Thanks Guys, it is to a lot of collectors a Holy Grail in the 1/18th scale. I am mainly a 1/12 collector but this has been on my list to get for a very long time so at some point i had to get it and when this showed up on the bay i had to add it to the collection.
Didn't know that, Wes, about this model and it is a very heavy model so i can believe it.

Crazy how detailed this thing is. And they were so heavy that some of the chassis bent under their own weight.
Yup, I've seen photos back in the day

Went to see my Friend this weekend and he gave me this old Beauty for free. It's the Minichamps 1/12 1992 McLaren F1 Road car in Dark Blue I already have one in this colour but that has paint rash, this is virtually free from rash so i gave it a quick clean and got it behind the Camera. Still loving the detail after all these years, one of Minichamps finest in 1/12th In my opinion.

Probably the best 1/12th model from Minichamps. Back in the old days when detail mattered this was so sought after and one of the best when first released. The real McLaren F1 has gone through the roof price wise as it has gathered quite a following as time has passed. even those that didn't like it when it first came out have mellowed to it over the years. There is not a better 1/12th McLaren F1 you can buy, all look fantastic as it came in around seven colours.

So true! They were once my favourite brand, but not so much today. :shame:

If I collected 1:12, this one would be in my collection. And on more than one occasion I could have scooped one up a great price!

The next model has Great detail and a superb finish. It's the Frontiart 1/12, 2023 Koenigsegg Gemera, in Iron Grey. I have to be honest i am not a fan of the look of the outside of this (hope it grows on me) but it does have some nice features and the interior is so nice probably the best part about the car. The seats look super cool with excellent finish to all the parts. Well done to Frontiart for making such a well finished model and the plastic cover that comes with it is thicker than what came on the 1/12 Jesko from them giving a higher perceived quality finish all round.

Thank you. From this being shown to releasing it must have been a few Months so my guess is they must have been well into making these before they told the Media/collectors about them, or they work super fast.

Up next is a Land Speed Record model that just about everyone has heard of. It's the Spark 1/18, 1964 Bluebird CN7 Lake Eyre LSR Car driven by Donald Campbell. This is a very heavy and quite large model at around 50cm or 20". Comes with a solid clear Perspex type case, very nice. It came from CK in a outer box that was around four feet(48") by two feet (24"), absolutely HUGE, the Missus just turned and walked away shaking her head LOL. This is another very impressive model to see up close, hope you guys like it as much as i do.

Sorry to disappoint but will be in storage for now. Until i get a bigger home these will have to be stored once i have taken photos, but when they do go on display it will be a sight to see for sure.

This next model is another beauty. It's the Frontiart 1/12, 2015 Koenigsegg One :1 in Silver. (This is my own personal opinion below after collecting over 320 x 1/12th models over 30 odd years)A Decade ago i came to the conclusion Peako made the best 1/12 Resin sealed models in the world and at that time they did. I can now confidently say after buying a few of the Frontiart 1/12 models the baton has been passed onto Frontiart who now make the best sealed resin 1/12th models, i can't fault any of the models that have gone before me. A high accolade indeed from a maker who is new to the 1/12th scale scene and long may they continue, well done Frontiart.
