Now, I have an important question Dan.

Are you going to make a circle or an oval?

:D

Cheers J!

Naushad, I knew you'd say that :) a circle I think with 8 more cars unless I space them out for an oval! ;)

Impressive collection! Most cars are restored and not bought like that right?

About the formation... maybe you have to change it to an eternity symbol that just grows in scale :woot:

[j0pp3]

I also have a question that maybe you can answer. I can see that your Turbo Optima Mid is orange rather than yellow as it was on the box. A week ago I bought another Turbo Optima Mid in great shape and it was also orange like yours. Google images shows even more orange samples. Was it more common to skip the box art back in days or was it an alternative color in a Kyosho ad?

Cheers

Hi j0pp3 :)

Before I painted it I read through a few forums and general consensus was, seeing as the pactra original colours are no longer produced, people use Tamiya PS-19.

So that's what I did. In some pics of the box art it looks standard yellow but in others it has an orange tinge and when I take pics of my turbo mid with a flash it looks more yellow. I will be painting me 2nd one in a different lighter yellow mind.

Yes most are restored and painted by me :) with exception of the ZX, Triumph (from Nick on here) and super astute.

The Procat is being restored and the Intruder is new and needs painting.

Thanks for the info mate. Now I understand :)

Have you seen the NIB Turbo Mid SE on Ebay? My keyboard is wet from all the drooooling :D

Sweet man. You have really got a great collection in relatively short time :wub

If I were at all religious then I'd want heaven to look like this....unfortunately this isn't forever as this is a company provided house here in Muscat.....this is a small open alcove off the main bedroom...in other words it should be my bosses dressing room....oops!

This is a small part of it :) just need a mini fridge and it'll be perfection....the oil painting of Einstein was done by my late Grandfather who always took an active interest in my hobby.

Yeah, the "Completed listing" search feature on Ebay is awesome. Maybe save from now until christmas and buy something N.I.B again. I did that last year when I bought a Triumph. Not built yet... :)

Does anyone remember the Simpsons episode where Bart, Millhouse and Martin Prince all clubbed in to buy a rare old comic (because they couldn't afford it one their own)??

Well, perhaps we should do the same with that NIB Mid?!! We could keep it at my house, it's very safe where I live:)
