i kno lol,i do want models but atm kno were to store so dont want any.
i cant remember ur models but i do remember you got a good sellection.

wot are the models u want to get rid off?

 

Thats the problem,lack of space

 

The ones im looking to get rid of are 1:18 jada models,think there bit too much bling

 

Found this pic on the net of a 1/32 scale slot car.. not sure if the bonnet pins are scratch built but they add a lot of realism to the model..its hard to tell its such a small scale ! and would'nt it be nice if you could get a 1/18th scale driver figure like this ! (hate to put it on a scalextric track incase i scratched it !)

 

neah mate,only have 1/24 jada models,just for the wheels tho

i need to get myself another cabinet then can get the rest out the cupboard.

 

escortoldskool. did you use to have a diff username??

 

Nope ! only used this one on here ..

 

i duno mate but that does give the car a more detailed look, and is that meant to be tape on top of the windscreen??????
small scale (1/32), u wana see the detail i do on my (1/64s) i will have to post some pics of them mate over the next couple of days i do lights key holes and sometimes writing like badges.

 

oh ok,just thought as somet use to be similer but cant remember lol

 

I think the saloon car racers of old ! used to have metal strips to secure the windscreens in case they came away from the windscreen surround , before the days of silastic and silicone !

 

stig driving figure will be finished shortly , watch this space............

 

my wife keeps on at me to sell some of my collection i have modded , but the way i look at it i have paid 60-70 quid for a standard model so i can modify it to my own taste.
and as you have said many a time rapid once you have done 1 you dont really want to have to do it all again.
take a look at the bodykits we sell on ebay , reason we dont sell a lot has nothing to do with price it is all about the buyer having the ability to fit it correctly , if it was easy to modify everyone would do it.
i think us lot on here are hardcore modders who push the boundries on what it is possible to achieve with the models and that reflects in the price they sell for .
i honestly do beleive that some of the models on here would reach well in excess of Ł300.00 plus if sold to private collecters.
there is an ever increasing market for them and detail is the key.
ill shut up now.....lol

 

almost forgot to mention ,
larger real aluminium wheels now available from model motorvation , will get some pics up shortly .
we have made a few tweeks to the design as i wasnt happy with the bevel on the one's we originally were goint to put in to production so i have now gone with the same bevel we have on our rs 4 spokes and i think they look much better and more realistic.
the polished finnish is on an even par with the smaller wheels we do as anyone who has ours will know already.

 

dont shut up mate your right like the estate's, rs turbo's, s2's and rapid's sapphire they are the sort of one's that would probably fetch well over Ł150 and that sapp well if he get that looking really good well i wouldnt like to say how much he would get how much would u say??????

 

i reckon roys saff could easily break 200 quid if he sells it (or ever finishes it lazy bollocks joking mate )

 

couldnt put a price on it to be honest mate.
have said for a long time rapids stuff is the best i have seen and i dont think he will be topped on detail either , thats why we call him hawkeye as he will always let you know when something is not quite right but you try and find a detail out of place on his?????? you wont.....lol
i have a mate who has seen his pictures on here and he has said to me he would go to a fair amount of money for one of his models , didnt name anything specific rapid had done but would take any he had done .
the other factor is he will take on a hard job like the sapphire and pull it off .
this make that model the rarest of the rare hence the price it is worth goes up.

 

i think a lot more mate.
i sold 5 mk1 estates to a collecter in germany for Ł230.00 each and they are easy to do compared to the sapphire.others have done estates and van's now but i dont think you will see another sapphire anytime soon.
there is a massive amount of sapphire owners that would give there left bollock for one in 1/18 scale .
i think if he were to take it to a ford car show he would walk out of there with in excess of Ł300.00 easy.

 

yeah i like to see if i can do it so i do push myself,im never goin to do another s1,this is the 4th now,i like to make somet diff now,having said tha i just rememberd ive started a s1 pickup bastard lol
ive sold some models b4 & they have fetched a desent amount,at the end of the day tha makes me happy as shows some1 apreciates whats gone into them,as most of you kno a bloody lot lol but i could never put a price on any of my cars,i mite think ive over priced them for a start lol,they are worth what some1 wants to pay for them i think

 

escortnutter i need some wheels for my transit what ya got?

cheers

 

im a bit quiet as i dont have much to add to all this lol but i am reading everything

 

lmas off ,cheeky barstoll.ive got to many on the go

 

Can I buy a set of these please.

