gt4me's collection

I would eventually like to find someone who sells bases like that here in the US. I did a quick search and found the US CMC distributor and looking over their website I was simply amazed, I will definitely be a customer of theirs. Oh can you post both interior and engine bay pics, please? Has CMC ever produced any turbo era F1 models?

 

I would prefer a US distributor simply because shipping would almost exceed the cost of the display. Heck I could also make my own if I had the inclination.

I already have a 1/12 RE20 I purchased around '85-'86 and yes sadly it is still un-built and in its original box, always kept indoors though. I have been quoted $500 to have it built professionally but I know I can find a local pro-builder and save a few dollars. Taking baby step's I guess one could say.

No not bad at all I would just prefer something more local ie this side of the pond.

 

So beautiful! Amazing. Congrats. The best version in 1/18 this moment.

Excellent choice.

 

Since we are talking about display cases i would like an opinion. I still have my collection boxed, and i´m going to finally build a cabinet where to put everything..for the 1/43, i will build big display cases made of glass...but for the 1/18 i´m not sure if i should do an enclosured cabinet or perhaps buy 1/18 display cases like yours and simply put them on shelves...any opinions would be welcome..thanks in advance.

 

Thanks for the pics.... actualy this is a bit what i was thinking to do....i also have teh f.1 collection in 1/43, and that none i want to put together but i also feel that individual display cases give more "nobility" to the 1/18 model...of course it´s harder to clean bu on the other hand, the models will be better protected from dust humidity or anything else....again thanks, loved both displays...

 

Marvelous!!!

 

I expected nothing less, thanks!

One more question is the steering wheel real wood? I suspect it is do to the attention to detail CMC have in their models, it is almost sacrilege to refer to them as mere models isn't it?

 

I also have this model and strongly recomend it....if you look at the price BBr and Mr are charging for sealed models, the cmcs are a steal!!! But i believe one of the ebst buys you can make it´s the bbr 375mm, marvelous model and easy to get for a very good price.

 

As well as the boot.

thank you, at the moment around 200 handbuilts.. Some of my latest are in the very rare models thread..

 

Marvelous hans, congrats, i especialy like the 312ps, gorgeous models, i'm still chasing one, probably from art model, best or bang, they are pretty decent models for the price range....
Just a couple of questions, whats the spacing between shelves? 10cm, more, less?
can you put a picture of the whole cabinet please?
