTTO.

1/12 next to 1/43. The Subaru is huge!

New arrival, which I have already taken apart to paint the hatch black lol...

Sunstar Whelart 1/18 Savanna RX-7

 

[SPhilli911]

Working to get all 911 GT3s in 1/18 scale with opening parts (aka not sealed), so I've been taking pics of some. White is not an intentional theme, just happens that these all are.

I recently finished up getting all of the available Porsche 992 generation models from Norev. There are no duplicate models here, they are all different cars. As a collector of one make it's awesome to see this kind of thing.

Reading like a book we have:

992.1 GT3 - Mint Green
992.1 GT3 RS - Malachite Green Metallic
992.1 GT3 RS Weissach - Viola Metallic
992.2 Carrera GTS - Guards Red
992 Dakar - Oak Green
992.2 GT3 Weissach Edition - Guards Red
992.2 Targa 4 GTS - Bahama Yellow
992.2 Carrera - Polar Silver
992.2 GT3 Touring - Gentian Blue
992.2 Cabriolet - Yachting Blue Metallic
992.2 Cabriolet GTS - Slate Grey Neo

I've been thinking about starting a model collection. I was wondering what display or bookcase do you guys use? I was thinking of getting an Ikea Milsbo or something like it? I'd prefer something with glass so I don't have to dust it often and white so it doesn't look so dark and dreary

I wish I could help better, but even though I do collect and have for many years I have not yet displayed my collection.

The Milsbo shelves look pretty good but perhaps a little expensive (in my opinion) and the 11lb max shelf load would make me nervous.

I have heard good things about IKEA's Billy bookcases, which are available in loads of different colors and sizes with optional glass doors. I believe shelves can be added to them as well. And since the shelves aren't glass they have a higher max load for more models.

1/43

 

[CTznOfTime]

Costco very early arrival this year, but price jumped to $19.99 now, $3 more from the usual, well it was $17.99 last year

Had one of these, but I was allowed to get one only, so I had to skip:

Skip this one too:

Got this one instead:

 

[SPhilli911]

Seeing a wall of Maisto like that really brings me back. I got a pretty nice collection as a kid thanks to Sam's Club/Costco visits.

What happened to the collection?

 

[SPhilli911]

What happened to the collection?

They didn't survive my childhood in the 90s/early 2000s.
Most were played with, banged up or have been donated away but I found a box recently with some still left just flopping around.

That poor F50 being crushed by a Pontiac Opel

Yeah, I feel bad about it
That F50 was my second ever model.

 

[RCKakashi14]

It's really really pretty, and I got it for a bargain.

Still looking for the Kimi Raikkonen variant, though.

Paired with its 1:64 counterpart. At least that is the one driven by Kimi.

This has been a slow year for me lol, this is only my 2nd new arrival...

I have been buying BBR Ferraris exclusively in the past couple of years. Still considering the 488 Pista right now.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Easily my favorite bang-for-your-buck 1:43 scale model that can be easily mistaken as made by a super premium brand.

I have a BBR 488 Pista myself, got it like 6 years ago lol



I only have 3 1/18 BBR's, the Pista, a diecast F12TDF, and a diecast 512BB LM. Part of me kinda wants to pre-order an F80, but I dunno...

Man you know I'm talking about the upcoming full open Pista.

I have a 499P, F40(Kyosho with BBR case), FXXK, FXXK Evo diecast, LaFerrari diecast, and I have the F80 diecast on preorder.

Needless to say these high end Ferrari models are highly addictive.