 

cheers steve,its comments like this that make me want to keep going,cheers mate
that nice to know that people not only on this forum like my models,i did'nt think about how others would want them
ah i havent finished tha saff yet so it may look shite

 

here's some new additions to model motorvation.
4 new inserts for the smaller aluminium wheels.

someone asked about 4 spoke revolutions earlier today , they will be available hopefully next week!

large size 5 spoke comp's

large size bbs

large size alpina's

there is another 5 designs aswell
including large size subaru , amg , hocknhiem ,vw ,and bmw m3.
will get the pics up tomorrow.

 

same, id sell mine happily if someone offered me what i reckon theyre worth but id never put a price on them, and i wouldnt ebay them cause id be gutted if they ended up going for buttons.
on the other hand seen a lot worse go for a fair bit

 

have a look below bud , also have the escort cosworth comps from a page or 2 back.

 

pm dave bud he has the stock on these .

 

ford fair here i come & be leaving with sum1's left bollock aswel tho
its mad that people would pay this amount,i didnt even think how much it would be worth,ive had a offer of sings on ebay for Ł130 as it is,he browsers this thread as a visitor,
told him nope lol

 

those wheels are awesome, im looking round my shelves now looking for cars to put them on, stop tempting me!
steve by the way do you reckon you could get those bits to me by the weekend? will be painting my impreza and would be nice to get the skyline done at the same time, no worries if not!

 

here's a few pics of the profile of the wheels showing the finish and bevel.
the best thing about these will be the price..........Ł1.50 dearer than our rs 4 spokes at Ł18.50 plus postage. will do them to you guys at Ł1.50 more than you pay for the rs 4 spokes on here.
if your not sure what we charge you guy's pm us.

 

wheels are stunning steve as always

 

its true mate.
i wont buy modded models as i prefer to make them myself like you and the others on here do , but i am also aware of what there worth in the open market as i have been building models to spec for a few private collecters , alancdavis on here was one of my first private customers and you will be amazed at what some will offer you without giving them a price.i say if your going to sell any of yours hold out for top money there worth it.

 

cheers mate,how did people find you to build there cars/replica's
i think dave(babs) wants me s1,bet he gone bed thinking bout it lol

 

started off doing the decals on ebay and had people ask if i could supply pictures of some of my work , so naturally you send them the pictures of the one off models you have done and they want them so been as you wont sell your ones you price them to build them one.....lol simple's
i listed 1 mk1 estate on ebay and it sold for Ł231.00 i think , i sent a secound chance offer to the next highest bidder on the understanding they would have to wait for it to be built and they come back with an order for 5.
as far as i know he gave three away to customers , 1 is in his collection and the other one is on display in his shop. he is the biggest retailer of classic ford parts in germany.
i still keep in touch with him as he speaks good english and is dead handy when i order bits from german ebay!!

 

i want a S1 but cant afford them prices lol just waiting for the boys to bring out their s1 kit

 

i want some of them wheels but got to wait til ive finished doing all my other bits first that ive ordered

 

good stuff mate,i good amount of money for the car,i bet you had them done in kno time lol.
very handy to kno sum1 that speaks the german lingo.

 

should be with you by then bud!

 

do these come on a size suitible for a minichamps sierra

any news on ths s1 body kits & turbo converstion

sort of 50% true there is another but its in its infancy with help and blessing of rapid (cheers mate) i an going down the same dangerous road though i doubt mine will ever be as good as rapids this is the version im aiming for so much help on decals will be neededd in the future (once i know it looks like a sapphire




now you know why i was asking if those 7 spokes were sierra sized! though ive just noticed to ones on the 1.43rd are 8 spokes is this correct??

also does anyone have an xr3 rear spoiler they would like to swap for an rs1600i one??

 

anytime matt,
