Just an idea, collectors plz check this..
 
Yo guys I was wondering, JW has a pretty large diecast/handbuilt collectors community and I thought why not building a special 1/43 miniature car for our community?

What do you think? :D

ZfrkS62 04-10-2005 07:34 PM

specifics please? i'm not entirely sure as to what you're getting at

SilviaEvo 04-10-2005 07:36 PM

^^i think he says we should build a 1/43 car for JW because we have many handbuilt collections? the only person i know that builds these is RC who has the track in his garage

Mr.Vercetti 04-10-2005 07:39 PM

Im saying why not build a special mini that will be with JW decals, special model base, special colors and in general customized according to JW? It can be either a handbuilt or a diecast, IXO, Spark, Autoart all these companies do such special orders.

ZfrkS62 04-10-2005 07:57 PM

hmm...i think i could go for that :D

how about a black DiabloVT with the red and yellow JW on the doors in the SVT style?

SilviaEvo 04-10-2005 09:23 PM

^^wow i was going to say that like the SV. Autoart has tehm so we could make it a special order. although i think it better the JW to be just one color rather than two for two letters.

Yeah, I would go for something like that...but does it have to be 1:43? Can it be in another scale like 1:18?
I like the idea of the "JW" on the side of the car like the diablo SV, but both letters should be of the same colour/style, otherwise it would look tacky IMO.

Mr.Vercetti 04-11-2005 01:53 PM

I proposed to be in 1/43 scale so that more people could afford it... Plus if it is 1/43 we can create our own custom base.

Lets see what Jabba thinks about the project. :D

To be honest, I am not sure I understand. I mean, who will built it?

And do you mean you want to produce an ultra limited edition and then ppl can buy it?

Mr.Vercetti 04-11-2005 02:10 PM

TT as I already said, companies like Spark, IXO, Autoart can take special orders and create special limited custom models. I think that the M3(e30) North America Club had Minichamps create one such mini for their Club.

TT 04-11-2005 02:13 PM

Ah okok, I see now, but I am not sure they charge just the usual 30 to 50 USD / model in such cases.. especially since I think we wont' order more than 10 to 20 units... no idea though.. maybe you should first ask to the E30 club and see how they did it?

Mr.Vercetti 04-11-2005 02:20 PM

I already sent a couple of emails because the club that Im into(about Seat Ibiza owners) is interested in ordering a special Ibiza.

Ill notify when I have news.

sndr 04-11-2005 02:24 PM

That would be an great idea i sure want one If the price is a bit reasonable

komotar 04-11-2005 05:56 PM

I think it's a cool idea and I'm not even into all this model car things.....

I'm in. any scale, well, maybe not 1/1 :roll:

gis 04-11-2005 07:12 PM

be a great idea to have a special JW model to add to my collection :D
