The Scale Model Thread

BANDHAV · 21st July 2010, 13:14

@Diecast: What you intend to do with the Lambo? I know that result which you have achieved with the ML is very motivating and you must be raring to do some more on the same line. But I would suggest you to use some other BBurago or Maisto for such customisation/experimantaion and spare the AA LP640, if still you are keen on Lambo get yourself a Masito one, even if you screwed up it won't be hurting much. Just my two cents.

I picked my 7th 1:18 Car scale model today, Autoart Honda S2000 in silver color.

@Mclaren: Nice picks again. The Porsche 911 Gt1 is good.

@Diecast: Nice job on the ML55, gels well with your AMG

@Diecast good work man,what was the paint used( spray can).For CF effect on Lambo, try to use Cf stickers.

@Cyrus43 is that display case for sale and what is the lighting used

@Siddvi I almost decided on getting a 1:32 of the same by New ray, but found it very
ordinary in terms of finishing and quality( what else you get for 200 bucks).This one is sweet.
