did it come with a stand?
i still find it hard to believe two of the exact same auto arts came in for trade in the same colour in the same week
if it was mine, like i said, kept in a case for years. I bought at autoworld in metro a few years ago for some stupid price , i sold it to them for 25 $ lol

!Kodamu 10-22-2014 06:56 PM

Not stands at all. Only car

i was afraid someone would ask.... i can't find the invoice at the moment. for the little bit i asked for i think it was around $150. he either gets stuff made or makes it himself out of aluminum or resin with molds or a 3d printer.

you get an parts list/order sheet and you fill it out and then he gives you a price breakdown. that much i remember... if you look at his other stuff there is another s2000 he finished and that is the one that made me do it. that one was something like $200-300 in a total ground-up rebuild. it even has plug wires, coilover suspension, and working lights :eek:

too scared to do this stuff on my own. results are never good.

someone here was asking about ef civic models... i found this upcoming stuff in 1/18 scale for the triple 9 collection series:

The Diecast Company :: Manufacturer - Triple9 collection

Triple 9 Collection ? Daboxtoys Model Cars (DMC)

(take note of the release date and the production numbers)

!Kodamu 10-23-2014 05:55 AM

!Kodamu 10-23-2014 09:19 AM

I should be ordering from daboxtoys. Since I might head back to HK in march so I can just bring them back with me. IXO is midium quality for 1/43.

i have very limited knowledge of ixo stuff. can't find anything 1/18 under their brand unless i am missing it online.

kodamu do you know anyone at daboxtoys?

i wanted to try daboxtoys (i like their dioramas)...

https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...4c183e3b6a21d6

but when i wanted to order gt spirit stuff, daboxtoys charged dearly for shipping and did not answer messages online... which is why i ended up going to mini911 instead :o

!Kodamu 10-23-2014 10:27 AM

No i haven't been there in person yet. I only knew of daboxtoy on my last trip and they were in the middle of moving store so I couldn't go. But i have friends that went there after

thumper 10-23-2014 10:31 AM

oh. i guess they are just ignoring me then :tears:

if it is a resin kit, the price is fairly typical, but again i'm not familiar with the brand. kodamu is the one to ask...
