Default TigerX's PUNY collection UPDATED!!!(24/09/2004)

k here they are in some crappy display thing i got from IKEA. yeah they're like a rat's ass compare to you guy.



btw, a few more are coming next week.

WELL BAD NEWS FIRST, i wasn't able to pickup one of the Ford GT40 at the store, why? becaus i wanted a Mk2 and they have only 1 mk2 which they already sold, they only have 2 mk4 left, so i went to another store, and to my surprise, the mk2 was there but the price was like 300$ which is out of my league. THE GOOD NEWS, i was able to pickup a GMP 1/18th mustang boss 302, the quality is Very good (it better be for 169$ LMFAO).






these are a few that i'm thinking about buying (can only afford 2 though):

1/18th EXOTO FORD GT40 MK2 Lemans winner
1/18th porsche 917 from autoart
1/18th porsche GT3RSR from autoart
1/18th lancia delta intergrale from autoart(is this one out yet???)
1/18th BMW M3 or M3 CSL from autoart.[/img]

Screw all of those, i've set my sight on 1 single model now, it's as expensive as both those car together.

it's a 1:18th Ford GT40 mk2 made by Exoto, i've located them somewhere in toronto. they cost around 250$ canadian for 1 car, but the details is amazing, i'm not rich enough for the 1:10 or 1:12 version of this car which cost like 1000+ so i'm gonna have to go with this one. wish me luck guys, they only have 3 of them left. and Exoto isn't supplying them with models anymore, the day will be next friday .

here's some info on the model:

Small collection true but exceptional quality .... nice choice in cars as well brand (Autoart).

I was contemplating the same shelf but couldnt too many cars to fit in so I switched to simple steel shelves

Nice way to display the models what's bad about IKEA's furniture? nothing at all but you will need a lot of free space if you will keep displaying them like that

That's why I went down the 1:43 road myself but then there is my girlfriend and her dolls everywhere

i'm guessing that's not an Exoto, cuz they only make 1:10 and 1:18

i saw the gt40 mk2 1:12 #2 driven by mclaren/amon in another store, that is being sell for around 1000$CND+ so i quickly take out a crowbar, smash the case and then stole the car lol. jk. but yeah that's just crazy how much it cost.
