I was instantly happy with the level of quality of both the plastic and metal pieces. Right, here we go, into the frist collection of parts for the rear bumper. Issue 1 – Rear bumper, licence plate and right rear light I was looking forward to the road ahead as the issues and parts continue to arrive.Īs far as format goes, I thought I would break down each issue with a small description and photo of on what parts are in it and any other interesting info that tags along. Before opening any of the issues I could see that the parts were pretty well detailed. In this box was the first 5 issues, and a lot of parts for the 1:8 scale model. Once I signed up, I was not really sure what to expect, and one day a large box arrived at my door. As there are a lot of issues, I thought it best to break these build articles down into groups of 10 issues, which allows me to go over a few of them in detail and the parts that have been delivered with them. So I thought it would be pretty cool to document this build just like some of the other build projects we have on DriveLife. I would like one, but I can’t afford it and I don’t complain to them about how expensive they are. You may want it, and you may think it’s expensive, but so are Lamborghinis. But like any business that’s selling a product for a profit, you don’t have to buy it if you don’t want too. Yes there are 130 issues, yes it will take over 2 years, and yes it does cost a bit. After seeing the advert to build a 1:8 scale version of the Back to the Future Delorean from My Collectables, I said ‘that’s for me’.īefore we go too far, let’s get the critics and haters out of the way.
I have been a car and movie geek for as long as I can remember and for over the last 20 years I have been collecting 1:19 scale diecast models with over 70 model cars in my collection.
