Bargain Basement Just Got Even Better!

You all love a good bargain and here at www.idmodels.ie we love clearing out stock, so we have a match made in heaven! In the bargain basement we generally sell items that are either end of line of we bought too much of! either way there is always great value.

  Was €69.95 Now €39.95!

To improve our Bargain basement and to ensure you don't miss out on 'That Great Bargain' we have set up a new section called 'Last Chance.' In this section we put the last remaining of a model or sometimes we find old models that have been sitting on a shelf on in a box for years that were not on the website.
We are selling these off at super cheap prices, if you see something you like we recommend you don't wait, discount models like this won't be around for long!


The selection is only small at the minute but new items will be added monthly.

KY9511G OUSIA KY9511G Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 Green 1/18 - KYOSHO BMW M3 Coupe (E92M) - Lagnaseca Blue 1/18

I have to say I am loving the Kyosho range of 1/18th at the moment, very good models for the price point.

We recently received the KY9511G  OUSIA KY9511G Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 - Green 1/18 into stock, I had to get the camera out. I would like to say it is for your benefit but I just wanted to have a proper look.

Even with my low level photography skills (and camera) it still shows the quality and finish, at€109.95 it's value for money .

 
Also in was the KY8734LBL BMW M3 Coupe (E92M) - Lagnaseca Blue 1/18   a bit more expensive than the Lamborghini but you get the detail. Beautiful carbon finish on the roof, and most important, opening doors, bonnet and boot, the Lamborghini is a sealed body.

 Thanks

TAMIYA POLYCARBONATE SPRAY PAINTS

TAMIYA POLYCARBONATE SPRAY PAINTS

Here at ID Models we can never have enough paints, if we go too long without a new stand/range of paints we begin to feel uncomfortable. So this week we received a new stand of Tamiya PS Polycarbonate paint, Whoo Hoo! 

These spray paints were especially developed for decorating transparent polycarbonate bodies used in R/C car modeling. Each can contains 100ml of paint, which is the appropriate amount for finishing the model. Paint the body from the inside, keeping the can about 30cm from the surface. After curing, apply another coat. Small details should be brush painted beforehand, using Tamiya bottle paints for polycarbonate. These paints are impervious to oil and fuels, so they can be safely used on gas-powered R/C bodies.

PLEASE NOTE PS PAINTS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR PLASTIC KITS.

ID Models - 10 Christmas gift Ideas for 2014

ID Models - 10 Christmas gift Ideas for 2014

ID Models - 10 Christmas gift Ideas for 2014

1. Gift Voucher

The ideal gift for the person who is impossible to buy for but always knows what they want! With an ID Models gift voucher you have no time limit on when you have to use it (a simple extension request will add another 12 months) it can be used on the website, in the warehouse or over the phone. Vouchers start at only €10.00.

2. Motormax

Motormax is our best value range of 1/18 and 1/24 diecast models. They start at €14.95 and go up to €34.95. The American Classics are the most popular; each model has opening doors and bonnet, lots of chrome parts and a display base. If American classics are not your thing Motormax also do beautiful modern classics like the BMW M3 and Lamborghini Aventador.

3. MODEL KITS

For as long as I can remember a plastic model kit such as Airfix has been a hugely popular gift at Christmas. Even in this day and age of computers and technology there is still a place for the traditional style toys. Complete kits (including glue and paint) start at only €8.95. So if you are looking to keep anybody away form the TV or computer for a few hours over the holidays, a model kit is the perfect gift.

4. GEOWORLD

Geoworld are an educational range of paleontology and archaeology based toys that will amaze any young ‘wanna be’ Indiana Jones. The dig & discover range is the most popular, discover the treasures within the pyrite block, then learn about your discovery with the booklet provided.
There is a big range of products to choose form, weather your interest is Dinosaur bones or real fossils and gem stones, there always something to capture the imagination.
 

5. Nanoblock

The world’s smallest building blocks! With such tiny blocks you can build very detailed models, everything from the Taj Mahal to a  cute little frog. Either build and display the model or leave it up to your imagination and build anything you want, there are lots of ideas on Youtube of things to build.

6. METAL EARTH

By far the best new product for ID Models in 2014, the detail and accuracy in each model has to be seen to be believed. Whether you want to build a windmill or a star wars AT-AT there are plenty of different items to choose from. I recommend starting off with something simple (single sheet model like the Eifel tower) and build up to Capitol Hill or Sydney Opera House. There is no gluing or soldering, we recommend a tweezers to make it easier.
Once finished Metal Earth models make really spectucalar display pieces. We recommend 12+ but anybody can build them with a bit of help.

 

7. TAMIYA RC

New to us this year is the Tamiya RC Range, a cut above what we have done before but still great for anybody who is getting in RC or RC racing. Buy the Combo deals to ensure that you have everything you need to start racing. Have a look at our previous Blog post on ‘What’s in the box’ to get a better idea of what is involved in building an RC Kit.

8. CMC DIECAST

CMC are the ultimate collectable display model, each model is had built and can contain up to 1500 individual pieces. They make the perfect gift for the person who is impossible to buy for but would appreciate the detail and engineering that goes into building one of these beautiful collectors’ items.

9. TRONICO

Tronico are a range of construction, farm and aviation metal kits that bold together (very like meccano) to create either beautiful display models or in the casr of the RC kits something to play with! Each model comes with all the tools needed and with new improved colour coded instructions building one of these is challaging but a great pleasure.

10. TV AND FILM

We all have a favourite TV show or movie that we have watched a hundred times but still look forward to seeing it again, with our range of TV & Movie models you can now have a permanent reminder of that show or Movie. Browse or TV & Film section to see if there is anything that would suit, the A-Team and Ghostbusters are still the most popular.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX - TAMIYA MIDNIGHT PUMPKIN RC KIT

After years of dabbling in the lower end RC (mainly kid’s models) we have  decided to make a return to Tamiya Rc Kits and Pre-built RC Models. This is very nostalgic for me as I remember as a 16  year old kid selling these in The Model Motor shop in stillorgan shopping centre, that was over 20 years ago!

We received our first shipment of RC Kits and Pre-Built this week, all are up on the website. Tamiya RC is one of the most reliable and robust RC models on the market  but in the event of a breakage, all spares are available to keep you up an running.

To give you an idea of what is involved in building a Kit I thought I'd do a 'What's In The Box" with the very lovely Midnight Pumpkin.

It may look a little complicated but tamiya produce some of the best assembly instructions on the market. Most kits require paint but this kit is pre-finished in a lovely black/chrome, all you need to do is apply the decals.


To match the stunning looking body you have a super strong chassis, built to last.


After you are finished oodling the chrome body your attention will be drawn to the massive, soft monster tyres, these guarantee great off-road fun


There are lots of nuts/bolts/screws but the instructions ensure that A. they will all be out in the correct place and B. you will not be left with a pile of let over pieces wondering where the hell I went wrong!


Finally, If you want everything you need (except the 8aa batteries for the transmitter) I highly recommend buying from the Combo Deals section, they include everything you need to start racing.
