BANNED | ![]() went to sapphire myself just to look they have some nice bburago and maisto models in 1;18 and some 1:27 no 1:43. No scorpio and No Bolero some nice little matchbox "working models" tipper trucks, concrete RMC trucks etc. no other vehicles which I personally felt the desire for in terms of adding to my collection. I prefer Auto Art - they are expensive yes but their detailing is addictive and once you get hooked it is tough to compromise after wards. |

BANNED | ![]() harrods too - but a bit pricey. consider also the actual car showrooms, they keep scale models. the paul smith showroom in covent garden too - theyve got a baby Mini Cooper with the Brit flag on it. Saw it there some time ago but didnt buy. But I later went and bought one of those in their India showroom - very nice looking car. |

| ![]() The 1938 Mercedes 770 known as 'Großer' Mercedes (large Mercedes) would have been the most expensive German automobile at that time. Known to have been the parade limousine for Adolf Hitler and other Nazi commanders. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Ok, finally managed some time to post the rest of the collection. 1. 1996 Ferrari 550 Maranello No collection is complete without atleast one Ferrari, is it ![]() The model in question is another Bburago. Details to notice are the beautiful V12 engine, and the space saver spare in the boot. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 2. 1992 Toyota Landcruiser This one's a Yat Ming. My mom liked the fact that her son was collecting 1:18 scale models, and she gifted him one everytime her work took her abroad. Unfortunately, the word "Mercedes" never really registered to her, and she brought back a random model everytime ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

BANNED | ![]() i no longer go to the one on Brigade road - parking etc. the one on richmond road is much bigger but frankly any day I prefer going to ModelArt - I vastly prefer Auto Art 1:43 Scale models - their detailing and quality is TOPS - well worth the expense. but of late - last 7-8 months I ve not seen many new ones in their collection that I want to own. \ Or else what theyve had in the shop, when I visited, I ve already got with me in my collection. |
