@ amit - I am trying to identify the black one, which model is it. By the way the 328 looks nice in red, seems to be a RC model. The Z1 and E30 also look great.

well the black one is a 1998 7 series with opening doors & trunk from a german co. All the cars are of the sizes between 1:43,47. I always look for cars which are not common & are of the 1:43/47 scale because the big ones (1:18) always do have details, but you will find only some quite rare smaller ones which are perfectly made. i have a maserati bora, mercedes c11, lotus espirit from the same co. of the 3.0csl, & they are great.

RPMPKDMFF · 2nd March 2008, 01:20

nice ride adder. color is great.

BEEM3R · 2nd March 2008, 02:12

Maybe he got the model on Christmas day and that was his way of enjoying a white christmas here in Bombay

blackadder · 2nd March 2008, 10:05

Thanks all. The scale is 1:18 and it indeed put me on cloud 9 when I got it as a birthday gift last year. Beem3r, the summer in Bombay is frying my brains...so expect some crazy things to happen with me.

very nice indeed..which is that one in the thermocol?

blackadder · 3rd March 2008, 10:04

Congrats to you Beem3r. Thats one very lucky friend to get the Audi A8. The hobby shop owner must be rolling down the red carpet and throwing rose petals on you everytime you enter his shop.
Cyrus, good to see you back man. Where were you all these days?

Hey BEEM3R, nice heist. From where did you manage to pick-up the C1, that is the only generation I don't have with me, the Vette happens to be my favorite car. Happy collecting.

Great lot you got there.

BEEM3R · 3rd March 2008, 13:23

@Cyrus: Thanks Cyrus! Being the beginning of the month so I usually go and splurge on the scale models. The car in the thermocol is the E46 M3 GTR in green by Minichamps.

@Blackadder: I think the friend is delighted at the W12 and cant wait to get it in his hands

And one would think thats the treatment I would get from my hobby shop guys, but I live in Dubai and there are some crazy collectors here who make me look like a one time buyer. But oh well life goes on. Haha but jokes aside they're very good to me and give me good deals and a higher discount than most customers.

@RPMPKDMFF:Thanks a lot dude I get my cars from King of Hobbies. I dont have many vettes. This C1, an AA C6 ZO6, BBurago C5, Maisto C6 as well. I want the C2 and C3 too I think. Im gonna wait on the American muscle for a while. Need to finish the Germans first. Wish you luck with your collecting as well.
