this post is done in fun only ... there is nothing wrong at all with horses ... as I said in another thread I might get one for my Mio :D


ok ... a horse is like sooooooooo medieval

I mean lets be honest ... how many "modern" girls are going to be impressed by a smelly old horse :roll:


to REALLY impress the modern girls you need something snazzy that goes REALLY fast :o :shock:

something like this :twisted:

Ferrari 312 PB ... 1/3 Scale Model

http://www.sportscardigest.com/car-prof ... ale-model/ ... the link has full details about the model and a video of the model

... as a side note ... EVERYTHING on this model is perfectly functional ... the steering, lights, brakes, even the engine really works and the exhaust has been tuned to sound exactly like a real race car

DROOL!!! Hazel actually wants a pink Rolls Royce. Has Ivan considered a motorcycle - more like a horse and perhaps a little easier to find.

what size/scale is your Hazel ?

as for a 1/3 scale motorcycle ... I havent been able to find any :( ... and I have been looking ... Mio in her black leather would look great riding a chopped Harley :D

it has been fun seeing what I can find to "accessorize" him ... and my Mio because she is larger than most of the 1/3 scale dolls in here

I started a separate thread for 1/3 and smaller scale flyable aircraft models

*rolling laughing* :lol: :lol: :lol:

yeah ..... there's no reins or stirrups on a race car :o :shock: .... and I dont think spurs or a riding crop would make it go any faster :lol:

LOL .... ok, that little idea sent me off on a search just to see how big a scale model Rolls I could find

I hope Hazel is small :?

the largest scale model Rolls I could find was 1/8 scale ........... and I hope you arent on a budget :shock:

Sherris demands a white convertable Jaguar.

Genet prefers something conservative and non-descript (better for doing survelance).

Ferron wants an SUV.

yeah they are :)

I dont quite know why ... but for some reason the car/motorcycle modelling world hasnt caught up to the rest of the areas ... it seems to be stuck in the 1/43 - 1/32 scale range for cars and 1/12 and smaller for motorcycles :evil:

I really would love to find a nice chopped Harley model in 1/3 scale for Mio ... in her black leather she would look HOT on it :D

LOL .... boy did I start something with this thread :o

I wish I could find links for all of the dolliehs that would like cars ... but as I said above ... that is the area of modelling that is the most barren for us

the only other large scale model car I found ... if I can find the link again ... was a 1/3 scale Ford model "T"


maybe it might be possible for a few doll forums to get together and start a petition that they could send to some of the car and motorcycle modelling companies to show them that there IS a demand for models in those scales
... or send the petition direct to the car companies ... because just as car shows and old/antique car rallies are good for brand name recognition ... large sized doll car shows and rallies (radio controlled cars) ... because I have no doubt the doll magazines would do feature stories on shows like that ... it could only benefit the car companies with increased brand recognition

I dont think Mio would mind crusing around in a Toyota Ceilica Supra ... candy apple red with black leather seats and red and black interior trim :D
........ or a Datsun 300Z 8-)
