My fiance made me a 1:87 scale version of Minerva, my mini (this is named Minerva 2 - electric boogaloo).

He did a custom paint job and made me decals that match mine. he's going to add my license plate, and driving lights when I get mine. I may have him tint the windows too!!!

This is by far my favorite holiday gift!!!!!

 

Fantastic! It is great to see another MINI girl having a great holiday!
We exchanged fun MINI and Fraggle ( ) gifts too!

The personal details are FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

 

Awesome--someone must really love you! What a fantastic gift!

 

wow...and that's so small!!! excellent craftsmanship!

 

Looks really nice. I got a 1:6 scale MINI. It's huge!

 

I got an RC 1:6 scale MINI for my birthday and I got another one for Chismakwanzica.

This is the dogs playing with the first one. It is just a Red Cooper.


This is the second one. It has spinners and Lambo doors.

 

That kills me!!!!!!!!!!! *But I love the dogs more*!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The wife didnt know it had spinners. I said I didnt care. I am not a fan of spinners but it is cool on an RC car. Here is a Pic showing how big it is.


Yeah some where around the two foot mark.

 

With or without spinners---what fun!!!!!!! Unique MINI toys are great! I don't plan to put flames on my MINI but how great for a toy!!!!!!!!

 

Awesome. It's like micro machines, those things were sweet, not as sweet as hotwheels though. But seriously people it's CHRISMAKWANZAHANUKAH.

 

That was really cool of him. Modelers make great...uh...I better not!

 

not being particular or anything but isn't it Christmahanakwanzica?

 

Having a scale model of your MINI is really special. I have three (see gallery), but my MINI has a common color scheme and is of earlier styling, so lots of diecast was available initially. Nowadays, with so many models and options available, one has to work extra hard to get all your personal details right. Good job!!

 

thank you everyone for the nice words. I passes them onto james and he is flattered. He does train models - so he did know what he was doing. He has plans to reworks the wheels to be holeys (he is a perfectionist)

it is AWESOME to have a toy that matches my mini. I have an RC mini and another mini model (which I am going to attempt to turn into mine) - but this little one is so perfect.

Bumble78 - I LOVE YOUR dogs!!!! So cute!

With regards to how do you spell chrismakwanica - I guess I say tomato and you say tomato. I am just glad to see other people using it!!!!

Happy Holidays to everyone!
