Have you guys seen the new pics in the New Model Showroom and in the Gallery Section.

the gtsr looks brilliant, even the glove box opens...I want to meet the man that can put the gtsr logo on the seats like that, he's got a very steady hand:D

Yeah ! :cool: ...there's some excellent pics of some great models in the gallery , must admit there's quite a few I wouldn't mind myself .;)

The gtsr does look great , not sure if I'll get one but I'm very tempted , I do like it .

do u think exoto will do a gulf gt40 aswell because they have the mould or only gmp has the rights or some thing and if so which one will be better

[Sultan]

Thanks for the Great Gallery !
Would love to get my greasy paws on some of those.

Exoto haven't actually done any MkI GT40s yet - they've all been MkIIs and MkIVs so far. The Gulf cars were all MkIs, and in my opinion the best looking of all of them. I wait with anticipation to see who brings a decent (ie not Jouef) Gulf MkI out in 1:18 first!

SVO, Did you look under the Gallery Section on the Biante Forum or click on my GT40 link in my signature???

Here is the link to the gallery I was yacking about.

The 1:12 GMP Gulf GT40 is a amazing car but Exoto do a Black 1:10 GT40 which I am yet to see in the flesh. I have only seen pics of it and it looks great.

I so hope this is an all-tampo effort. The last thing I want to see is decals on this baby...

Speaking of 956, just found this in the 'just added' - PORSCHE 956L 1983 LeMans 24hr - Laessig / Plankenhorn / Willson - BOSS livery,

I have been looking at some of the exoto Jag's I am am thinking I should start a new collection of these Lemans cars. Now looking at these cars it is getting more entising. Wonder if the wife would approve???

[Nick Short]

I doubt it, but you know you have to do it! The 956/962 came in so many fantastic liveries, and a row of them in your collection would be a highlight.

[Maximus]

More of a highlight than a line of 1:12 GT40's???
Or every XW/XY GT ever made by Biante???

[Nick Short]

It depends on your point of view, but I agree the GT40s would look quite special. In my opinion putting XYs next to 956s is like putting donkeys next to thoroughbreds - the Falcons look so clunky and clumsy in comparison.....and there aren't many XY liveries that look as hot as some of the Porsche ones; maybe they look more "home made" and less professional. But it is a different form of racing, from a different era, and I still love the old Aussie cars.

[Maximus]

XY GT's are my favourite cars or all time.

The LeMans Porsches look amazing and have really good detail. I am not sure about starting a new collection as I would be divorced before I would know it so I think I may have to just get 1 of them.

Any you can recommend or stay away from???

[Nick Short]

Well you could get the Brock one and persuade your other half that it fits with your collection - being an all-Aussie team it would be more acceptable than a German Rothmans-sponsored one. Having said that, the next Rothmans car will look stunning (although I doubt Australia will get the version with full decals), and when the Shell car or cars are released they will be spectacular.

Its been quite a while since there has been an update in the new model showroom. Is there any new models you can show us biante?

[Graeme]

For the moment, I would suggest you click on the 'Gallery' menu item and take a look at some of the images taken by Biante staff at the recent International Toy Fair at Nuremberg, Germany.

[215i]

Cheers Graeme, I saw those ones. Looks like some nice international models coming up but I forgot to mention Aussie cars though.
Thanks anyway.
