it was supposed to get a soft top but production issues meant it didn't happen :(

but there is talk of a mugen hardtop so fingers crossed.

now waiting to see if canada post will do their best to deliver it in one piece...

Looks sick man, never purchased a diecast in my life but they seem like neat collectibles

lawwd...must resist

Why did it take a few years lol

parts production issues and i am not his only customer for custom builds. if you look deep into his website you will see the other customer s2000 he made with working coilover suspension and led lighting.

oh no not again no space my wallet is empty why why why...

can we agree AutoArt 1/18 diecasts are the best overall package of Japanese vehicles in stock form if you don't get any defective bits? Kyosho seem prone to paint bubbles and Ignition are sealed (love the details and stance though)

^ Definitely... I actually feel bad for AutoArt on their Facebook page, every time they post something people just troll and trash the post soooo hard saying things about being overpriced and stuff....... yet anytime OneModel (example) posts something people drool over it and no one says a word about price even though they charge more than AutoArt does and they're all resin and non-opening models!

Im waiting for my 2000GT in 1:24 from Ebbro right now!

Autobarn models. 1/18 scale resin LibertyWalk 911. no.3 of 35.

so I just brought my first 1:18 model :grinno: i think i'm addicted lol.

Where can i find a glass or acrylic cover that goes over the auto art bases?

I haven't took it out of the box yes so don't quite know how it work. I would like to have a cover or display case ready for it for when I do. Where can I find a cover/display case for auto art 1:18?

AUTOart -

but shop around and you can land some good deals...

if you have a square foot of real estate, just get a detolf glass cabinet from Ikea...it's like $60 to house a dozen 1:18 scale vs $20-30 for each individual acrylic case

my first Exoto...feels like it weighs a kilo
if this is representative of their typical stuff, I think CMC is still the benchmark for this scale

the race car is a real piece of history...a replica of this chassis that was built to compete against the 250 GTO and gave Shelby the first win for an American constructor and planted the seed to build the iconic GT40

here's the video of it in action by the original driver and designer before it was auctioned off for $7M in 2009

I thought these were REALLY well priced when I saw him announce them, I was very surprised given the current climate... well bought

You have a point. But that means I have to dump more money. A shelf with 1-2 model is so gay lol

Ignition Model LB Performance R35 GT-R.

the only downside is that a display cover was not included. it was supposed to be available as an option but that hasn't happened :(

which brand reproduces the chamelon effect of the midnight purple paint best?

that's a difficult question. based on personal preference i liked the BBR 1/12 laferrari, but that might be due to its size:

anyone got space? ignition model announced this in 1/12 scale (sealed resin):

the only one other time IG released a 1/12 some time ago it was of the R32 GTR. they sold out really fast because of the low build numbers. the last time i saw one come up on auction it sold for double the msrp... mad.

See. total baller! Those GTRs are amazing looking beside each other.
