cool expensive toy...
 

have you guys seen this?! http://www.autoartmodels.com/web/pro...777A99C44F00F5

cosmo sport diecast by autoart!! comes in white, red, and silver. it's over $100, but autoart makes pretty high quality diecasts, and i bet this'll go off production or something in a while. makes me weak at the knees...

Autoart makes great diecast replicas, I have the RX-8 from Autoart, the detail is amazing , from the rotary to the underside of the car. The interior detail is spot on! There models are pricey , but when you see how much detail they put into there model , you understand why. I paid $90 for my RX-8.

I am looking to buy the 787B , currently its sold out. The detail on that car is impeccable! So impeccable it cost 180 bucks! :Eyecrazy:

cosmo are so sexy

I may have to pick that one up. I've got the 787B.

Really?! You have the 787B Auto Art model with the renown orange and green paint scheme?

I know Mini champs makes a very detailed 1:64 scale version of the 787B, to small IMO and just as expensive as a AutoArt 1:18 scale model.

Did you know AutoArt won a award for making the 787B replica, it had that much detail like the real one. I have got to get that model before they phase them out....:banghead:

P.S...that Cosmo is a good looking model.

HPI makes some bad ass 787b's as well :)

Along with several other insane cars, they're 1/43 though.

I hate toys that you cannot play with.

Yep that's the one I've got. Beautiful piece. I actually have over 40 1/18th scale model cars but am about to get rid of half of them. Many of them I just have no interest in. I'm keeping all of my rotaries and select other cars such as the McLarens, some Ferraris, a couple of Mercedes (including the 4 rotor C111), and others.

bah no `05 shinka. ;p

suprised they have it. this what i want

Yeah I have the AUTOart R34 Z-TUNE and the 1:18 model is fantastic. Every detail of the real thing and the wheel even turns the wheels lol

Oooh only $600 for the 1:12 Veyron...

Actually speaking of models I got this bad boy for Christmas, I haven't started it yet as it's going to be epic, I'll probably document it in a thread or something as it will be something I plan on taking a lot of time on and really going nuts with the details, it's a 1/12th scale Porsche 935 :) I originally had started one as a child and it got destroyed when we moved here from Europe back in the 70's, I can't wait to finally get to finish it as it has bugged me forever that I never got to see the original one done.

Wow, thats so cool.:)

Slant noses are sweet, Ill always have a soft spot for them.

Autoart has just about every car that was popular in some way. Is that a Lotus or a Chapperal? Beautiful none the less...

I am really bummed about the AutoArt ALMS cars, there closed body pieces, so no detail on the motor, I am assuming for private reasons due to the race teams request.

The Aston Martin DB9 race car and the Compuserve C6R Corvettes are gorgeous pieces.
