There are a lot of 1/8 kits about in what is called 'part works'; de-agostini seems to be the most popular, but the cost by the time the model is finished often ends up being over £1000!
A few years ago, Ixo / Atlas edition was looking for people who wanted to buy a Volvo Amazon sport 1958 in scale 1: 8, so I submitted an expression of interest, but unfortunately there were too few who wanted to buy so there was no production of the model. Can you get the brochures / instructions in other languages, such as English or Swedish?
The model is great but waiting 2 years to complete it is insane. Imagine the company goes bankrupt or they just stop the production due to lack of interest by customers ? ( saw stuff like that happen here in the netherlands)
Damn, i really would do this as well.. But the price tag is keeping me away from it. Anyone knows where more of this stuff can be ordered, but cheaper?
i've never really understood either. but i assume that since a good 1/8 scale model can easily cost hundreds, splitting it into 24 smaller installments can make it easier to justify, and i suppose its something to look forward to once a month, ends up drawing you in, as once youve done say 6 months worth, you've sunk so much money in, that you feel like it'd be silly to pull out and stop. this is also why the body shell is one of the last bits to be sent, so you can't jst build an empty shell, paint the windows black and have a display model!
@@DustyShedGarage I can see spending a couple hundred bucks on your hobby. As a fish keeper, I get that. But I could never wait for two years to set up an aquarium a few pieces at a time. Oh well, I guess it'll make a decent series of videos. It's just going to take a while to see how it turns out. I don't plan on going anywhere.
I actually like your builds where you have to paint and detail them yourself. You really do great work. These subscription kits while impressive, take no skill to build.
I personally find these magazine builds drawn out and disinteresting and I personally would not watch them, although I do watch all your other videos of which I enjoy, if your buying each issue it could end up at £1000 or more, that could buy me a lot of kits for my stash that you of really would like to build in the future

Wow! That's going to look amazing once finished. I'd like to do something like this but I get the feeling it's cheaper to buy a real car! 😂
I am happy to watch the repainting of 1/43 models
Looking good!!!! 👍👍👍
This 205 reminds me a Rally Car, this kit’s a classic.
about time someone would do one of these, I've been wanting to see one being built! will be watching this progress! thanx!!
Build more partworks, it is awesome!
Awesome , thanks for sharing , looks great.
Would love to try to build one .
Friend excellent video the Building a 1/8th scale IXO Collections Peugeot 205 GTi Part 1, my respect from Venezuela.💯👍👊🤘💯💯
French Car, which had a lot of success in France in the 90s, I was a nervous car in gti
I have a model like this but its a Fiat 126p. I like how you did this and like to see more. Keep the good work👍👍.
I owned an actual one of these once, I am well in on this!
Does it worth 1200 euros?. It looks awesome, and I have no idea of prices, so to me 1200 is a lot of money.
Make it rc 😁
I did the 1:8 Shelby Mustang. Cost a bloody fortune. Doing the 1:2 Terminator now. Or should I say, will be when I have all the parts
Can you buy a full set from IXO or you have to wait month by month
Once the magazines are all out. Then the full set can be bought. Now only magazines 1 to 11 are available from the total 24
If i built one of these it would have to be painted sorrento green, i had a lovely 1.9 back in the day, not stupidly fast but so much fun to drive.
It would be nice to see it weatherd and dirty

True, but for ppl in the EU that will cost us even more! because of the Brexit.

Can you get the brochures / instructions in other languages, such as English or Swedish?
I think they have other versions online on their website. But can’t say for sure
Fantastic!.... Infact it's also wrong. The 205gti has steering wheel with 3 spokes not 2
Phase 1 gti’s had a 2 spoke so it’s correct.
You started to build a Shelby,where is it?
Painting room is being remodeled. So can’t paint. Will get back to it in a couple days
The model is great but waiting 2 years to complete it is insane.

Yeah, and if something happen like 2020 does, It could be 3 or more years project.
Need to get that 3d printer to create 1/8 scale wheels... Maybe
Deep dish ATS cups
Staggered BBS LMs
Oh. That sounds like a pretty good idea! We need someone to create a 3d file, and its possible
Damn, i really would do this as well.. But the price tag is keeping me away from it. Anyone knows where more of this stuff can be ordered, but cheaper?
down below :D
Do you plan some personal upgrades ?
I discussed this in the video ;)
@@TheScalemodelingChannel ah ok, i watch the video without sound, I had to watch it another time ;)
Make sure you use a good screwdriver. Those in the box are crap and go bad quick. I recently made a 1/8 Porsche 911 Carrera RS from Deagostini.
I just found a second hand real live peugeot 205 for €795.. that's cheaper than the model
Only thing i say maybe could be added is lighting
Two years waiting on parts? I don't get it. What makes it worth the wait?
Nothing. It just makes the insane price tag easier to swallow and will most likely trap you with the good ol' sunk cost fallacy

👍👍👍
So this will cost about €1200 or so yes? Holy smokes! Are they taking the piss?
How come no one ever did this in 24th scale?
You could change the wheels
Can you maybe build the new Porsche 911 singer from Alpha Models in the near future?
I can, and will
This scale is a bit heavy (weight) when i look at it .
At a total cost of £1276, there is no way I would be buying one of these.
I personally won't order something like that because getting parts every month would definitely test my patience...
A deostine relative
Correct. IXO produces a lot of the models for Deagostine
I actually like your builds where you have to paint and detail them yourself. You really do great work. These subscription kits while impressive, take no skill to build.
But, are you french??!!
Uh. No... do i have to be french?
@@TheScalemodelingChannel no but the book is in french so i just ask
