Scale Model Aston Martin Cars

[azzron]

Hello
I'm new to this site so please forgive me if I am repeating something posted at an earlier date.
I am an avid collector of scale model Astons and am always on the lookout for new additions to my collection.
Please have a look at my site and enjoy it and if you happen to have a 1/43 scale Bulldog, get in touch right away.

Welcome Aaron

you sure have a lot of models already
but i see that you haven't added the DBS's from Spark, or their DB9 Zagato

[azzron]

Hi DJ Dirk
Thanks for the reply. Actually the DBS cars by Spark are both on Page 9 (top left and middle right) but I have never even heard of a DB9 Zagato. Do you mean DB7 Zagato? If so, then the green one is also on pages 9 (3rd down on the left) and the other colour (blue?) is on order.
Do you collect? I have a feeling you might just be a Ferrari fan?
Cheers
Aaron

Hey Aaron
yes my mistake, i mean DB7 Zagato, small typo ops:
i saw the LM cars from spark but missed the the DBS's

and yes i'm a Ferrari fan, but i'm a car fanatic in general
and i'm also a collector yes, mostly Ferrari's ofcourse
and then it's LM cars, and some other race cars and then filled up with other cars that i just like

[azzron]

Hi DJ Dirk
Collecting LM cars means you must have a mighty big collection. Do you have a web page I could have a look at?
I have mostly collected Astons of all scales but am slowly selling all the non 1/43 scale so that I can increase my 1/43rd collection, that's originally why I posted this topic because I really want to get my hands on the Bulldog and the Virage based Lagonda 4 Door Saloon, both by provence Moulage I think.
If ever you seem them, please let me know.
Cheers
Aaron

[DJ Dirk]

not that big really

my 1st collection is still Ferrari, and i only buy those in handbuilds anymore
so that slows the buying down :lol:

and yes they are by Prouvance Moulage, but they have changed names to Provence Miniatures nowadays
here's a place that keeps up with them
http://www.raccoon-auto.com/

if i come accros them i'll let you know

[azzron]

Hi
I checked out the Raccoon site and they have some great stuff. Have you ever ordered anything from these guys? I'd like too but I can't understand a word on the site as it's all Japanese and I'm a little rusty in my Japanese these days.

Hello,
i'm glad i found this forum. I'm interested in collecting Aston Martin 1/43 scale models, but i have big problem with getting AM models in our country. Most collectors in Lithuania are interested in russian scale models. In Vilnius, we have only one shop, selling Schuco and Minichamps models. So my first dream is to get Spark's AM DBS V8 model. Maybe you can give me advice, where i can get best price for this model? Shipping costs to Lithuania also is very important issue.

Thanks for your answers.
Merry Christmas!

[DJ Dirk]

hey aaron
i haven't tried them myself, but i have heard that they are reliable

[DJ Dirk]

Welcome Dumaz

buy from Germany, basically the cheapest country to buy models in europe

i have used these guys http://www.modelissimo.de/ several times
never had a single problem with them

[dumaz]

Thank you for your answer DJ Dirk.
Prices for models are not bad at all, but shiping costs are very high i think...
In http://www.modelissimo.de the shipping costs to Lithuania are 26.00 EUR.

Welcome Dumaz
Living in the UK I get most of my models from;
http://www.grandprixmodels.co.uk/
Many come from eBay but also;
http://www.showcase-modelcars.com/
Do you have a web site with your collection on so we can see? Mine is at http://www.azzron.com/astonmartinlagondaindex.htm
Cheers
Aaron

[DJ Dirk]

it's €26 for anything you order, if you order 1 model or 10

Fabulous collection Aaron,

Particularly love the Zagato's DB4's & DB7's - But favourite have to be the DBR9's - Until the new DBS is launched of course...

Hi to Jurgen...Not seen or heard from you in a while, had no idea you were an Aston buff too ? No sign of books yet, mail me when you get chance ???
