Greenlight will be releasing several variations of the 2015 Ford F-150 in 1:64 scale.
I can't get enough of that Toyota Crown Wagon, it really is a brilliant model.
If it's only marginally bigger than an Alto, imagine how smaller it is compared to other 1/64 models...
Wow, I had no idea I made the 40,000th reply! I can remember when this thread hit 10,000. I don't post here as much as I did back then. It's come a good ways since then!Also I noticed that this thread has recently gone past another milestone. Belated congrats to @Sonygamer455 for getting the 40,000th reply. 👍
Picked up one of these yesterday:
Siku Alfa Montreal. The black paint on mine has seen better days, but all the wheels are on it and it has no real damage. Happy days.
Because I have a good eye.:0 how? Those don't precisely grow up in trees you know?
Never during the week so that gives you your answer.K day the 4th or 5th?
Because I have a good eye.
Seriously though, bargain at 50p. Currently on display next to Manta.
I tried to be a scumbag today at work when I found 3 Hot Wheels cases in the back.
I went to Daboxtoys ~2 weeks ago, and I returned with these:
One of them is a Honda NSX Type S-Zero made by TACCAR. The quality of this rivals that of a Kyosho, with the only imperfections being the fact that some of its rear lights (painted silver) are scratched away, and the fact that the axle of the front wheels is too long. The only reason I bought this is because it has an openable bonnet, which is rare for 1/64s. The engine is painted, the interior is pretty nice, and the exhaust is painted in silver. I would have preferred the first generation in red or white, but unfortunately they weren't available, so I had to settle with the 2nd gen. I got this for 70 HKD/~9 USD (if I remember correctly), which is a bargain, I believe. There was also a Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R whose hood can be opened (all cars TACCAR produces feature openable bonnets) available in red or blue, but I'm more interested in the NSX. So here are some pics:
And here is the engine bay. There is nothing to hold it properly, so I'm forced to use a toothpick.
I also made another purchase there: a Kyosho Beads Porsche 911 GT1. This thing is truly a masterpiece. It's a wonder how they managed to put brake discs and callipers into a 1/64. The interior is also nicely recreated. The only pity is that I could not view the interior clearly or take a nice photo of it, as the chassis is not held to the base with screws. It's so detailed, I believe one may be fooled into believing that it's a 1/43 if told so. It comes with a nice acrylic case for display. The only imperfection is that the front wheels don't roll smoothly. Originally I only planned to buy the NSX above, but seeing as the 911 GT1 is sold at a such a cheap price (94 HKD/~12.1 USD ), I succumbed to the temptation and bought it as well. I blame the purchase on this thread.
Here are some pics of the ultra-detailed 911 GT1:
(If you look closely enough, you'll see the brake discs and calipers.)
A photo of it with the casing:
Some more artistic photos of them:
Speaking of which, @AOS-, at what price did you buy your Kyosho Porsche 911 GT1? I'm just curious.
My summer buying binge has arrived. That's it for 2015!
I want your wallet.
If there's anything left of it.
