Up next is a car we all know,it's the GT Spirit 1/12 Bugatti Chiron in Red.This is another Great looking model although i did ask Amalgam if they could make a Red/Black version in 1/12 as i didn't want the Blue one they had made but they said no so this was the only option at this time.The GTS version came with a few slight issues that i have since rectified,the left hand mirror came off in transit and glue smears on the bottom edge of the CF/Bodywork cleared up by locktight glue remover.The other thing about this is i don't know if the Chrome around the front grill and silver bits are supposed to be Chrome or silver but they are painted silver(nicely done) just didn't know if it was meant to be that way,otherwise a Great looking subject with real metal parts on the Engine cover a Fantastic touch too.On with the photos.

Lovely, just lovely. I can't wait to add the AUTOart 1:18, maybe in 2018 LOL

i did ask Amalgam if they could make a Red/Black version in 1/12 as i didn't want the Blue one they had made but
they said no so this was the only option at this time

Wow they said no? They do bespoke, so why not?

[Drivinghermad]

Thanks,they said they just do the 1/12 version in blue and had no plans to make it in another colour ? Their loss as i would have bought it for the finer detail it has over this already Great model from GTS.How much more work would it have been to produce it in another colour.
I spoke to Atelier(MR) and they said they will be bringing out their customisation to the 1/12 range in the near future,they already do it in 1/18 and 1/43 so i have my eye on a custom version of the 1/12 Centenario Roadster.

I wish my pockets were this deep, interesting specimen to go all-out for nonetheless!

Last update for this year to see us out with Bang is a Rare 1/12 model.It's the Buonarte(i think part of BBR,packaging looks the same) 1/12 2012 W Motors Lykan Hypersport in Red.This is another Great looking model with very nice features although i had to glue the roof window down in the corner as it came adrift but apart from that it is all very nice.

Can i just say as we are nearly here,to all of our collecting Brothers and Sisters wishing you all a Happy New Year and may 2018 bring even better than before,all the best Darren.

Very nice and unique addition for sure. Never heard of Buonarte either. Happy New Year sir!

[Atalante]

Nice models Darren. Happy new year 2018!

[Drivinghermad]

Thanks Guys,it's a rare one indeed,the only one i know of from Buonarte in 1/12,lets hope they make more of this type of subject in this scale,happy New Year to you too.

Next up is a Great looking model with a Fantastic Metallic Black/Red line finish to it,it's the BBR 1/12 2016 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta Black/ Red stripe.This is just a wonderful looking model with detail and finish so much better than the 488 Spider i showed a few models back,especially the interior which is in a different league to the 1/12 488 Spider BBR version.Well done BBR for making a very nicely done Beauty.

That one is stunning!

Love the color combination and interior!

[[KRAFTIG]]

Great execution. Not a huge fan of the Black exterior. What's next?

[Drivinghermad]

Thanks Guys,it's one of BBR's better models.I personally like the Black/Red stripe mix on this and it looks very nice to the naked eye.
The 1/12 Bugatti Vision GT is on it's way from Italy as we speak so should be here some time next week,a model i have been salivating over for the last year,it promises much in my eyes,let's see.

[[KRAFTIG]]

That will be epic addition!
