1/12 Revell Ferrari Testarossa by Rob Knox

pics of the 1/12 kyosho ferrari f40 lightweight i picked up today. i ranted before about kyosho paint blistering with age or from brand new, which was the case here. previous owner tried to wet sand it but to no avail and did not finish because of time, and i picked it up for a song. i know someone who does airbrush artwork professionally and he said he can fix this so...

Oh man. I should have paid attention to those in the corner if it was damaged :(

it looks good from 5ft away, but up close... :cry:

I don't know what to say, unlucky, I've had at least 40 shipments with no duty or taxes collected

Is there anything good left at that guys house anymore? He actually texted me today asking if I was still planning to come by (he wasn't home when I was out there last weekend and called him) but it's quite a trek from Richmond haha

Looks like thumper is cleaning his house up more then what I bought from him. But there should still be quite a bit left

there are still many nice cars, but a certain someone here bought all the good stuff and what i have been getting are the broken down leftovers like that f40.

i've been talking to the painter. he's going to do a full strip and do a bare metal respray. he wants the testarossa model for all his troubles. it costs as much as $100 on ebay right now (there is another version under the monogram brand but it is cheaper for reasons i do not know) so i am hoping this is a deal well made for the both of us. i've seen some of his scratchbuilt work before so i am sure he can do something awesome with it.

now if i could only find the 1/12 fujimi r32 gtr skyline kit...

oh. this is nice...

i don't know much about this. it's resin and it's currently just a one-off?

off topic but i was wondering if anyone here collects figurines? i don't, but i picked this up last night as well because i looked really nice... jaina solo from the star wars series, daughter of han solo and princess leia 1/7 scale:

thinking about starting to collect these but i could use some tips and advice.

Won't be long you'll be dressing them and taking them on dates in public :D

Don't laugh I've seen it in real life in Japan, guys sitting in restaurants across from figurines even buying the figurine a meal lol!!

ew. creepy...

the seller had all the iron man figurines, from the mark 1 and up with led lighting in some of them. i saw some of them last week not knowing what they were worth and since then someone bought the entire collection... all gone :eek:

only interested in star wars stuff. used to follow it years ago but haven't lately so i am not current on anything. mara jade is the other character i was thinking of. she is the daughter of luke skywalker, but she met a sad ending in the star wars universe :o

So what do you guys think of AutoArt's new "composite" lineup that's due out any month now? I'm not that excited, the idea of an ABS plastic body defeats the whole purpose of collecting models to me, I want to feel the weight... I might as well build them if they're made out of plastic.

Not to mention it appears the price point is going to be in the $150+ range for them........ I know the AutoArt marketing angle is that they're more accurate reproductions with smaller panel gaps than zinc can offer, but I'm fairly certain this is a production cost-cutting measure more than anything.

AUTOart -

how much did you pay for the f40? the bubble is the thick band on the hood?

Thumper is looking for a 1/12 R32 kit eh???? Lol what you willing to pay

I have a 1/18 CLA45 AMG Edition 1 diecast for sale

FS: 1/18 MERCEDES BENZ CLA45 AMG EDITION 1 diecast model

PM if interested, discount for RS members

wth.. the multi+ button does not work. :/

you are so evil... being asian, i am cheap by default. less than whatever the sell for online, depending on which one it is.

not sure what you mean by "thick band"... the camera on my phone is crap. the clearcoat was breaking out over 70% of the body like chicken pox.

i posted this question a few pages back as well. i have the same concerns you do.

:fuckyea:

just saw this, so this will be a followup to my previous initial d ae86 post :thumbsup:

Yup lots of times, not much in the way of diecasts but you absolutely must go for all the dioramas, I guarantee you'll spend hours just staring up at the ceiling trying to come to terms with the scope of it all

is it across from willowbrook mall?

Yes, it was in the same parking lot as Princess Auto was... but recently I heard that they were moving to the space now vacated by Princess Auto (ie: expanding into a bigger space)

One last visit.

i ordered the resin mugen rear wing for the dc5r integra type-r i posted a few pages back. i thought i could hide the crack in the wing using a carbon fiber decal but the damage is too great.

now i'm wondering if i should use the decal on the hood of the 1/12 autoart 35 gtr instead, because the paint on the hood has a rough patch on it (the downside of being a low production number :( )... has anyone done this sort of decal before? i'm not sure what is the best way to clearcoat over it.
