@ siddvi, nice LR but it's really bad compared to the welly & for 600 bucks, it's rubbish.
@ cyrus, nice painting.
@ shankar.balan, nice cars.

so here is my little stable of prancing horses - the cute little Hotwheels 1:43 Ferrari's. Good quality. Nice packaging. Looks like they've been made in China but imported by Mattel Toys Canada. How they reached Sapphire in Bangalore at Rs 499 per piece is anybody's guess. Thanks to my buddy Spitfire for the heads up!
Grabbed the lot this morning!
As usual the little mobile phone camera comes to the quick fix photo shoot!

1. 1:43 Ferrari 360 Spider - Yellow
2. 1:43 Ferrari 550 Barchetta - Silver
3. 1:43 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti - Rossa Corsa
4. 1:43 Ferrari TestaRossa - Rossa Corsa
5. 1:43 Ferrari 328 GTB - Rossa Corsa

I understand there are more - like the California, the 599 and the Dino etc on the way. Hope they come soon. Worth buying at this price in my opinion. Lovely little things.

This is a custom Matt Black Nissan GT-R. 1:18. Makes a perfect companion to my 911 Techart Turbo.

Dear cyrus, nothing is difficult. use red floor and back drop and let the top reflector be white (thermo-coal) and point the light towards reflector and use perfect aperture, and exposure time in camera. if you are using point and shoot camera. decrease the brightness (-/+)

Cyrus car looks greats, waiting for more photos.

Sunday boredom got the better of me so i decided to to take a couple of cool shots with my newest purchase

siddvi · 2nd May 2010, 18:08

@shankar.balan: Lovely Skodas and Ferraris you got

@SuperSelect: Thanks.
@AmitV8: Thanks, I got the LR eons ago but I have seen worse from Bburago. Agree, the one from Welly is fantastic in fit and finish.
@Cyrus43: Nice paint job. BTW, what color was the GTR to start with?

Another Rover here, a 1:26 - Range Rover Safari from Bburago.

agspins · 2nd May 2010, 22:17
