Thanks a lot, Christian, for this report! I just wish I was there this year… Next time, I hope…

[mstar]

Wow, there are so many absolutely fantastic models.

[nico873]

thank's for your pictures Christian

Thanks for informations and pictures , Christian .
You are very lucky to have seen the master of HTM : Aston Martin Zagatto .
And what is the new model of United Color ?
Thanks again .

[Albert]

Thanks for the pictures Christian, what a wonderful models!

[skunk]

Thanks Christian! Do you know what the square, clunky van in the first picture of Hartmut Zacher's is? A Rocar?

So much incredible work. Holger Hanke's Messerschmitt is just too cool, and those Ritmos are devislishly good.

Thanks for the pictures, Christian, a very good overview in my opinion.
I totally agree on the High Tech model, even though I am not really taken by the original, the model is absolutely breathtaking, even as a pre-assembled prototype.

United Collectors did not have show a completly new model, but the Buick Riviera is avalable again but now in two versions, the '71 model as before but also the '72 facelift.

The white van is a Renault Master, a re-cast of the old M.A.R.C. model.
If you're looking for a Rocar, Wespe has one:

Wasn't it the other way around?

I neglected to mention that the Aston Martin wasn't the only prototype that I saw. Peter's little box of castings was pretty amazing as well! You are in for a few nice surprises if you like interesting cars.

And, as I always do, I'd like to recommend this meeting to everyone here. Think about coming in 2011, even if it would be a long trip. Don't get me wrong, the exhibition is not that big and certainly wouldn't be worth an intercontinental flight, but you could combine it with a vacation and spend the entire Saturday at the meeting without getting bored.

That could well be. I don't really recall all the changes made and I'm also not an expert on the topic of American cars.

I also have a box of boring car models, I just didn't take that with me to save space. This just for the ones who worry after Christians statement.

[Christian]

Yes, sorry to all fans of boring cars. Didn't mean to exclude you!

That would be me... I love boring cars.

I know United Collectors are a bit hard to get in touch with, would the mo87 board be the best way?
