So cool. Aurora made both of those in HO slot cars, even down to the paint schemes.

I wish KJV had not mentioned spotmodel.com. Holy smokes.
edit: welp, as it turns out, I can't afford anything on that site anyway. I found a 50% of 1986 Toyota AE86 in racing livery for $24, but then shipping was $24 :-(

I know that feeling all too well. The, "... oh hey that's a great price that I can swing. Shipping is how much?
Oh. I guess I can't swing that after all." Although, I am somehow lulled into a greedy satisfaction when I readily pay $92 for a truck part with FREE SHIPPING versus (the same company) paying $75 plus $17 shipping. It is a strange phenomenon.

I just collect, don't modify, but here's some rally car inspiration:
Morris Mini, Pajero Evolution, 914 Safari, EVO, 911 Rally.
Bonus Mini, because of course you've gotta get the red one too

The builds arr getting more and more complicated, but the builders seem to need less of dad's help than ever
Lego Technic Lamborghini. Working steering with the rooftop knob, opening hood and doors.

Outstanding.
Splurged on this 911 Carrera
The 911 is gonna hafta wait cuz this just arrived. eBay find:
Could use color suggestions for both, cuz the box art isn’t doing it for me.
I would say guards red or India red for the Porsche.
And
Deep ocean blue metallic on the Nissan

I like the idea of taking inspiration from classic racing liveries for the Porsche. Not necessarily all the numbers and logos, just the paint and stripes. Gulf and Rothmans
So... in one of my recent "clean ups" I discovered I have some model kits I didn't even remember I had. The ones that come to mind are various Lamborghini Countach kits.
I'm never going to build them. Is there a decent forum/place/site to list them for sale other than FB Marketplace? eBay isn't an option anymore, though I did check tehre to see what they're sellign for. And then promptly forgot. Cuz I'm lazy that way.

@MattiThundrrr Oh! good ideas. I'm kinda Gulfed-out as of late, but the Rothmans, that's great. I'll see if I can find some Rothmans slide off decals.
(light bulb) ... isn't there a guy who builds patina-ish Porsches? He has a huge collection. Maybe he's an artist? oh oh oh, oh!!, or I could safari it!
went from no ideas to too many ideas quick. Rothmans safari?
