Thought you guys might enjoy this
A fellow forum member from another board recently sold his highly modified Porsche and bought a Gallardo. His fiancee commissioned a 1:18 scale die-cast replica of his old car! This thing is absolutely insane!

Neat site - thanks. That model maker is talented... he does nice work. I love the old classics he did like the Red Baron and the Tijuana Taxi! Reminds me of the old plastic models we'd build as kids....

Amazing work. I am a modeler myself, but the guy that did that Porsche is a Master Modeler!

pretty cool. Would be even cooler if it had a functional 1:18 scale motor in there

Very nice.
Anyone have any idea how much a custom 1:18 diecast like this would run?
