I have to admit that those HPI seem to be highly detailed and the mould quality is very impressive. I wonder if they've developed a new way to manufacturer or use a different material which results in finer details...

i have a collection of models of various scales that are sitting in my loft doing nothing at all.

they are all mint & all in their original boxes. i might sell them (as one lot) although i have no idea what they might be worth.

dont really want to sell them however house isnt big enough to display any of them. anyone interested?

if so please mail me & i will send you a list of what i have got.

also got a large collection of motoring books cluttering up my parents loft. they dont want them & like my car collection i dont have the space for them anymore.

probably a very reluctant sale however they are wasted in the loft so might be tempted to let them go depending on what i get offered.

also have many unbuilt tamiya plastic model kits which i might sell as well including a senna marlboro mclaren mp4/4 in 1/12th scale, a mansell williams fw14 in 1/12th scale & a brabham bt44 in1/12 scale which is in white martini livery. all of which are unbuilt.

there are a number of 1/20th & 1/24th scale f1, rally & road car kits as well, again all of which are unbuilt & in their original boxes.

also got a martini porsche 935 & a jagermeister porsche 934 in unbuilt 1/12 scale.

any serious offers? dont really want to sell however they probably wont get built & even if they were i havent got anywhere to display them.

finally i have a collection of built 1/24th scale tamiya kits at my parents house sitting in a display cabinet. anyone interested?

i/'m not interested in ebaying any of them for obvious reasons.

They are still using standard diecast techniques as far as i know. But they have hit the diecast market with a massive bang. Nothing but good reviews.

I hope they expand their range more by this time next year. If they do we are in for some real treats
