I'm curious, what did you do to add the extra glass shelves to the Detolf cabinets?

I use 6mm stainless steel wire clambs:


Attach these to the vertical rods from the detholfs at the 4 corners, lay the new shelve on top and done.

Another addition that arrived a while ago is the Kyosho re-release of their Lamborghini Urraco. Model is basically as expected, slighly showing its age, but still very capable.

Thanks! I'm going to give this a try too, the cabinets are nice but lots of empty space currently.

Great looking Urraco. Love that model & that color.

A model I have been looking at for a long time is the ACME 1970 Dodge Challenger Trans Am. Old American racecars are a bit under represented in my collection (apart from the Ford GT40), so it was finally time to add this model to do something about that. Because I wasn't convinced from pictures I didn't order it online, but went shopping to see it in the flesh first. Luckily my favourite local shop is the official European importer for a lot of American modelmakers (like ACME, Greenlight, HW61 etc etc), so they showed me all I wanted to see.

The model doesn't disappoint, like the other 3 ACME models I added not too long ago. There might be more following

No my cup of tea, though the under carriage images are way cool!

awesome model. I have the Cuda version driven by Dan Gurney. Both are very well done & look great on display.

I like it!

A model I should have added a long time ago, but didn't, is the AA Jaguar E-type lightweight. I don't know why I waited this long, but glad I have it now. Absolutely beautiful car and an equally beautiful execution by AA.

Nice addition! I picked this one up on looks and uniqueness factor alone. A decent model overall.

Stunning model. Love the intakes on the engine.

Still rush hour here with models coming in at the moment. Another model I wanted to add for a long time is the new Alpine A110. Having the 70's car in the collection, the new was a must add. Models of this car are made by Norev, Solido and OttOmobile. So which one. Not convinced and unable to make a choice from pictures, I visited my favourite shop to see them in the flesh. Choise became easy, the OttOmobile won (by far). There is plenty of choice in colour, but I went for the légende specification in Abyss Blue with the tan interior. A stunning spec if you ask me.

The model btw is surprisingly good. Maybe the best OttoMobile model I have seen to this date.

OttO offers up great value

That A110 looks good. I have a couple Alpine from Otto and can confirm they are really good. In my experience their French cars are better made than the rest.

I haven't seen this one yet. Great color combo!
