Formula One Collection
-
I create this thread to share some of my F1 models with u guys... i started my diecast collection by purchasing my first ever f1 model last year... basically my f1 collection is made up from Hotwheels and Minichamps, and do feel free to post your F1 models here too!
as for the first f1 model to be posted here, i will upload some shots of this model - Michael Schumacher 66:66 all-time poles from Hotwheels. The model is a limited edition unit with 6666 available worldwide, some after-raced dirt and debris are applied and the "no.1" finger by Michael after the finishing as pole position in the qualifying session in Imola, San Marino.

its Hotwheels le... the quality of Hotwheels f1 models is lower if compared to another f1 model maker - Minichamps. however Hotwheels does produce quite a number of 1/18 limited edition units, especially on Michael Schumacher, while Minichamps focuses more on 1/43 scale models (Minichamps oso produces 1/18 scale f1 models as well). Other makers i heard got BBR and some super high quality hand made maker feature the 1/8 scale according to the actual f1 car...
btw, here is the link to the website from singapore too... www.f1.com.sg
but i dono where the shop is located le, from wat i see through the website, quite a lot of interesting models being sold there... -

Hotwheels F1 car quality is very lousy! Minichamps is much much more better. Just look at the hand of Micheal, it is so fat, they dont know how to produce hands. But the model is ok only.
-
The Minichamps f1.06 BMW sauber 1/18! See the quality of the car!
Minichamps Mp4 21 vs. mattel hotwheels Mp4 21

yea... the chrome effect from the Mclaren proves the difference between the manufacturers...
-
I feel that your hotwheels model is very nice, with the dirt effect somemore..
How much did u pay for it? -
thanks! i got for more than 400 using Ringgit Malaysia here, so very dearly if purchase in Malaysia here... btw, if ur interested in these limited editions from hotwheels, check out here http://www.f1.com.sg/
according to the website they still have stock for the schumacher limited edition models such as "Danke Schumi" and "M.Schumacher Shanghai GP 91st Win"... i think this is the website tat Piglet describe from the previous post ya... its called Motorsports Model Collectibles Pte Ltd... i think the two limited edition models are also in raced version de, which has some dirts and debris on the car as well... -
Jasonist, you have how many 1/18 F1 models?
BTW, for F1 fans , can check out www.f1.com.hk . They sell all F1 stuff too. I've been to the shop once , it is small and cramped with lots of stuff. -
i got quite a few but didnt count how many le... will post each of them in times to come... hey thanks for the link... yea the shop is packed with lots of f1 goodies... like a chinese saying "although the bird is small, it has complete internal organs!"
-
can we say although the car model is small, but it has complete interior?Originally posted by Jasonist:i got quite a few but didnt count how many le... will post each of them in times to come... hey thanks for the link... yea the shop is packed with lots of f1 goodies... like a chinese saying "although the bird is small, it has complete internal organs!" 
-
yea... nice one!
btw, here is my 2004 f1 model collection...
Ferrari F2004 of Rubens Barrichello (Hotwheels)
Red Bull Racing RB1 Showcar of David Coulthard (Minichamps)
BAR Honda 007 Showcar of Takuma Sato (Minichamps)
-
the 007 and Rb1 is from 2005.
-
yea... this i would need to do a little explanation here... coz both these models are 2005 "showcar" versions, meaning that they use 2004 chasis but put on 2005 liveries... so i treat them as 2004 models according to their chasis design...
-
next up - 1/18 Sauber Petronas C24 Showcar version of Jacques Villeneuve from Minichamps.
-
Why do you buy all showcars?
-
coz its the only available in my place here... btw, wat do u think between the difference of showcar and race car from Minichamps? any thoughts and views towards the difference???
izit the value difference or izit the anything???
