Thanks Andy, my little obsession is coming along nicely dont you think?

Ed, thanks, seen it, on the to-do list

cheers,

Rob

 

[taxi]

Thanks Alan but.... only 50??

Thanks Gordo - your comments and suggestions are most welcome

I'm kinda hoping that Slot.It will produce at least one of the JGTC McLarens, hopefully the Yellow Corn livery. And I think the Ninco Murciélagos will be prime candidates for repaints when they arrive, don't you? I'd like to try the Taisan Viper but I'm struggling to find decent reference pics - any ideas?

cheers,

Rob

Andy and Gordo, like the idea of doing a couple of Boxsters but weren't the Cartrix ones all open cabrios? Someone used to do a nice (but v expensive) Boxster GT hardtop but they don't seem to be available any more and were out of my price range anyway. And I really, really don't like the Scaley ones, horrid little things. Great turn of phrase Andy, I'll have to remember that one!!

Aston Man, thanks, glad you like 'em. I have a SCX DBR9 sitting around doing nothing so it's only a matter of time I suppose...!!

slot-breizh, thanks for the kind words

The aerial is a bit clunky, it's a spare from a Scalextric 350Z. It's rubber so I can't break it but it is a little over-scale I think!

Gordo, you're gonna keep me busy for months!! Thanks for the Viper pics, very much appreciated. I like the blue/red combo - definitely one for the wish list! I like the Taisan Skyline too even though it's not a 'proper' JGTC car, and strangely enough I recently got a HPI Skyline... The M3 is tempting too - I just want 'em all!

Funny you should mention the Subaru. Andy (Pace1970) came to mine for an evening's racing last week and we were discussing the same car and racking our brains trying to think if anyone makes a 2-door 'mk2' Imprezza. The answer we came to was 'no' though I'd love to be proved wrong. Using a 4-door wouldn't be too bad but it would be nice to get the right base car if possible.

Ed, thanks for the info

Ray, it's all Gordo's fault!! Late in 2005 he posted some pics of some cars he and Iceman had been working on, including the black Murcielago. I bought decals from Iceman and posted pics of the finished car on SF in Feb 06. Started buying the Ninco and Scalextric JGTC cars as fast as I could afford 'em and then started making my own decals in May 07. And the madness continues....

cheers,

Rob

Thanks Matt, I'll keep a look out for those especially the hard top

cheers,

Rob

 

[taxi]

Yup, that was the one. I'll keep my eyes open for the Cartrix ones I think!!

cheers,

Rob

Thanks Monkfish, glad you like 'em.

No sign of over-JGTC'd-ness yet!

I like 'em because there's such a variety of cars and liveries, there always seems to be something else that catches my interest. Every now and then I'll do something different but I keep coming back to these.

There are a few fantasy liveries in the mix - the Zonda is a total fabrication. The Daishin Skyline is based on a Sylvia livery, but the two cars look similar enough to almost make it excusable. The real Top Secret Skyline and Supra are highly modified road cars, not racers. The purple AutoArt Porsche is a fantasy livery, very loosely based on a 90's JGTC car. The Aston never ran in those colours, the livery is based on a Porsche GT. The Ascari hasn't (yet?) competed in this series, the livery is borrowed from a Lexus SC430.

I think that's it!!

cheers,

Rob

Luc, your estimate was closer than mine! The purple Porsche was inspired by the 2001 Taisan/Sports Today car.

The Exige sounds interesting, we can hope can't we?

I'm hoping for Super GT Murcielagos too...

cheers,

Rob

I've updated the first posts to include the latest additions, the Funky's Porsche and Hitotsuyama DBR9.

The collection is reaching an interesting stage - the repaints are taking over! Currently 72 cars, 35 of them are repaints. Though there are two cars I'm not 100% happy with, the purple Porsche and the Zonda, so they might get repainted again or sold, not sure yet. I'm working on two more so then it'll be a 50/50 split, after that who knows...?

cheers,

Rob

Yeah, I think the Carrera R35 GTR is due later this year but there doesn't seem to be a definitive release date. Scalextric race GTR postponed until next year

cheers,

Rob

 

[taxi]

Hey Gordo, thanks for the link - lots there that I like

The R35 and Ford GT were about the only Scalextric cars that caught my interest - guess I won't be spending much money with them this year!!

cheers,

Rob

 

[taxi]

I've amended the first posts to include my two latest efforts, the Forum Engineering SC430 and WedsSport Ascari/Celica (Celicari? Aslica sounds a bit dodgy...!!)

My collection is now an even mix of standard cars and repaints - 37 of each

Obsessed? Me?

cheers,

Rob
