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....

Very nice.

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