1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[yabiggoose]

Just won two auctions for a car each, different sellers. Fairly tasty. Nothing from after 2000 to the best of my knowledge.

One is a Matchbox and the other a Siku. These two cars are from the same time and were fierce rivals.

Went to K-Mart today and found these to add to my collection was trying to find some Porsche's only found one though, but i did find the K-Mart exclusive S2000.

I think there's only that one unless you were looking for the Porsche Series.

So I rummaged through a pile of loose cars in a small hobby store, and I found this gem. It's another one of those UCC Coffee car model promos:

Ever considered doing oil washes on some of your models? I think it would positively impact the look of those wheels by giving it depth.

Alright, here's a really grainy photo of some (not all) of the Greenlights (+1 M2) I have purchased over the last month or so.

Dude, great selection. I'm positive that GL's 1970 GTO casting is the best there is for that car in ever and ever, it's just bonkers-perfect.

I've got more on the way.

Ah, boo. Eh, still pics.

That RX-3 is just too gracious, my god...

For a change, in a list of new Hot Wheel pictures, all the material in them is desirable, or at least for me it is. The Japanese collection this year has a lot of potential... Also, I need that Advan Datsun and the yellow 2000GT yesterday, they're equally gorgeous.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I just hope Mattel over saturates retail stores with this stuff so I don't have to sell a kidney to own the whole set.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

In America that is more likely to occur that in my good ol'area of Portugal where I live, where there are a "whopping" two or three supermarkets which sell Hot Wheels. And I do not know how often they are updated according to new lineups, which only makes matters even worse... It's a lovely matter, really. I'll be lucky enough if I can find one RX-3, much less anything more than one.

 

[VXR]

I really do. But the packaging is so cool too. I ain't destroying that.


No, I don't think they did either? Doesn't matter though, it looks cool anyway.

The British police force have a long history of adding a livery to supercars for promotional work. The Evo was one of them. I think the best had to be the Lotus Esprit.

Doing that image search reminded me just how much I like the Esprit.

GGGRRRR Freaking Hot Wheels beat me to it again. Well, mine will have the holes in the hood and all that stuff.

Oh wow, very cool. I had no idea. Thanks. 👍

I can see why.

It's still missing the rest of the all that stuff!

Aoshima 1/64 - RE Amemiya RX-8

 

[ScottPuss20]

That's not Hot Wheels.

 

[yabiggoose]

Yes it is.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That's not Hot Wheels.

T-Hunted said they got the photos from the Mattel or Hot Wheels instagram account.

Not a bad list, but for me the only highlights so far are the S660 and the MX-5/Roadster ND, other than that it's mostly normal business at Tomica Land.

Mind you, the Polo Polizei car is definitely an unique choice for a Japanese scale model company, that earns some bonus points for innovation...

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wish that MX-5 was TLV.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Oh hey, look. Someone stocking up on them right off the assembly line to sell on eBay.

Kyosho 1/64 - Porsche Cayenne Turbo (955):

Definitely interested in the Honda S660 and VW patrol car.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Yes it is.

What I was meant to say was "It's too good to be a Hot Wheels car!". I know that it is though.
