This was the first 1:43 I bought. It's made by IXO in 1:43 and a pretty inexpensive model. It's livery really caught my eyes and I just had to get it. Little did I know this would only be the beginning of my long slide down the 1:43 slope. :giggle

Got their b**t's kicked yesterday, though, didn't they? How about them C06's?
Come on, June!

Great pics Felix! :cheers If they ever make this one in 1/18, I will have to break my no-race car rule and pick one up.
Uh....yeah. :giggle Did you just love that duel between the Panoz (with R. Liddell) and Porsche (with T. Bernhard) in the final few laps of the race?! That was most awesome racing. :happy :happy<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Thanks Eddie. That 3-tone blue set against the white background is really cool. (My name still shows as "Felix" on my driver's licence :giggle :giggle )<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Thanks Al. This is one car that's worth having custom-made in 1:18. If I acquire some skills in making decals and painting one day, I'd probably get a MotorMax S7 or a Hot Wheels as my base.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
I suspect so too. :wink Thanks for your congrats Gian.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]

Thanks Souky. See an example of some cool 1:43 stuff you're missing out on? :giggle :tempted :giggle You're absolutely right about the natural light. Something tells me an overcast day might have been better to shoot in as the light would be a little more diffused. It seems a little "concentrated" in just one area of the car for each shot.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Here are a couple shots I took using halogen lights so you can see the difference. The colours seem a little more washed out.
wow, nice! I really like this model! Congrats, Felix/Jeff (which one is it? :lol)
The details look as good as, if not better, than Minichamps's. How much do IXO's usually run at?

If there's trouble going on, you may call me 'Jeff'. If you're writing a check to me, 'Felix' works better. :giggle<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
I picked this up on eBay from a US vendor for US$18. Shipping was only $6. (That's less than half the typical shipping cost from the US to Toronto for a 1:18 car.)
:iagree You would have to be superhuman to say 'no' to such a beautiful model.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Guess you are superhuman after all to take such great pics to compliment the car.
"Bump and Run" may work in Nascar, but a bit too aggressive for sports car racing. Glad to see the Panoz be competitive, GT2 was getting to be a Porsche parade, similar to the GT class in Grand Am racing.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
:tease
It was good to see Bernhard get black flagged for that eventhough it looked like its was a bad oops on his part and not a deliberate punt. Liddell got punted earlier that morning by Max Papis in the Caddy at the same turn earlier Sunday morning too. A repeat of that scene would have really sucked.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
Well, the price was right so I went for it. I don't know about being superhuman with the camera bit. :giggle You have no idea how many junkie shots I end up taking before getting one good one. All I can say is that I'm glad I don't have to pay for film developing!!! :lol :lol<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right]
That's a great looking Saleen. Blue on white cars always look good to me. Pics are up to your usual standards, of course.
Oops. . . :giggle My Bad. . . :giggle It's Felix, right? :giggle
