Thanks Marcel,i hope they add more realism to the dash soon on future models as a sticker doesn't cut it.

This is the start of a handful of models I bought from my friend when I went down to his home to see his World class collection who collects extremely high value and quality models and was unable to fix the 1/12 models I bought due to health problems (I had to clean them up and glue the windows back in) Again all in 1/12th. I had to put the work into them but wow they have turned out quite nice and so rare too. Here is the APM/Model workshop 1/12 McLaren F1 GTR in Red #10. This turned out so nice once it was polished,a very nice looking model.

The models are quite a few years old and the glue has come away from the windows through time,it is well known for these APM models to have this challenge with them.As my friend can't physically fix them he let me have them at a lower price than they would be,so i got a good deal but had to put the work in for them.Not enough hours in the day at the moment but i will be putting them on here when i can.

Second in this run of 1/12 models is the APM/Model workshop 1/12 1996 McLaren F1 LM in Orange. This is also the second one of these I have but I couldn't refuse this beauty from my friends collection as it's so rare and a Great classic to have. I have been very short for time these last couple of weeks so getting these models back to some good state was a challenge (the front window top and front light cover need re gluing again)but when I have more time I will be going over these again to see if I can improve the details some more. Always a pleasure to see this Beauty.

Agreed,it looks very nice in this colour. In the sun and close up it has a pearl effect to it and looks even better than the camera can show in photos.

Here is another from Mike. It's the APM/Model workshop 1/12 1996 McLaren F1 GTR in Red,like the #10 above but without the numbers and livery on it. I broke the front ring into three pieces on this while moving it out of the box but glued it back together for the photos, again I will make this look better when I have more time on it. Also I decided to make some centre wheel nut springs as this didn't have them like the others but after taking photos I looked this up and the real car doesn't have them too,i think I will leave them on though.

And the last AMP/Model workshop 1/12 model from Mike is this Beauty. It's the APM/Model workshop 1/12 1996 McLaren F1 GTR in Matt Black. A really nice model that was a custom one off from them so I believe. I think the Matt Black suites the Big Mac very well although I should have cleaned it better before taking photos, sorry.

These are so rare and expensive so just to buy one is an achievement and to be able to get five in one hit is stuff of dreams. Add in the reduced price as work was needed and to me it was a no brainer. They were still expensive but not the $1250 each i have seen them for sale at on the bay.

Next up to show to you is this last one from Mike. It's the minichamps 1/12 McLaren F1 road car in Yellow. Looking at this model made me realise how good Minichamps was with excellent detail to the 1/12 Big Mac. Come on Minichamps bring back models like these they were very nice and worth buying with all the opening parts to them.

I never have seen one of these in the flesh, but it does look good in your photos. A lot of negatives opinion on this model. I wonder why? At one point in time, you could get these for a steal! I almost bought the White when I was considering add 1:12 scale.
