1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

Stripes and Solids, anyone?

If I could take all my unwanted HWs, put them in some kind of high-pressure compressing tool to squeeze compact dozens of cars into one dense ball, I'd totally make myself a billiards/pool/snooker set and auction it for good moolah to high-rollin' HW collectors.

edit: spent a good hour looking for locals that offer some kind of compacting service and videos on making my own kiln. I'll have to keep this on my backlog.

Del Prado 1/64
1952 Seagrave 70th Anniversary Series

This one also needed repairs. Here's the list and photos.

Jeez, they both look really excellent. I can sense an eBay purchase in my future.

To be released in August.

 

[RCKakashi14]

A well-deserved victory.

That crooked GT1 wing.

But dang. Good job on the Jager 935! I got myself one last month, even though I didn't intend on winning the bid

edit: here it is!












edit: Found another opportunity to get your hands on that 1/64 Kyosho Skyline KPGC110 Racing in metallic green. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kyosho-Bead...468?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a7e8bbdc

Clean indeed. Screw you Andy.

Screw me never. Please.

Wow, that Bluebird sure is sweet. Great stuff. 👍

 

[Cano]

Uck. Screw you twice, Andy.

Got a new position at work. Thinking it might be appropriate to have the Ram with the SRT tampos sitting on my new desk.

And got the van because I wanted to try out the flatbed trailer. Also, I do like the van.

Just found out Bburago 1:64 singles are out and about:

Damn... some mortal being bought the last 458 Speciale piece.

Ah, the RAM "Angry Bee" trailer, niceeee. From the Hitch & Tow series, that is my favorite trailer, just for the decals alone. The RAM truck isn't half bad either, of course. And I agree with you, the G20 is a neat-looking van, I dig those late '70's-1980's American vans. 👍

I'm not a fan of those rims, but the rest doesn't look half bad. And is there really a Speciale version of that? Hmm, I wouldn't mind having that either, yes... But does Bburago have a 1/64 F355, I wonder?

It's all about that Kyosho.

But does Bburago have a 1/64 F355, I wonder?

Once again, it's all about that Kyosho. If they really are using Kyosho's castings, I would just aim for the Kyosho since the casting quality is up there and the demand isn't very high.

Well, if you do want a Kyosho, there is an F355 GTS on sale in the store where I buy Kyoshos. Yellow, and it looks god damn sexy.


Problem? It's goddamn expensive for my taste. I'm poor right now.

So basically, Kyosho. You make it sound really simple, you lot. Problem is having acess to Kyoshos; not many stores sell them, unlike Bburagos which are super easy to find most of the time. And probably price issues, too. I'm not made of money either, you know. And if I want a Kyosho, I'll probably have to search online for one, really...

I searched online for 100% of my Kyoshos. You should be able to find F355 GTS models for about $7-9 USD.

Thanks for the info, I'll take that in mind when (and if) I get to buy a Kyosho. 👍

On a slightly different note, a curious Tomica popped up in ohiko2000's Youtube channel; it's a plastic Mazda RX-7, which apparently comes with an energy drink in Japan...



Not the greatest basic Tomica ever made, granted, but it's a curious little collector item if anything...

Those are way smaller than 1:64.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Those are way smaller than 1:64.

Is it? What size are we talking about here? Something around the 1/80 mark?

 

[RCKakashi14]

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Hmm... It isn't red (or a fixed-roof Berlinetta for that matter), but that'll do. It's nice and pretty, just like a real F355. Did any company deal with a different model and/or model year?

About 1/100 I'd say. They're called Capsule Tomica.

Bburago Ferrari Race & Play 1:64 - Ferrari 458 Spider

The Bad: Wheels look so budget, considering these cost 3 times more than an HW model (Philippine prices)


The Good: It's bolted on by screws instead of rivets. Wheel swaps are a piece of cake.

 

[Cano]

That is impossibly bad.

 

[RCKakashi14]

I saw the five-pack with the F50 in it. And there was one in display as well. By far, the F50 looks the best among the 1:64s. The LaFerrari is an utter joke.

 

[Cano]

How much, more or less, are we talking about here? In US bucks.

 

[RCKakashi14]

The 1:64 Bburago Ferrari singles cost around 6 USD in SRP in major toy stores. It's quite steep considering the casting's detailing and proportions.
