1:18 Diecast Grail Haul

[Jamesweighs]

YES! Finally found a 1:18 of this.

2006 24hr LeMans Cirtek (Team Modena) Aston Martin DBR9
From Solido. Wish AutoART would make one, but this'll do nicely.
Edit- new pics.

Very nice. The level of detail is amazing.

[Wardo30]

car is gorgeous!!!

[Jamesweighs]

Oh man, I'm stoked at the 07 version.

One of the cars I painted in Forza 2. I did the 07 1000km of Nurb livery instead of the 24hr race one.

Hooray for the paint editor!

[Verbal21]

nice haul. I know exactly how you feel:D Last month, I finally found the 1:18 Trueno from Initial D that I've been searching for for years. Makes me wanna start up Forza 2 again

[Jamesweighs]

No kidding. Not playing that one as much as I used to.

Loving GRID right now. Great in car view, full 2006 LeMans series in there with complete 24hr race as well.

[Jason62]

with the in car view in GRID i cant play Forza anymore lol.

beautiful haul and also a favorite car in grid.

[Jamesweighs]

I totally agree Jason. That really makes a racing game for me now. It's a must.

Can't wait for Race Pro, looks incredible.

How does the detail/quality compare to the AUTOarts?

[SoulRedeemer]

Simply gorgeous.

[Jamesweighs]

How does the detail/quality compare to the AUTOarts?

Proto, I'll let you know in a few days when I get both of them here and opened up.
But, reading on some other forums, and comparing some pics, these are pretty close. AA's are better in the little stuff (brakes, antenna, and smaller detail stuff), but these open up unlike the AA DBR9s.
General consensus I've read is that these are a great value for the price, and fit right in with a collection of AAs. They're a bit cheaper, but not that much.

Some pics from another board.

now THAT'S awesome(model wise)

[Irken_moose]

[Jamesweighs]

The 1:12 bikes are really detailed, you can take off the fairings and check out the engine.

Also had Rossi's 2006 Yamaha YZR-M1. But I sold it to upgrade to the 07 Fiat Yamahas soon.

Minichamps has some cool Rossi figures out now. They're diecast as well.

I really like these.

[human_anomaly]

I like the ones with the dudes on them, makes it look much cooler

[Jamesweighs]

Updated first post with pics. Got it in the mail on Friday.

Proto- these are damn nice quality, not quite AutoART, but close.

Hood clamps not seperate pieces like AA, and the antena is crappy- I'll be fixing that with guitar string wire. Detail inside is very nice. Great deal for the money.

This badboy might just have to be next.
