Nice pair of GT40's. I have both of them as well and can attest to their stunning detail and immense presence given their size.
Definitely collection centerpieces.

I wish Exoto would have turned out a Porsche 917 in this scale with this level of detail.
Hi Tony54,Yes it's a shame the way the world has changed in diecast terms,the price to make these now are out of reach for the majority of us.Quite a few years ago they were showing 1/10 models that were going to come out and i for one had that wow moment,then THE CHANGE.Just to see one in the flesh takes you a step back.Like i said in other threads these are future works of art and we can enjoy them now before they get restored or to be seen in a museum.Thanks,Darren.
 
These are fantastic? A rare duo of 1/12 Mclaren F1's.The magenta red Mclaren F1 was a workers gift model to the 79 people who worked on the actual Mclaren F1.When the last one rolled out the workers were given one of these each as a thank you present.The minichamps box has no code because of this.The Yellow McLaren F1 was hand made from a workshop in japan and the run was 50,this is #46.Thanks, Darren.



































































 
These are the 1/12 scale Tamiya kits i made up over last winter.I thought i would put them together because of the film RUSH just coming out.The McLaren M23 and the Ferrari 312t4.Although i think the ferrari in the film is a 312t2 i don't have that one.The Ferrari model has to have the most detailed engine i have seen in a kit,i was impressed.
