Or a Kraftwerk robot.

A little bit of this and that:
First three vintage Tamtechs. These are really cool, and I've had two of them running. The Testarossa is like new, the two other are used, a lot.



And then some F1s. None of these are among my favourites , but two of them are needed to complete the first 100

the testarossa is my first tamtech. Médium chassis. The 961 and the countach are short chassis and the "le mans " are long ones. I am on a 961 deal but my friend don't know the price which he could sell it. I am à fan of tamtech.

Now from the "really old Tamiya shelf"
Please excuse the dust...
First a restored CS chassis, ready for a Countach body. I have the body as well, just haven't got around to doing it.



Then a restored 936/Countach (non CS) chassis. This one I made for the Porsche 908 body set, which I also have not done yet...



Finally another CS chassis which I don't have any plans for just now. Probably one I got for spares.

Then some gems; these two Porsche 934s.
Both bodies are quite good, one taken more apart than the other.

The chassis on the first picture is mint, disregard the dust.
The second chassis is good, but not complete.

Then three Golf/Renault chassis, with NIP body sets.
Bought many years ago at insane prices, now everyone can pick these bodies up for much less... I don't mind, mine are vintage, re-res are not

And finally, from the man cave, in built state, the Celica Gr.B.
As a kid I built the 1/24 static version of this and I loved it. I have ever since wanted the RC version, because of the good memories and the radical look of this Schnitzer built Celica.

Body set is original under restoration, but the chrome pieces was bad. I picked up one re-re body set where the chrome bits are no longer chromed, but I sent the sprue to my good friend Loaded and he got them professionally "chrome plated". They now look and feel original.

Chassis is restored and just waiting for the body...

I just had to take a family photo of the restored collection so far.
It also gave me the opportunity to dust the shelves in the cabinet.
Still 31 to go before the first 100 are completed.

OHHHH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
IMPRESSIVE collection Boss.
You have some rarest pieces but miss some of most populars (clod buster, lunchy).
I am really a small player in the collection.
That's awesome. I hope to can a day make a so nice picture.
TOO nice Lars.

I have a couple of Clods and a Lunchy, but they are not restored yet
