Retro!
I was browsing the web and came across some pages from my old website from 2001!
Here's an interesting comparison between Minichamps / Mattel back in 2000. Has anything changed??

And here's a page showing some tips for converting models to tobacco livery.

In the Exlcusive Series EX24 1/43 Ferrari F430 Scuderia and Ferrari F2007 new F1 2007 colour Ferrari Stand at the “Motor Show Bologna 2007” will be released in the next few months.

Part of my collection for sale.
If anyones interested I've put some of my 1/43 and 1/18 collection on ebay. I'm struggling for space at the moment so I've decided to concentrate solely on Ferrari / Schumacher models, so unfortunately all others have to go. Here's the link.

1/18 Hot Wheels Elite Schumacher F2001 Photos
From the photos of this prototype model Mattel seem to have made a number of improvements over their normal F2001 release. There looks to be improved detail in a number of areas -
* Front wing & front wing end fences.
* Thinner material used for aerials / barge boards
* Improved detail on camera mounts
* Improved detail on the wheel rims.
However there is one flaw - The winglet in front of the rear wheels is wrong. These look as if they are from the F2002 car - the winglets on F2001 shold be connected to car at 2 points. Lets hope the final released model has this fault corrected.
The car has a RRP of £89.99 in the UK and is limited to 5555pcs. Due June 2008
Click the photos to enlarge.
Also, the Minichamps Team Edition 1/18 McLaren MP4/22 of Fernando Alonso has been released. Here's a photo from eBay to prove it. Hamilton version expected min March. Regular Minichamps 1/18 McLarens penciled in for an April release.
