The Scale Model Thread

Turbojc · 7th November 2010, 22:58

Hey guys! Here's my first post in this thread: a black 1:43 Lamborghini Countach 5000S by Bburago. Actually, this is my first scale model. I'm a newbie to this scene, so I hope I can learn a lot more about collecting scale models from the pros here

. I've already started to save up for a 1:18 Miura

!

You were on a shopping spree, I can understand your situation . So far in this month I have spent about £50 and this just the start of the month. I need some help.

Cyrus43 · 8th November 2010, 09:30

£50 is understandable.

anyways, they will stay forever so....

These are from the good old days, back when they all came with metal bases... and you could tell with one look how well it was manufactured... Hot Wheels still has some nice designs and real-life vehicles, but the quality has gone down a bit (noticeable immediately with the weight). I have some old Corgi, Hotwheels, Majorette & Matchbox vehicles, will have to browse my collection for the location and take a few pictures.

Could someone tell me where can i get an exquisitely detailed Lamborghini LP 670-4 SV? (Manufacturer & where can i buy it in Bbay - & if possible a price range as well)

Cyrus43 · 9th November 2010, 14:27

well, as of now, the only Lp640s you will get in bbay are he Maistos. and they are not very well detailed. where in bbay are you?

Would you like this one? I was thinking of selling mine.

Otherwise, you could always get one of those stock yellow/white/orange ones from most malls.

Xehaust · 9th November 2010, 14:59

Im in South Mumbai & am interested in the LP 670-4 SV. Not the 640. Below is a picture of the same.

Cyrus43 · 9th November 2010, 15:37

Whoops. My bad. Read it as LP640. Sadly, the 670 is not available anywhere in India.
