Does anyone have any ideas on where to get TVR scale models ??
Im paricularly interested in V8S, Griffith and Chimaera - I have checked the web and although I can find lots of models I can't find these in particular...not even 'old faithfull' EBAY has any.

Yeah, I just got a great little model of my Chim from the Mrs for my birthday, was ready built and painted but you can get a kit too!

I'll post some pics of it tomorrow if I remember!

FANTASTIC! Thanks mrb that is exactly what I had been flailing about looking for all morning (!)

Now I have to decide how to explain away £100+ spending on the three models I want to my other half!

That should be an interesting conversation (when the models arrive of course!)

No probs!

Get them built, they are really detailed for the size and good quality finish on a little wooden plinth.

Cheers

Trouble is my collection is in 1:18 scale. I wish Jadi or similar would take the plunge and build the older models. There are after all far more of these than Tuscans et al.

There was a guy at the Griff Growl this year looking for interest if he built a 1.18 griff in diacaste to whatever spec you want. Not cheap at over £150 approx he reckoned, but if the detail & quality are there.....!
However, I have not heard anything since, not a wisper!
