i voted on nosliw2004...cause is the most detailed of the show...and also because the perfection of the model...

the M6 is great too, mine is arriving this friday...but the color is Interlagos Blue =)...same as M6 from 2.0 Hdi...thats arrived yesterday!!!

the rest of teh cars,...loved the maisto maserati...big details in a maisto...wow =D

I don't understand point of DOM contest just to show regular stock model?
What is so ENTERESTING about to look at the stock model,we can go on the web sight or google to look at them.
sory ef i m beeing desrespectfool:smokin:

its a contest 2 see who can afford a autoArt or Kyosho model .... lol jp its to see peoples taste in cars ... also picture skills ... i think =)

@dubs. its just like featuring some items... so we at the diecast forum.. has an idea.. w/c model to buy next...

:)

thanks legolas! not necessarily who can afford the most $ car. look at aa's $100 s-class (yes im bringing that up agian!) a $50 kyosho would probably look better or something like that. well this is still the pilot so we'll see.
@rasta lol yeah you did have that sig ready for today!
@quick nick dude your car isn't stock. i see those ford mustang cobra svt r rims on it!
@hobbes i think the rear window of your vette is starting to come off.

are you serious, im really sorry, bought from a friend, i dident kno he customized it ... sry again!

EDIT: JUST CHECKED IT OUT AND THERE ARE COBRAS ON THE RIMS, SRY AGAIN!

so like do we take his car to motm or what?

Yes Take It Out Once Again Im Sry, Ill Make Sure To Get A Stock 1 Next Time!!

i think...the deadline for both categories has ended..

maybe.. that car can be added on march.

:)

Yeah, that's completely my fault. I'll take it off. Hopefully I won't have to make another thread...

no votes for me yet... =(

Well, model wise of course nosliw's CMC is the best model, but picture wise... I'll have to say both Legolas and 2.0 hdi portugal have the best pics....

i will have to say nosliw got my vote, that model is flawless!!

diecastfan84, thnks for the coment... =)

and to who voted in me, many thnks =)

That CMC Mercedes was also $200 and is practically a real car. Its not even a comp between us and Nosliw.

Anyways. I have 3 votes! one of them was mine =)

@g35 welcome back! lol you voted for yourself, so did i! well nice of you to say all of that but look at the vote count. 5 for me and 6 for rasta.

Oh And By The Way Did I Mention The Slr Has Real Leather Inteiror A Removable Trunk Floormat And The Gas Cap Opens. You Can See The Opened Gas Cap In One Of My Pics. (the Rear 3/4 Picture)

Well, model wise of course nosliw's CMC is the best model, but picture wise... I'll have to say both Legolas and 2.0 hdi portugal have the best pics....


Tks :)

Yes its true a 50$ car vs 200$ loool

well vote in ourself...? i dont like that...LOLOL...

ok now for real...in portuguese comps, we cant vote in ourself...

my M5 has also leather interior, real aluminium discbrakes, carpet in all around... =)

Here's some description of my ENTRY.

-Beautifully crafted 1938 Cadillac V-16 Presidential Limo.

-Great replica in scale.

-This is a very highly detailed 1938 Cadillac V-16 Presidential Limo

-This Limo was used by Franklin Roosevelt during the World War II.

-You will find the first Cell Phone in this car.

-Every details are well put together.

-Great collectible.

-One of the best showcase model for any auto enthusiasts.

I think all the contestants should post little description about their entry, like over all scale of the model if close to the real model, little history about it, any special about the model, and price if still remember. So when we vote the model, not simply pick them by quality of the model.

Ok, well my 1:18 Autoart Lexus GS430 was $70 off www.speednation.com I got it for christmas.

It has thick carpet all around, the engine is extremely detailed. The wheels look real, and it has a beautifully crafted dashboard.

@g35 just rub it in my face that your lexus is nicer than my s550! lol
@tsxer thank you. i actully sent info on my car in my pm but hobbes didn't put it up so yeah. but i think he'll make us post info on our cars next month. or if you don't it's just your lost.
@legolas dude your car doesn't have real leahter?

@g35 didn't you say your future first car was the sentra se-r?
anyways lol it's so funny how you rave about how good my car is but your kicking my ass 9-5!
no edit *edit* funny how you're raving about my car but rasta is beeting me 9-5!

@legolas dude your car doesn't have real leahter?

it has...the seats are soft as the real one...:wink:

I have a list of future first cars lol. The Maxima is the one i want the most lol

^^^^^^^
Whatever... You'll be lucky enough to get a 90's Nissan Sentra... :p


tsxer.ca: As I have mentioned earlier, this is a pilot episode so I'm working to make it happen next month. In fact, not everyone who sent in their entries did not give a description and at that time I didn't have the time to write them all out myself. :)

nosliw2004: Yeah, the Vette came out of the box like that. I'll try to fix it and probably a bit more. :)

did i mention that the hood has actual foil in it and wires everywhere. the visors work. actual metal vents and such. metal exhaust. rivets on the bottom. metal vents on the bottom. adjustable e-break. vote for me! ;)

lol..you ppl are taking this too personally...LOL...all getting around the votes... :P

for me... contest or no contest.. im still buying/modifying my cars...

its just all fun.. nothing serious..

lol rasta exact same thing you said in the other thread. rasta has a lot of votes.

thanks ... but i think... my cars are not that expensive...comparing some of the entries.

but my edge is... submitting an ENTRY w/c is different from the others...

i think thats a factor...

:)

your car is definatly different than the others. just wondering how much money did the limo cost? like in us dollars?

if u buy it there (U.S.).. its about 35$ to 40$ without shipping...

now its a different story buying it here...in ASIA...

the car is now "IMPORTED"... so roughly i bought it around 80$(estimate)..

:)

wow dude $80 is a lot! especially for 1/24

yeah right... consider this, if you are a collector of a DIECAST in a 3RD World country....

1 diecast is equals to a MONTHS salary here...
:)

Rasta has alot of money lol

Well, im not gonna win =(

We cant all be winners i suppose.

The range of our mdoels though is so different. There should be a theme to the DOTM. I mean. Im compairing my lexus to a $200 mercedes, a $40 Cadillac Limo and many others. Its just not very fair in some aspects. Of course Nosliw is gonna get alot of votes. his car is amazing.

We need a theme. Where we are all pretty similar. And if i dont have a car for that theme, i will go out and buy one.

its all work... no work no money.. lol

by the way..@hobbes made a thread already.. you can post your ideas there.

:)

I did =D

Anyways. My idea should be considered

that was hobbes's idea to begin with. look at the suggestion thread g35. anyways stop saying my car is so good. only 6 votes to 12. C'MON YOU GUYS VOTE FORE ME DID I MENTION THAT THE CAR HAS A FOOT DEEP PAINT JOB.

lol you probably did. I want a CMC, but they are too much.

urg still 12-6. no way i can win in one day!maybe i should get all of my friends to vote for me. lol. jk. actully maybe not. yeah acutlly jk. yeah.

Im gnna make 10 accounts and vote with each one

@g35 dude that's soooooo cheap! don't due it man.







lol jk i know u jk. i can sence that type of sarcasm.

Good, although i have really thought of it lol

Voting time is over and it seems like rasta_dubbed is the winner with his 1938 Cadillac V-16 Presidental limo! Congrats to you rasta! :cheers:


Don't forget to send in your ideas on the suggestion thread on how to improve on this. :)
