About 1 1/2 years ago i had to get rid of a lot of models as there was no room and plenty of Nagging over them,i sold a lot of models but got most of what i wanted back as i realised it was a big mistake to get rid of something i hold so dear.She still asks when am i going to get rid of some but it falls on deaf ears now....what did she say LOL.
The models i will be showing on here are what i actually have now and i won't show the ones i got rid of so everyone can see what i actually have now not what i had.Does that make sense .

[[KRAFTIG]]

Yes

When we are looking at that yellow beast of a dragster, how much are we talking in terms of cost?

[Drivinghermad]

The Dragster cost i think around £3000 but i bought the case and base for it too.In fact all the Real Art Replicas have the original Cases and Bases and the P4 case is Rare as they only made a few for them the rest are custom made ones you see.

This is the Rare Danbury Mint 1/12 Big Kahuna,a Holy Grail that took me around five Years to eventually get hold of.

Living in England, Im sure you have seen or heard of the 1/8 scale Aston Martin DB5 that was put out as a kit with a magazine. Each week or month one piece of the car arrived with the magazine. After 85 issues the car was complete. All things on the car functioned with light and sound. And that only cost around 591 pounds. Its not many who has the dedication to really appreciate quality and willing to go the extra mile to achieve it. You really do have my admiration.

That is a GREAT marketing idea!

Big KaHuna indeed!

So what became of Real Art Replicas? How many models did they release?

[StratosWRC]

I'd love to have some of these things but there are none even on ebay.

I think I have seen all of your collection but I would enjoy to see each model once again here cause they are spectacular.
