Kwando's Collection Journal - Ferrari Update!

White, interesting choice. Will it be a matte or frozen white?

It will likely be Avus White..a legitimate Ferrari colour. I'm not particularly a huge fan of matte cars.

Why on't you go for the Bianco Fiji? It is total pain in the a$$ to spray correctly, but the pearl makes it "softer" and it looks dramatic under certain light. Also Felipe Massa's Scud was Bianco Fuji with gold stripes. Very sharp looking car.

Ah, I may be getting my colours mixed up. I'll have to look into it...but I was initially looking to have a non-metallic/non-pearl white..we'll see. It sounds like you're recommending Bianco Fuji over Avus?

That lineup of M3 GTS's looks awesome.

Can't wait to see the customs (of the F430 Scud as well).

1:18 AUTOart Mclaren F1 LM Road Car (Orange)

I'm finally home during the day so was able to snap this one quickly with some natural light. Picked up this beauty not too long ago and I'm very pleased with it. Very glad I got rid of my UT variants for this one. Haven't had the courage to do the exhaust modification yet. I'm also debating on whether or not I should add the white road car version..

[Nicadraus]

Beautiful model indeed. AA nailed it!

Congrats!

Looks great Denis. I think the the road version is a must too.

1:18 GT Spirit Mercedes G65 AMG Dealer Edition (White Pearl Metallic)

New additions finally arrived. A pair of gorgeous G65 AMGs. I originally was pretty bummed that I missed the first round of G65s that came through CK's website but after seeing it being restocked I jumped on his last pair right away. I paid more than I would have liked but now I can proudly display it in my collection with it's older brother. I do see CK has it back in stock for 220 Euros..

This was my first CK order didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped as I ended up paying an extra $30 in duties

Nice adds. Why two? Resins aren't the easiest to resell.

One for my home office. One for my office office I love this truck.

Like the G-Wagons, although I have to admit, sliver would be my favourite colour for them. There's just something about a silver Merc looks so right. M3 looks the biz!

1:18 GT AUTOS Ranger Rover (Black & White)

Snapped some quick pics this morning. Love these two trucks. They both ooze class and commands respect everywhere it goes. A few makers have been producing models with tinted windows and I welcome it. Even though it may hide some details I think it adds some realism to it. A SUV without tinted windows is not a SUV. I would love to have a LWB version with executive rear seating package.

My brief thoughts - Quality is ok. Over-priced but I had to have these. Very nice weight to it. I focused my pictures more on the white one as we've mostly seen the black one so far and I love the white/red combo. It might be my favourite of the two. I did notice there seems to be a bit of discolouring between the rear passenger door and rear quarter panel. Only noticeable if you're really looking for it though. Interior isn't as bad as I've heard. I actually think it's not bad but give it's price I suppose it should be better. Panel lineup could be better too but overall a pretty solid model all things considered. I like the extra detail of covering the emblems for me to take off..but I'll probably leave it on for now.
