Scale Model Collection Thread

[vaas2000]

Make: Hotwheels
Scale: Few 1:34 and few 1:36
Features: Pull back action, free wheels
What's missing: Bonnet, doors don't open, front wheels don't turn.
Body: mostly plastic and not diecast
Availability: ALL Shell petrol bunks. I bought all except F1 model from shell near iskcon temple in rajajinagar and the F1 model from Shell on Tumkur road near govardhan threatre. They refuse to sell F1 model alone and try to push you to buy others along with it, most of the times F1 is out of stock too. So carry the bill if case you buy the remaining 5 and when you go to buy F1 separately.
Cost: Rs 100 each.

Here are the final set of pics:

My Hummer Rcs
Scale: 1:18 and 1:24
Make: Maisto

[vaas2000]

Visited Forum mall and Reliance Time out in cunningham road.

First about Reliance, they don't have any new models and hardly have 4 or five pieces of diecast. 1:18s - jeep rubicon brush fire, 1:18 Hummer HX Rc, 1:18 Signature Silver arrow and 2 1:24 signatures.
They were selling the 3 signatures for 15% discount. But i didn't feel like paying so much at this juncture so dropped the plan

Forum mall - Landmark:
No new 1:18 diecasts, all the burago ones that i had seen few months back are sold out i guess, they have only 3 or 4. They had new lot of 1:12 maisto bikes but all are of the models that i already have. lot of 1:24 buragos. No discounts going on

Model Art:

Well, they surprised me. They say pictures speak better than 1000 words, so here are the pics for you guys I ended up picking 3 cars and an autoart keychain (yeah i know, this disease is horrible) Guess which ones from below

Autoart Models:





Burago Models:



UT Models:



Maisto Models:




Yes you read it right! 1:18 Buragos and UT have finally made their presence felt in model art! UT models are priced at Rs 995!
But i felt that UT models were worse than maistos, the finishing (especially the insides of the car) were bad.
Tried my luck for Welly, but these chaps said that they aren't dealing with welly.

Man o man, Vaas you are lapping these models like anything.

So what all three cars you picked?

No man, this was unplanned, You know model art has been stale from few months, so it was casual visit, but they had so many new models this time, that i had to pick up else they would run out of stock. Guess the cars Here's the clue:
2 cars are from the Fourth pic and one car is from the last pic

Thanks Inder These Hummer Rcs were picked up long back, didn't get time for a proper photo shoot, so finally i managed to take few pics few weeks back. These pics were taken late night after i got back from work and with very less light (just a tubelight!) fiddled around S3is till i got good pics. ISO and Shutterspeed made the difference combined with macro and super macro mode

I have few more scalemodels which were picked up loong back but haven't yet got their photo shoots done Will do more such shoots and will post up new stuff. Actually i did photo shoot of other models too along with Hummers and shell ferraris, i will post them this week

This shows that how a fellow collector understands other.

Yes, i knew that you will be first one, if not the only one who will name all the 3 cars Also can you tell me about Alfa Romeo 8c? There is a black beauty of burago in model art, is it one of the holy grails/must haves?
