Very happy to finally have this up and with the addition of the lights it's very nice. |
that's beautiful shelving unit, where abouts did you get it?

The only Euro's in my collection atm, really liking the amount of detail that GT Spirit puts into these models despite them being resin.

Autoart 993 Carrera and GT Spirit GT2 EVO (courtesy of my crappy phone cam)... Thanks to Torontomotorsports boxing day sale for the former, and William from https://www.facebook.com/cars79diecast/ and tofu for the latter

I have a crapload of maisto and bburago diecasts. Most of them are Porsches and SUVS. I used to have a Ford Mustang Cobra, Jaquar XJ, Lexus SC430, Honda S2000, and some others that I can't really remember. I used to smash the shit out of some of the cars I had when I was about 3-7 years old. I want to collect some more but I don't really have enough room and I think that nobody would buy a scratched up Ford Thunderbird with the front suspension broken and the front windshield missing.

autoart made a 1/18 scale LB 458 prototype for display at the tokyo auto salon... not sure if it will ever see production because autoart is not licensed by ferrari, which is why there is no ferrari badgework on this. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.p...72028929488815
