Ahoy. New arrival for 2020.... but I still haven't broken my 2019 goal to end purchases of new 1/18 models. I was lucky to be able to trade up a 1/43 for this. I probably won't be purchasing any more models at this point... unless Almost Real produces something spectacularly bomb. A new habit I'm asking myself to get into now is to play only in Camera RAW and putting more attention to taking one perfect shot rather than stacking

This one... is a gem. It's discontinued, it's beautifully crafted, and hard to come by nowadays.

One of few, unsure what the numbers are on this one. This one did come in a red sleeve with an acrylic cover for once! No pics of that, because who really cares... on with the photos.





























This one was so special I even took it to random places in Europe.

Hah. The lighting didn't turn out spotless, but it sure looked that way in Photoshop!
This will likely be one of the last models I'll be purchasing in a long while. While I'm still keeping tabs on some of Almost Real's releases, they've yet to publish the Zonda Cinque Roadster, Huayra Roadster or even the Bentley Blower. The most probable road map moving forward is going through the stagnant backlog of custom model projects. Before we know it we'll be out of the winter season soon, and outdoor painting will become accessible again. Keep in touch.
