1:18th Scale Die-Cast Models

[Didymus]

Whats the running price on ur avarage exotic sports car (1/18)??

From $30 to $300. That covers everything from Bburago/Maisto to semi-mass produced higher end 1:18's, like Exoto, AutoArt, GMP, CMC, and, more recently, BBR. AutoArt offers the best car for the money; CMC and BBR are in a tie for top dog. IMO, of course.

There's no upper limit, but anything below $30 is most likely toy store crap. Lately, I've been slowing down and saving my pennies for a better class of model. It's the old quantity vs quality question; some people would rather have one great car than a hundred ordinary ones.

I love them. I think DUB City & Jada Toys make the best 1:18 scale diecast models. They know how to "Keep it Real."

Hope you like it. (I am waiting for 7 cars more which are shipped coming home. Veyron, 770K, another 33.2, Eleanor, Zonda, Corvette Grand Sport, 550A, Loncoln K)

Hey, welcome to UCP.

That's a nice collection there. Wish I had the room to do that. My Lego occupies a large portion of my room.

[GONZILLA78]

thanks for the wellcome, but I was still a member in 2003

I don ´t have too much room, so I make my own "second" floors for the vitrine as you can see.

right now I have finish the third one

(it is upside down, so glue is still fresh)

[GONZILLA78]

It works !!!!

[NSXType-R]

Yeah, but you have so few posts.

Sorry, I forgot to notice that.

[GONZILLA78]

yes.
when I became a member here, I was already a member in sc.net. I had so many posts there as you´ve got here.

and then I started posting in a spanish forum, in which I have 30.000 posts nowadays

Since then I still read you, but I spend most of the time posting in the spanish one, so it is easier to me to express myself.

[NSXType-R]

Ah, I see. I spend most of my forum time here. I'm still small fry compared to the post counts of others.

However, it is not the post count that makes the member.

i must say, thats one of the coolest car collections EVER. very, very nice

EDIT: the pictures exceed the 800x600 limit for posting within the page

[GONZILLA78]

ok, I am editing bigests in post 322.

In post 333, bigger is 950x450, so I think I is within

NSXType-R, of course the number of posts doesn´t make a member. Me is the example. I am under 40, and I remember when this forum was created and we were just 20 members

[GONZILLA78]

by the way, I want to show you what my last project looks like today

not finished yet.

It is a Bburago 250 testarossa '57

[70cuda88]

very cool project, but your pictures are still too wide. just stay at or under 800x600 and you have nothing to worry about

That TR looks very good indeed.

[NSXType-R]

Yup, definitely.
