@Jchue73: Kyosho Ferrari 575 GTC Evoluzione (Red)! Haha!

@Jchue73: I saw it while browsing through Ebay this morning, what a coincidence hey? How much did you pay for yours? Awesome model in my opinion, based on the pictures that I saw on the net Haha

Hi guys, can anyone give me a suggestion? I'm stuck between these two models:

White F430 Spider with black interior, challenge seats and black challenge rims

or

Red F430 Spider with tan interior, challenge seats and silver challenge rims?

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

@Jchue73 & Jasonist: MERCEDES! Gotta love the emblem.

@Jasonist: How much did you pay for your Autoart BMW Z4?

Heads up guys, I saw some of you said that you are looking for Autoart's Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car and I found one on Ebay at a relatively reasonable price compared to the other ridiculously scalped up prices. It has a reserve price, highest bid is currently around USD 200. Who knows one of you guys might get lucky. Here's the link if you guys are interested.

Autoart 1/18 Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car

@Jchue73: I mentioned "relatively" reasonable. Haha. Love your Mercs by the way. Awesome design.

@Jasonist: Same goes for your Mercs

A dose of RedBull to heat things up

Where did all the people go? Hauls anyone? Big hauls, small hauls? Holes in the wallets?

Teaser Pic.

@Jasonist: I appreciate your advice but I normally shoot them at night, which means no natural light source. My room lighting sucks, dim and yellowish so the color of most of my cars being shot under these conditions eventually blend in with the surroundings so there's no substance to the actual detail and color of the car. So the only choice here is to use flash . I don't have a high end camera so I can't bounce the flash and I'm still fiddling with my camera's Iso settings (going nowhere with it seems to be a better description, pictures are blur under Iso and Ev adjustment kinda crappy). Sorry for the picture quality though, I'll try to get my lazy ass out of my chair and out into sunshine when I have the chance. Haha

Since this is post #444 it is therefore my obligation to do a major pic SPAM. Haha

Following the special nature of this post, here's a four-car shoot.

First attempt at making the whole thing look like a real garage. Failed.


Second attempt. Still failed.


Looks a wee bit better.


Top Gear magazine style. Also failed.


Close up shot.


Enjoy

Guys, I saw this 1:43 model from HPI. If it says 1 of 2048 on the box, does this mean it's one of the 2048 models made or number 1 of the 2048 models made?

@Jchue: Nope, I was referring to the Sauber Mercedes C9 Test Car. I bought it, by the way. Photos to come soon.

As promised, the Sauber C9.

First 1/43 model and I must say I'm impressed with the quality and overall paint job of it.

Guess everyone has their rights to sound their opinions but it seems to me that some of them (not pointing fingers) are quite offensive to begin with, no matter what your perception towards the person is, he/she has the right to do what he likes as long as it does not do any damage to you. Again, striking back isn't too wise either...an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind guys. Let it go, after all, this is a passion that all of us here share, where's the joy when one gets criticised for when he tries to share what he feels proud of?

New addition. I'm not quite sure but I think it's Bugatti's concept car before the veyron. Presenting the Bugatti Chiron.

And finally the rims. It's silver, took it under low light condition so it looks yellow

Looks like Mclaren is the model of the month for this forum. I have one too, allow me to contribute some photos of this magnificent machine.









Nice C9 by the way, Jchue73 and of course the Z4 by khsj.

Hi guys, it's been so long since I posted here. A lot has happened but yeah, let's keep this thread alive! All I'm gonna say is that this thread got me started with this hobby and as much as it changes I'm still going to keep posting here. Here are some photos of my collection. Enjoy

@Ikwanz: Sorry, some glitch with photobucket.

@Zacktan: Would you believe me if I were to say it's the real deal? Haha. But yeah, Ikwanz right.

@Grajindo: The Bugatti retails for USD170 if I'm not wrong, I was able to get it cheap from a supplier of mine. But from what I've noticed on Ebay, the price changes for different colour variants once every 3 months or so. Sometimes the pearl while/blue costs more, sometimes the red/black and sometimes the blue/black. Good luck hunting for yours.

@hokuan: 1/64?
