My new 1/18 F430 & Maserati MC12

Nice setup you got there. Did you find them in store or did you have to special order them?

 

WHere did you get the scale models, like the tool chest and the block?

 

I like the fat dude.

 

The REAL MC12 is impressive as well, in the flesh.....

I saw one at FoH, kicked the tires.....

Well, not really as Mr. Risi had a sign on it ....."Please do not touch".....LOL!

NIce!!!

 

What is GMP? I googled, didn't see anything like that.

High end models and accesories. I think they have some pretty good die-cast aircraft as well.

PS: Eric, that set up is awesome. Cool cars.

 

Nice Diorama.

 

Same pb on the MC12 and the 430 , the tires are way too thin !

 

Yeah what is the story there.

I don't like it how HW have made the standards cars the 'dub versions'!

That looks awesome!..hah...the fat guy makes it perfect...nice...

ive been wanting to make my own or get the items for a model showroom...what are some good sites to find accesories for model showrooms that you can buy over the internet?

But I think to make the one with the MC12 totally acurate, the gentleman should be in the processes of spilling his coffe upon site of the Maser.

I found some 1/24 scale parts here:

Nice photos Eric! I too have the Red and Yellow F430 1:18s and the wheels look like they are 20's. It looks great to me, I like that lowered and agressive look to it. What matters to me is, just as long its in 1:18 scale (Ferrari,Lambo,Porsche, and other exotics Only) then im happy

Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

 

wow, thats an ok model. Im still trying to find an F430 in calgary, I havent been able to. Im sure eventually, that or its off to ebay

Nice to see your diorama again, your two new models looks great - I read in this thread that the F430 comes in yellow and red....do you know of any other colours?? (or is the Spider yet available??)
To bad its a HW, those are very hard to repaint - but if I should expect a Bburago F430, then I guess I have to wait for a loooong time

I must idmit I havent been able to follow the 1/18 collectors so closely in the last 3 months, this because I've bought myself a 1/1 348TB "model"
But I look into this section from time to time

...and who knows, during the winter maybe I'll blow dust off my diorama again or make another "movie" still got some ideas left you know

 

The yellow 430 is available only in a presentation 'tube' at a higher price.

There is also a Spyder but it inherits the awful looking 360 interior with that sick shade of tan and moulded belts.

I seriously think that perhaps a new set of wheels might make them all look better?
