The Scale Model Thread

Cyrus43 · 23rd March 2010, 00:18

The only reason I dont buy this is as the Back Doors Do not open. If they did, I would buy it in a second.

Laid my hands on a super haul this weekend... i was at Pune & ended up grabbing the following:

In 1:18 =
Porsche 356 Cabriolet
Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster
Porsche Cayenne Turbo
Alfa 8C Competizione

In 1:24 =
Ford GT
Pagani Zonda C12
2007 Subaru Impreza

Will try to upload the pictures ASAP...

A friend of mine took this snap... The Hummer H2... Awesome capturing of details... & yes folks, thats a 1:18 scale model... it took her 4 hours to set it all up & get that perfect shot

WHERE IN PUNE!! I have been looking for the Alfa since AGES! And the Cayenne and 356 too!!

Got the Alfa from SGS Mall.. its at the end of MG road... i dont remember the shop name tho, its on the LHS once u enter the mall... v.v. big shop..
Picked up the Cayenne & 356 from Odyessy @ E2 square mall... also try Toy Land, its a big toy shop on MG road..

all these 3 places have a very well stocked collection, worth a visit...

Does SGS have another Alfa?? I desperately need one!! And I know about toy land. Very Nice Store.

@siddvi - Thanks! the other ones are not striped with the signature Paul Smith Pattern. thats the reason I simply had to have the Mini because I love the Paul Smith quirky stuff. One of mine is a Brit Flag MINI and the other a Brit Flag London Taxicab, both from Paul Smith, made by Corgi and sold through Harrods.
Havent yet bought the Paul Smith Beatles Tribute cars but even those only have pics of the fab four on them - no stripes.

@superselect - was sure you'd spot anything to do with Brit classics of a certain era!
thanks!

Cyrus43 · 23rd March 2010, 23:52

Bought a Porsche 911 Techart Turbo Today. Good Detailing, but very expensive. It comes with the Techart Kit, Wheels, interiors, etc.

PetrolInMyVeins · 24th March 2010, 10:36

@Shahen-Hobby Centre/Planet is a place near Prabhat.If I'm not mistaken,that Mr Rajesh I mentioned earlier owns this shop.He also has his own collection displayed there so it should be worth a visit.He prefers that you call before you go,though.
@Cyrus43-Did you get that Bilstein version you'd mentioned earlier?I have one in yellow without the Bilstein decals.The TechArt kit is awesome,man.Seeing as it is that you have a tuner's disposition.You'll love it.Great buy!
@shankar.balan-Love the Paul Smith Mini.Always wanted one.
