Haha amazingly similar situation to mine.. What are the chances?

Ha ! Very good.

Could I ask what make is the T16 Evo ?
I've been waiting for Ottomobile to release a 1:18.

Thanks

Thanx, it's from Solido.
Details not on the level of Ottomobile etc, but it has nice interior details, you can open most doors and the body proportions are spot on. Which you can't say about the Ottomobile 205, its front end is too stretched, the windshield is too raked etc. (yes they have done one already, think it's sold out tho. Not the Evo, correct)

Couple of new purchases from Spark.

[P5BNij]

A question for you knowledgeable types - does anyone make 1/18th scale etched Italian number plates...? Need some for my Kyosho Lamborghini Urraco and other Italian models I intend to buy

I've thought about making some by photocopying them from photos in in books but prefer something more realistic if possible.

How about having them 3D printed? Lots of bureaus and agencies offering services now.

Sounds like a good idea, thanks for the suggestion

I'm struggling to find anywhere local to me that can 3D print. I want to have some 1/18 rally driver figures (the Autoart Tommi Makkinen ones) copes for a couple other cars but dont want to post them just in case they get lost.

Just bought this one for the office:



Only 150 made so a little surprised it is still in stock but hey...

Bought this recently, a bit of assembly required but I've wanted one of these for years and the quality does not disappoint:

I'd swap the Autoart with the Welly, personally! Shame to keep it covered up.

[Jader1973]

This arrived today: Rover 3500 Police Car by Model Car Group. It is sealed diecast.







I wasn't sure how accurate it was until I found a pic of the real one

Bought the missing car in the "Fiat Lampredi 16V bloodline"...
The 124 Abarth Rally 1975, which had the first 16V engine in 1800cc guise.

Altaya Fiat 124 1975
Kyosho Fiat 131 1978
Kyosho Lancia 037 1985
AutoArt Lancia Delta S4 1986

Looks like they might be a good looking line up but the lighting is so poor it's hard to tell for sure.

[Pereldh]

It's art.

[Church of Noise]

They're gorgeous Pereldh!

Could anyone tell me where or who I could purchase good quality 1:18 models of a 190e and Aston DB7 from? Livery, variation colour etc doesn't matter. Cheers.

Autoart.

Depending on your definition of good quality, Maisto do a DB7, too.
