Model Car Showroom And Other Things We Love

[Boddney]

I've started a model showroom in 1:18 scale of cars I own. I have a model LS460 coming for Christmas even though I don't own one---------yet!!!

Anyone else got any models?

Pictures

Thanks

Nice.

Perhaps a picture zoomed out a bit to see more of the display?

looks nice - I have always noticed the models for sale but the really good deatiled ones with opening doors and bonnet are too pricey for me

Just one, a classic Mercedes..

I always look for the bargains. I paid £45 for the GS which is an AUTOart and the LS that's coming was only £24 coming from France. This one is a Norev. Both are very detailed with opening doors, boots and bonnets. The RRP prices are outrageous . 

Pictures of the LS that's coming on a sleigh .

Just one more to see and a space for the LS

HiFi separates a rarity today, I thought I was on my own.

[Boddney]

Just me and you then fella. I love my music and just can't bare it through crappy blue tooth things or through hardware that's designed for movies or stuff like that.

[steveledzep]

I'll join you guys with HiFi separates if I may.  Turntable and records too !

[steveledzep]

This is mine......show me yours !!

 

 

[Boddney]

Cool, is that a Gretsch Hollow Body on the wall there?

It looks the same as mine.

 

[steveledzep]

No, it's an Ibanez solid body.

 

I fancy a Gretsch hollow though.....but not in pink .   Aspen green for me.

[Bluesman]

Rock a Billy Gretsch.

[jabowsi]

Don't get me onto guitars and hifi separates!

[Bluesman]

Or me I have dozens and dozens of them and I have a PRS.

Lol, it's not really pink. It is in fact a deep red but the the combination of s**t light and c**p camera on my kindle fire makes it look pink. (He said all defensively lol)

Get off with you..........It's a re-badged "Daisy Rock "    The deep red is lovely on the Gretsch.

[Boddney]

Ok time for a retake on a proper camera to re enforce my manly credentials and a better shot of the showroom.

Yes. The wife and I love our Rock a Billy and Rock'n'Roll music and dancing. Here we are look.

[steveledzep]

Notice the shoes match the Gretsch. .  Nice one !

[Boddney]

HAHA, I never noticed that. Next time I play it I shall wear them just for you. 

[Shahpor]

Considering where this thread has gone, perhaps a change of thread heading is in order?

[Bluesman]

Boddney is the starter of the thread and he has allowed the thread to meander to where it is now.

I just thought you guys might prefer to talk about stereos and guitars instead

Speaking of which, I have no idea about guitars, but I have dabbled a little with stereos.  Nothing too serious, but I used to have a pair of Arcam Delta 60 (Bi-amped), a Micromega Stage 3 cd player with some TDL RTL3's.  Nothing fancy, but sounded good enough for the time. 

[Ceramicolive]

No guitars or stereo I'm afraid, just a few model cars. I have had the Corvette, Ferrari GTO and testarossa since I was a boy :)
