Scale Model Collection Thread

[vaas2000]

Here's the list of things that i picked up from landmark (both outlets in forum and garada swagat malls) back to back on three weekends Am broke for the month!

Burago 1:24 Fiat 500 L (red)
Burago 1:24 Fiat 500 from Bari to Pechino (Yellow)

Newray 1:6 1997 BMW R1200C
Burago 1:18 Jaguar "E" Coupe (1961) Assembly Kit
Signature 1:24 1938 Cadillac Fleetwood

Burago 1:18 Lamborghini Diablo Assembly Kit
Burago 1:18 Volkswagen Kafer-Beetle (1955) (Dark Green)
Burago 1:24 Alpine Renault A110 1600S - (French racing colours)
Maisto 1:12 Aprilia rsv 1000 (Red/black, I didn't have it in this colour)

I got 15% discount on 1:18 models and 20% on 1:24 models. Both the bikes were bought at 20% discount. Their "up to 50% off" sale is going on till October 11th.

Last weekend i happened to go to brigade road sapphire toys and made the quickest scalemodel purchase till date Somehow felt i need these two and bought them:

Burago 1:18 2009 Nissan GT-R (Red)
Burago 1:19 BMW X5 (Blue)

I already have the GTR in pearl white, but somehow felt red too had a unique appeal, so it came home. The X5 was no brainer, it was a must have for a SUV fan like me it matches my pajero's colours The passenger doors being sealed shut was something hard to swallow but otherwise it's a decent model.
I have now officially run out of parking space!
Yet to take pics, i will do that soon and post up. Not sure when i will start/finish assembly the 1:18 kits! But am damn excited as these are my first 1:18 assembly kits. Now i need miura to complete the lambo line up and that addition will take many more days for sure!

Hehe, thanks guys, this is one of disadvantages of this madness, you run out parking space! The main space hoggers are 1:18 cars.

cool, it is Optimus from the transformers series, how much did you get it for ?

[HydBiker]

Kriss has a collection of about 30 1:12 scale models of Motorcycles. He bought 5 of them two days before his expiry and was asking me for a carpenter to get a showcase done for the scale models.

Anyone collecting scale models in Hyderabad???
Vijetha Super Market in Chandanagar (BHEL) had about 40-50 1:12 scale models of motorcycles at their store. All made by NewRay. If you go there, check for them on 1st floor toys section.

Thanks Vaas. All are 1:18 except for the R1 which is 1:12 and yes all are Maisto. These are all my old collection... almost a year back i have got them all...

Time to tweak my shopping spree
