Lovely. Are you going for a full set of Art cars?
Thank you. Wife done good. My current collection includes:
Roy Lichtenstein 320i
Frank Stella CSL
Alexander Calder CSL
Sandro Chia M3 GTR
Ken Done M3
Kayama 535i
(Sorry old photo, Chia and Done cars not pictured)
The Jeff Koons M3 GT2 is one of my grail models. If I can get that next, I'll be happy (but prices are mad ).

Prices of AutoArt models have gone through the roof. The last 1:18 I bought was the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento and I've virtually resigned myself to not buying any more at those prices. I can afford to buy, but the prices are ridiculous, so I will only buy something special.
More 1:18s are now being made in resin but don't have opening doors, boot etc.which is a shame. I bought the Kyosho GT Spirit Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota in white and it does look really good, so don't have a problem with the finish.
Nice display units g3org3y, who makes them?
Yep, prices on the increase.More 1:18s are now being made in resin but don't have opening doors, boot etc.which is a shame. I bought the Kyosho GT Spirit Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota in white and it does look really good, so don't have a problem with the finish.

I've got a lot of resin models (Otto and GT Spirit). As a BMW fan, it allows me to get the models that would otherwise not exist (if waiting for them to be made in diecast). I think they are very decent, though again prices on the rise mean they are less of a 'bargain'. Some lovely paint finishes though.
Thanks, they are Ikea (Hemnes).

Loving your work.
Thanks. I just never got round to opening them so they sat there piled up. Took up a decent amount of space in the hall. Wife got annoyed and said if they weren't 'sorted' by the end of the bank holiday weekend they'd end up outside.thebigmacmoomin said:
