Re: Display cases

I always wondered what happened to Bertby? They looked amazing and kept the dust away. I am still trying to get some as they regularly come up on ebay, but shipping is a pain due to its glass parts.

Re: ** CONTEST: My last HOLY GRAIL, what is YOURS? **

Happy coincidence or not, my holy grail has also been the Countach. But in 1:43 form, made by MR Models for Kyosho. A wonderful piece of scale model art with a full set of opening parts.

Re: Removing superglue residue from painted bodywork??

I have the same issues with a few 1:43 resin models. Glue residues in the shape of white stains. I tried to wipe them off with a wet cotton bud and succeeded partially. I should probably use dish washing soap as well but I am worried it might attack the paint or the polish. Are you sure it's safe?

I actually get a weird Miura vibe looking at its side view.

Re: 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Revealed In Scale Model Form?

Assuming it's a Minichamps or a Spark, it seems too detailed for a 1:43 model. Especially the headlights and the LED DRLs.

Re: Peako VS Autoart VS 1:1 McLaren Mp4-12C

In the end, BEAUTY is in the eye of the beholder! The resin versus die-cast debate is similar to the BMW versus Mercedes or Pepsi versus Coca-Cola wars... Each side will always have its fair share of fans and detractors.
