eighty-four. not sure if that is a good number in chinese... or do they both cancel each other out? :confused:

I had a MR Ferrari 599 GTO in blanco white with the navy blue stripes, gunmetal wheels... kept it for a few years, but just threw it on eBay a month ago and someone from China bought it within hours.

Checked the guys feedback, he is buying on average about 50 models per day and has been doing so for like 6+ months... just insane!! He must have trucks backing up to his house every day!

probably flipping them. but be careful... the last time i heard about something like this where someone was making high volume purchases using a stolen credit card :o
i am sad you sold yours... this is the only 599 i have and i like it very much...

any idea where i can find a display case that will fit the leather base?

I agree, the SVs are stunning. Quality is defn a lot better than some other performance series from Autoart too.

What brand / scale is your bus? Looks sweet!

3 Red bulls. Veneno is the roadster from Kyosho.

i still don't know what to think of the veneno...

It's from Buses Model Co. 1:76

I never took mine out of the box and never tried to find a display case... I think the MR base is actually kind of ugly with the 4 rivets in the corners... I think if I was putting mine in a case I would have unmounted it lol

This was mine:

ugh why did you sell it... so nice :(

i finally pulled mine out of the case. i guess i need to find an acrylic box with a bottom that is wide enough to stuff all this inside without taking it off the existing base still attached?

the current MRs have different bases now in suede, alcantara, etc. which has a lip for a cover to sit on. but when i tried to ask MR i wasn't able to get a reply :confused:

someone was asking about their autoart order at wilkinsons. this is from their newsletter dated today:

i've been asking around for a local source for display cases and this came up:

i was wondering if anyone else has any more suggestions?

i collect those buses too, i got atleast 20+ of them... Corgi, Drumwell, CARS workshop, 80m Model Bus, and Buses Model Co. makes those buses.... they also comes in 1/24 scale too...

that widebody :megusta:

I'm not a big Ferrari guy at all so I felt it was expendable and he paid me way too much $$$ for it, so I'm ok with it! I always feel like I'm giving away children tho.

I have been contemplating liquidating my entire collection though... Kinda feel like I'm done with the whole thing.

you know where to find me :thumbsup:

not sure if this well known... this was a nissan japan dealer only model from autoart. you couldn't buy it in regular stores. 1000 units in "titanium grey", more more commonly known as Titan:

Thumper, where do you keep all your models? Seems like you're getting 1 or more a day :lol

i keep them where there is space and sleep on the floor because the pumpkin has the bed.:sleep:

actually many i've had for some time, but i never took pics of anything. but after i recently joined a diecast facebook page where photography is encouraged i only started to take pics of everything now. but a lot of stuff is still bnib... either too expensive or worried something might happen to them if they are out in the open :o

do they have premade one or is it custom order?
did you get a quote on the pricing?

the person who told me about this said they have some premade stuff, but it's mostly about custom order, ie. non standard sizes. i've been meaning to go because the person i spoke to on the phone wants to see the base i was hoping to fit the cover around but i haven't been able to find time :(

Hi, I'm looking to find a 1:43 Minichamps Porsche 918 Spyder in Silver Colour. Do you know where I can find one.
