Got it from a mate of mine when i bought my RB - I think he got it from a guy who worked at Town & County in Aberdeen but not 100% sure.

I don't think they would be personally signed by burns/reid.

Got a couple of Autoart 1:18 scales.

and them having a race

Currently worth around £100 each

Signatures are on the base so probably a stencil or something?

Took the car off the base and it was made in Portugal by Trofeu.

Those Autoart ones are nice. Seen them cheap on ebay so think I'll be investing in some

Have to agree with you, the autoart models are stunning! That's all that I collect, the detail is amazing.

got a few more, but not photographed them yet.

[wulsey]

Wow loving that White Blobeye model.

[Big Gordon]

Some nice models there Neil. Been collecting 1/18 scale diecast for a couple of years. I've got around 80 at the mo

I've got about 156 1/18 models, most of them are back in their original boxes in the loft until our wee one is old enough to appreciate how delicate they are (probably about 21 then!). I was bored one day and made up an Excel spreadsheet on what i've got and what I paid for them - the Mrs wasn't happy when it added up to over £6K!

I've got 8 Subaru models, including a 22B, and I got a guy over in Belgium to make me a replica of my old road car. I've also got quite a few old Fords, approx. 13 Porsches, 5 Bentleys, 4 Audis, 5 BMW's etc.

On the Burns/Reid topic, I purchased an AutoArt 1/18 Peugeot 206 WRC car (Monte Carlo 2003) about 3 years ago & it cost me £33. The Mrs was dusting the other day and knocked it off the bookcase, wrecking it (i.e. way beyond Superglue repair). It took me ages to find another one on the net and I had to pay over £80.

I've got a few 1/18th stuff, including a 22B, a road RS Cosworth and RS500 race car, a RS200, a Mark I RS1600 Escort with the 4 Cibies, a DTM 2.5-16 Merc 190 Evo II, and a few other Mercs. I've got a collection of about 30-40 1/43 diecast in the loft, waithing for me to make a display case one day.

My biggest collection is my unbuilt plastic/resin/metal models. This started with me buying the usual Tamiya and Hasegawa high quality kits, and has now blown out of proportion. At a guess I have about 150-180 kits, mostly in the 1/24 variety, but quite a few 1/20, 1/16 and a nice collection of 1/12th with my wildest buy being a Porsche Martini 935 at around 95 quid and another 300 for the detailing kit for it. I don't bear to think what the whole lot has cost me, as anything I buy these days is generally something a bit different in resin, usually at the 80-120 mark.

My pride of place though is a built 1/24 kit that I got at an auction - a 2002 bugeye of Petter Solberg, built by a competition winning standard of modeller, then completed with a detailing kit. It was then sent to Prodrive, and apparently chased Petter across 2 WRC events before he personally signed the windscreen. It came with a cap signed by Petter, Stephane Sarrazin and someone else I think. When I get home from holiday, I'll put some pics up.

[Maxxed_Ross]

been looking at getting that one myself and modifying to look like my RB320, as it's already quite close

I'm not got many static kits, but I've got about 80 Tamiya RC cars, 6 of them (soon to be 7 as there's another in the post!) Imprezas.

but these two are my current favourites. An RB5 replica and a tribute to Colin McRae. The one in the post will be another Hawk Eye done up like my RB320

race ya

the wee black one does 0-60mph in under 2 secs, 960bhp (power to weight ratio)

[frank c]

Awww jeeez !!

Mr 4hero...why did you have to make me aware of Autoart.. now it's going to cost me a small fortune getting 1 or 2 lol

Oh... and i just checked out some of the prices

Must resist the RA........

box siad that did it?

Not just the box mate, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumacher_Fusion

[Maxxed_Ross]

ah, the Fusion... that explains that then!

Driven one once and it is a slightly mental bit of kit, verging on too quick for road use. I hit a tiny pebble and slid about 100 foot on it's roof

I had a Menace for a while, which has basically the same running gear but in a buggy chassis. Every time it changed gear it popped a monster wheelie!

I run this instead now, much more reiable and dare I say it more useable

[4Hero]

I know what you mean. I only had a tamiya electric jobbie. Went into Marionville Models, told the guy I wanted a fusion, he laughed and said "I presume you are very experienced with nitro cars?", "no" I said. He went on to say how you are supposed to build your way up to the fusion (I have no patience). He was very reluctant to sell it to me. Know I know why...

Took it home, built it up, went down the local industrial estate and within 10 minutes caused £60 worth of damage (wheels popped off, bent a few bits, etc..) Amazing fun though, may take it to crail one day

Nice wee collection you have there, your buggy looks awesome!
