Die Cast Photo Contest

martieg · 05-02-2006, 05:20 AM

Post here the picture of your BMW E90 die cast model.

I'll be the judge (ha ha ha) and will select winner based on the following criteria: photo quality, scene set up, and of course, the quality of the scale model.

Also request posts include relevant info: die cast model scale (1/18, 1/24, 1/43. etc), model manufacturer and how to get (just in case we want one too).

Bring them on!

it's funny you start this thread after I had posted that Yoda prefers to drive BMWs in the Off-Topic thread. Since I had caught him pimpin' his new ride last night, I'll post my evidence here and see if this will win. By the way, what's the prize?

Yoda is truly a pimp. I mean, look at that pimp robe he's got on.

Yoda wants to take all his buddies with him, but at this moment, he's still trying to figure that out.

As I was taking pictures, Yoda sensed that (Jedi Force he claims), and so he invited me over to take pictures of his inline 6:

terra trim...

and rear with chrome exhaust tips... dayum!!

r3amir · 05-02-2006, 10:22 PM

Great pics

aphall · 05-03-2006, 12:01 AM

Actually... Yoda would like a Hartge front lip, ACS roof spoiler and and OEM deck spoiler.

... well, actually... that's my wish list.

Yoda is a Jedi Thug, he doesn't need no seat belt!

$29.99 +T&S but I will not recomended 1:43. Get 1:18 scale model - they have open doors, trank, moving weels.

Hula-Hula · 05-03-2006, 09:54 AM

hahaha yoda.. that was so great! Me & my buddy had a laugh!

aphall · 05-03-2006, 02:12 PM

ZuerstBMW: sweet! I'll PM ya.. As for Yoda's lack of a seat belt, he found an old seat belt clip to keep the car from chiming at him.
canucklion: blowing Yoda?!

E90330is: I paid $57 shipped off ebay from seller jmjmjj. Not sure if he has anymore. He told me he only had a black and a white one. They are made by Kyosho and mine's a 1:18 scale (same one's sold by BMW). It's pretty detailed, but what impresses me the most is that the seat belts are actual cloth material and the steering wheel turns the wheels.

There's going to be a trophy??? Hopefully it'll fit in the trunk.

E90330iS · 05-03-2006, 05:06 PM

cool thx for the replies.

aphall · 05-03-2006, 09:39 PM

My question is... where's lecatrache? The guy that started this thread in the beginning??

martieg · 05-04-2006, 03:14 PM

I'm here! I posted this thread to get people to showcase their die cast models. I have a black exterior / black interior 330i, but haven't seen a die cast model with that combination yet.

C'mon folks - keep posting your pictures.

aphall · 05-04-2006, 03:15 PM

yeah, I've got black on black too, but don't think it'll be coming out in model form.

GuillaumeSoete · 05-04-2006, 04:57 PM

I've got quite a collection... Here are a preview, I'll take more pics this weekend
