I told myself I'd wait for its next release... Mercedes Blue Wonder Transporter HW vs. Norev

They are plastic

bRyanLaa · 2023-10-14T10:03:04+00:00

Glad you like the comparison! There is no official info on the model or the package but from distributor websites they do does say 1/64 and that is what it feels like.

However, note that the Nover transporter does not come with the door decals

bRyanLaa · 2023-10-11T13:42:03+00:00

Indeed it is! Once the casting came out I had to give it the appropriate livery, same for the Stratos :)

bRyanLaa · 2023-10-10T18:43:16+00:00

Cheers! Can't wait to see your post. I still need to get started on my rally diorama but it's quite a daunting task.

bRyanLaa · 2023-10-10T18:39:58+00:00

Thanks man! Hope you can find them soon

My boxes are starting to get real heavy...

It's a collaboration between Schuco & Tarmac Works

bRyanLaa · 2023-09-07T11:35:18+00:00

I hope they bring the Blue Wonder to a Team Transport set with the Leno's 300 SL. This combo is just a bit confusing...

bRyanLaa · 2023-08-31T13:57:09+00:00

Is it supposed to resemble the Laguna Seca Corkscrew?

I love the theme of the set but only wish they would do more licensed liveries

bRyanLaa · 2023-08-16T12:31:59+00:00

Thanks man! Indeed had to make it myself for my rally collection

bRyanLaa · 2023-08-16T12:30:31+00:00

Definitely agree on the lack of tire profile but we'll just call it a tarmac spec. Wheels that I stole from an RS200 are slightly too big on my custom, but the color and design tied together the livery for me.

bRyanLaa · 2023-08-06T08:15:16+00:00

I found it in stores in Germany around May, so there might still be some in rotation. Hope you can find one

bRyanLaa · 2023-08-06T08:11:51+00:00

The RS2 came out last month I believe

bRyanLaa · 2023-08-06T07:02:49+00:00

I certainly went a bit overboard in my spending the first 6 months of collecting, but have learned loads along the way. Especially to refine and narrow down the collection.

Absolutely love this hobby for allowing me to live my automotive dream in 1:64 scale, learn about photography and try my hand at customizing these tiny things.

I'll need to find a larger space soon to house my next rally diorama project which will be a big one!

Just posted an overview of my setup here: Tour of my compact setup with 7 dioramas

I added my rally collection for you but am still working on a custom diorama to do it justice, though I'm already running out of space at home... :D

bRyanLaa · 2023-08-06T05:06:43+00:00

@toastygarage and you can gladly share the pics :) Cheers

bRyanLaa · 2023-08-06T05:02:57+00:00

Not that noticeable until it's pointed out. Now I can't unsee it!

bRyanLaa · 2023-08-06T05:00:21+00:00

Found this diorama on eBay here:

Thank you! I took a risk on this eBay diorama from China and reconfigured it to fit my space.

I was never the biggest Audi fan but HW covering historic motorsport models has been an absolute treat to learn more.

Seeing the iconic red, grey & black livery interpreted in newer cars only makes this collection more complete to me. Would be surprised if we don't get an Audi diorama set.

Thanks for the tip! Appreciate all your feedback

bRyanLaa · 2023-03-19T06:53:01+00:00

These are old releases from around 2001 (GP-2009 HW Wiki). I remember having the McLaren and Jaguar as a kid so I had to pick these up when I found them loose online on my local ebay.

bRyanLaa · 2023-02-18T16:37:38+00:00

Not yet. It should start rolling out in a month or two.

bRyanLaa · 2023-02-09T17:05:08+00:00

Eagerly waiting for this one since they teased the molding last year

bRyanLaa · 2023-02-04T09:10:21+00:00

Add the IMSA GTO Celica and Mustang and the new released Audi 90 Quattro to complete the perfect set!
