Early christmas present ya for all of you...still havent "sai-lang" my latest haul recently...the 2 12C and Ferrari FF BBR. No time to take photo.

the white one-77 real nice....i just thinking..the size of this One-77 is slightly smaller than a decent 1:18 model or is it just me? likewise if i place side by side with my Aventador...the Aventador looks huge!

Surely not ebay prices. What is a fair price...  sad.gif Very relative term there.

Yes, the Frost White is pricey as it's scarce. Was lucky enough to find one for the price of the current new batch of One-77.
Tempting.  drool.gif
Thanks. Frost White for Frosty the Snowman.  biggrin.gif
Should have put a price. I didn't because you guys are too smart.  laugh.gif

Anyway, if you're interested in the One-77, I think you need to be fast. I believe the Frost White very very difficult to find. The other colours are easier though (for the moment).

BTW, keep up with the good work on the pics. Good to see that you're really pushing the boundries of creativity and what can be done on a PnS. Like they say, it's not the equipment but the person behind the camera that matters.
Did not get any 1/12. Still thinking about 1/18. 1/24 would be the BBR Mercedes CLKs.

1/43 would be either these two...

1/87 would be these...

The Aventador is very slightly longer only.

user posted image
Yes, slightly longer. The Aventador is 4780mm. The One-77 is 4601mm. Looks like Tecnomodel is a little off with their One-77 model.  shakehead.gif
Worth it or not? Cannot really say. Depends if the subject matter is important to you.

But in terms of packaging, the Tecnomodel one has style. Really suites Aston Martin's image. Oh, I just found out that the box cover is magnetic. The top cover snaps close just like a fridge door. Cool.

In terms of body width...the One-77 seems smaller that is why it looks slightly small.

By the way, I finally got chance to sneak at my both MP4-12C.....really dont have time to snap photo. Indeed.....although the packing is decent,comes with a think plastic carbon fibre effect, which looks cheap, but the car is FANTASTCI!!! it has BBR and MR quality! For this price....its worth better than BBR and MR. Comparison made...the COPPER is indeed looks more better than the ORANGE as Copper looks metallic!

I was very excited when I received my Volcano Red MP4-12C in the mail yesterday. Took it out just now and my breath was taken away by the paint work. Bravo.

The box is not too bad and nicely made and packed.

Then to my horror, I saw the left rear wheel a little kemek !  shocking.gif

user posted image

Upon further inspection, the right rear wheel was also a little dented. Not as bad as the left rear wheel though.

When I looked at the bottom plate, the corner looked very rough and I thought it looked like it was badly burnt.

I guess this one has to go back.  sad.gif My bubble really burst this morning. One of the models I was really looking forward to receiving.

p/s: Sorry for the not so good pics. Was testing camera.  biggrin.gif

same goes to my copper after i see it. i will send back too.

I also sent a complain feedback to Frontiart of their problem. I suspect they screwed the model to the display base way too low until the wheels touched the base. As times goes by the pressure created by the tight screwed between the model with the base, the wheels unable to sustain such pressure and hence it deformed! Even they did put a small rubber rings on the screwed still no use. They should use bigger ring instead to stop the car being screwed down till the wheels touches the display base. Good example is Minichamps and Hotwheels display base.

No..it happens on the Orange too. Have you ever unscrew it out and try to roll on the surface? my orange although by visual, looks ok..but when you roll...u can feel its not rolling smooth as if there's a flat spot on the wheel. Its ok for me unless...now i have insert a small piece of foam insert below the model so that when i screwed it to the display base...i would not over screwed it..make sure the wheels dont touched the base. The model is quite light but quality is still good....the windscreen is so thin just like MR and BBR. I have highlighted this to Frontiart, and they seems to be responsive.

jchue31: I still maintain a high rating for Frontiart despite those defects. Think of it, they are inexperience and still can make this model something line 80% and above closer to those MR and BBR. Just contacted my seller that the replacement is on the way. According to my seller, indeed there are quite numbers of replacement and some even have defect paint works. But still its a gamble to buy this model...only is you had to ask your seller to inspect properly before they ship to you but how good your seller inspect the things is another questions.

I was quite surprise that the wheels can rotate, that is why I can really see if the wheels is in perfect round shape conditions by rolling it.
