Fresh update and this Beauty came today so i thought i would do a bit of photo work on it.It's the Premium Classixxs 1/12 1955 Porsche 356A Coupe and a very nice model it is too.This is a very light model but has some nice features,another winner from PC and i managed to get 20% off in a sale.

Next update is a Great looking model and looks very real sat in front of me,Well done Otto for a better than expected Beauty.It's the Otto 1/12 1986 Peugeot 205 GTI 1900 in red.
The only down side i saw was it had a rear side window had fallen off in transit coming to me but soon remedied .It's quite rare to see one of these now and another welcome addition.

Looks really good, though what is the motivation is buying it in scale?

Otto did a great job, this 205GTI looks really good.

Thanks,my main scale is 1/12 so that's why i bought this Beauty.I have a two more to get from OTTO in 1/12 that i don't have yet but other commitments come first as well as other models that are on their way.

Thanks,it does look really accurate sat in front of you and the colour is very nice too,one of the better ones.

The next model is a Stunner,this is right up there with Peako and you know how good they are in 1/12.It's the Looksmart 1/12 2016 Lamborghini Centenario Carbonium.
First off i have to tell you it came from Atelier- Italy in around 36 hour to the UK,impressive enough but the packaging is the best i have ever seen on any model.It came with the inside of the outer box being lined on four sides with thin plywood so no objects can penetrate it along with the styrene corners to keep it in mid air and stuffed with popcorn.Then the inner box had what looks like a custom styrene shell you lift out in parts to reveal the models box,10/10 for packaging Atelier.
We then come to the model(i am already glowing from the packaging) and Wow this is a Stunning model to see in front of you.It is near on perfect from what i can see with flawless Carbon Fibre gloss all over the body apart from the roof which is Matt Carbon Fibre and the Yellow painted parts really set this Beauty off.This has to be one of the biggest surprises of the year as i didn't expect it to look this good seeing photos on the net that do not do this justice.See for yourselves how nice this really is,enjoy.

WOW WOW WOW! What a gorgeous piece of art! Good call on adding this one. Model of year? Did you see the 1:12 Audi R8 racer on sale at CK? Might be just up your alley.

Post by **Drivinghermad** » Sat Nov 25, 2017 2:12 pm

Thanks for your comment,it is a really Sharp model.I already have the 1/12 R8 racing model and it was on here before Photo*uckit held us all to Ransom.Maybe one day they will release the photos again.
If you like this i have another Looksmart 1/12 coming in a few weeks that may just change your mind on what may be the 1/12 Resin Model of the year ? (Vision GT 1/12 in a few weeks so my Dealer tells me)Really looking forward to seeing that up close.

Here we have another new arrival ,the BBR 1/12 2015 Ferrari 488 Spider in Fire Red and it is quite a stunning looker but unfortunately the photos don't show just how nice the paint really is.
It's more like a ruby/wine red in certain lights.
I just love this model it looks so nice but it does have one flaw with it...BBR if you are reading this can you make the interior as nice as the exterior.The truth is GT Spirit has a better interior finish and this is the weak point of the model.This is #1 of only ten made in this colour so you would think BBR would make the interior shine on a Spider model because after first looking at the model as you walk up to it you then look straight into the open cockpit to find the quality has been let down slightly(mainly the steering wheel and air vents).It still is nice but come on BBR you CAN do better for a asking price with shipping of around 1200 Euro....
So as you look through the photos try and imagine the colour above to what you see and that my friends is what we have here.
