ScaleModelCarz - A forum for Indian scale model car enthusiasts

I used to collect those small Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars and I still have them, But recently started collecting 1/18 models. Why directly 1/18 because I love detailed works.

BMW M3 E92 (DE)


The Audi R8 V10, The BMW M3 E92 and The Lambo LP 550-2 Balboni


Showing their hearts:



Random Shots..





Have ordered for the 1/18 Minichamps SLS AMG in red color and I am on the lookout for the 1/18 HWE 458 Italia and the 1/18 HWE 599 GTO..

And Sorry no detailed pics.. either my camera sucks or I do

Hi Curiosity, welcome to SMC

Those are some fine models to start your innings here mate. Don't worry, the pictures have turned out fine.
Try some more in daylight too. I am especially interested in seeing the interiors of that Balboni Gallardo - still on the fence about whether to get her or the Super Trofeo... your pics could maybe help me make my mind up.

I saw the new autoart's in modelzone yesterday. the Super Trofeo is shattering in orange. Get both as they are both masterpieces. Trust me.

Maybe a small start but what a glorious start. I hear the little fellows sitting on either sides on your shoulders go 'hallelujah! hallelujah!' Love them. I think that Hotwheels and Matchbox have lost a collector permanently.

Welcome to the forums, Curiosity. Great start, and the E92 looks great in red, as do the others. I'm sure you'll have a great time here at SMC.

Cheers

Welcome!!! Great to find that you have started collecting with premium brands.

Thanks Guggga, I will click the interior pics over the weekend and will post them here. If you are finalizing your purchases before that please let me know I will try to click a few and post earlier.

Thanks groundforce, I was contemplating between the white and the red. But I am more than happy with it. It was my first 1/18 scale model!

Thanks srinjayray, I am a sucker for detailed things. I don't plan to buy scales frequently, because of the finances, but whenever I do I will buy the ones with good details.
