GTPlanet Scale model thread

I have made an offer on this... BBR Ferrari 296 GT3 1:18 scale

I've had my eye on this since it first came out, and a rare opportunity to own it has come up. It's actually based in Maranello, which is kind of crazy in itself, and is one of just 449 pieces. It's right at the top of what I think is a fair price, so I've put in a cheeky bid of 90%, which might take the sting of having to pay VAT on it too.

Good luck. I really wish I'd have gotten the 1/64 Jaguar XJR-9 I bid on last month. I was the only bidder up until the final couple ours (which is why I still think the seller had someone else bid on it so they wouldn't have to sell it for just over what the bids started at).

Got two beautiful models coming in:

The Flying Lizard Porsche is partly out of nostalgia, partly because of the beautiful liveries Flying Lizard is known for. Somewhere down the line I hope to collect all of their art liveries. The Maserati I have been waiting a long time for.

Fingers crossed Spark might do some more Spa 24 hour cars from the GT1 era: Ferrari 550 GT1, Lister Storm, Vipers, etc.

I miss the Flying Lizard Porsches from IMSA and Le Mans. I do have the 1/43 ones Spark released with Flying Lizard packaging years ago myself. Great liveries IMO.

Anyway got a model of a plane I worked on years ago, an Embraer ERJ-145LR:










The same plane, but when I last worked it:



With my other 1/200 diecast Embraer, which I also did maintenance work on:



And pics of the other plane, which is an Embraer E-175:







Also took a few pics of my last two 1/43's posted previously, both by Spark:

Not exactly about models themselves, but I moved to my own place and finally after a couple of decades I can properly display my collection
Still have a bunch of 1:43 to move from old place so the cabinet is gonna get more packed later

My bid was successful, and it arrived in one piece!

BBR Ferrari 296 GT3 #036/449, all the way from Maranello...

Needless to say, that's the budget well and truly blown - and it also makes my car collection pretty much complete. I think I need to ban myself permanently from eBay from now on, but I am very happy indeed with this beautiful piece of automotive artistry. I should also have an acrylic lid from BBR arriving shortly to keep the dust off...
