Citroën Ami Super - otto models 1/18

Long time since I added something to my blog, honestly my Citroën scalemodel collection is only advancing slowly as I had some other projects to finance. Nevertheless I could not miss this Otto Model: The Citroën Ami 8 Super

As Otto grows older I think the quality of their work continues to improve. This model is a very good example. The boxing methods haven't changed since the beginning, but the models certainly did. I think the pictures will speek for themselves.

 

Ami 6 (Norev) vs Ami 8 (Otto)

I hoped you liked it as much as I do, there is still room for improvement, but they are heading in the right direction.

I made a picture of all my current Otto models. what do you think?

Citroën BX 16s - Otto 1/18

I just received the new Otto model, the Citroën BX 16s. 

It's different from the previous model in some manners.

first of all, the mirrors on the side of the car are different, the bumper/fog lights are different and it has another spoiler.

Apart from that the model is detailed just that little bit better as the previous models (which were great allready!).

It's a very nice model. I think the pictures will speak for themselves.

The first thing you will notice is the car is green. I though it was dark grey or black when I bought it. This color looks 10x better though!

Fully chromed DS 19 with red interior - Base Solido 1/18

Another one of my projects. I bought 4 Solido DS's.. I'm making something special from every one of them. After the DS sur Ballons, now a fully chromed with red interior one. hope you like it!

 

  

 

 

As you can see it's not perfect, but I'm learning with every model!

Citroën SM "gendarmerie" - Norev 1/18

This is a scalemodel I have been looking for quite some time. There are SM-scalemodels around in white, blue and beige... but this one was my favorite. unfortunately also the rarest one of the 4. Norev spared no effort to detail this model to the fullest and the result can be seen.

 

 

 

 

Citroën DS sur ballons

It has been a while since I last updated my blog, the reason is that I was working on a project. Just finished it after several attempts... You can judge the result by yourself, let me know what you think!

It's a 1/18th scale Citroën DS sur ballons. This is a replica of the car used to promote the Hydroactive suspension on the DS: It's like gliding, you won't feel the road.

I have seen other 1/18 DS sur Ballons, but mostly they had another paint-job and filled in the wheel arches. This one should be pretty accurate.
