1/64 Model Collectors Thread

I really like that I now finally have a Porsche 935 in my collection. Seriously, that one I posted was my first one. The Datsun 510 looks cool aswell, it reminds me of the Bluebird 510 Rally Car that is in GT4.

Though, I also hope to find one of those orange 911 GT2s eventually.

I'm mad I didn't know about the k day I might try and stop by and see if my stores are still open to try and find some. Hopefully the Kmarts are still open.

Best of Matchbox Land Rover Defender 110

Even better than I imagined.

 

[RCKakashi14]

I can't take the sexiness of this thing, bloody hell... It looks PERFECT

Well, except for the wonky side mirrors that I have to take out and glue them back to their correct angles.

But, this is as wonderful as the SL65 AMG Black Series. Hence, it's added to my favorites.

Finally got around to posting this beauty:

Aoshima Grachan Collection: Mazda Savanna RX-3

Track Day VW Karmann Ghia was meh-ish:

 

[yabiggoose]

That VW looks like some crap Muscle Machines-esque vehicle. Lol.

RX3 is groovy though

 

[RCKakashi14]

It's perfect only if the ride height is lowered...

 

[yabiggoose]

What brand is that?

Aoshima Grachan Collection: Mazda Savanna RX-3

It's amazing how absolutely different it looks all in one solid dark color compared to mine, which is white with black fender flares. In mine the fenders look enormous and absolutely in your face, but in yours they look much smaller, almost subtle.

But yes indeed, this car rocks.

Didn't know what to expect after that Celica disappointment. RX-3 looks great though. 👍

Cano's totally right about the fender flares. I bought the set, so it also came with the red RX-3? Flare's HUGE. You'll see what I mean after I post the Hakosuka. Actually, Hakosuka is on the standby. I'll post it right now.

Edit: Monster flare Hakosuka Skyline + Choro-Q VW Golf

 

[Spacegoat]

Flare's HUGE. You'll see what I mean after I post the Hakosuka.

Man, you weren't kidding. The wheels look so small in comparison. So cool though.

Choro-Q Golf looks great as well. 👍

It's not too late for you, you know?

Thanks!

Holy crap, that is the exact same model as mine. I'm impressed! 👍

And, no.

You drive a VC?

I'm secretly a bogan, yes. (old pics)

 

[CodeRedR51]

This is nice. Too bad it won't come with those wheels.

 

[AOS-]

Woo anyone need these?

 

[yabiggoose]

202, 253 or 308?

Don't see many SL/E's anymore. Hell you rarely see any pre-VN's now.

 

[Spacegoat]

Don't see many SL/E's anymore.

Exactly why I kept it (mostly) original. Oh and 308.

Edit: Really wish my AmiAmi order would hurry up. 2000GT looks good.

Good choice.

253, sound of an 8, fuel economy of an 8, power of a 6 lol.

 

[a6m5]

exact

You say no, but "exact same model" implies that your car has Grachan fender flares.

Is that Australian for "Grachan"? Okay, I'll stop now.

I thought you were talking about Toyota 2000GT. While looking, I found this.

Still trying to decide between the copper/orange mainline Tomica GT-R(R35) & TLV Fiat Panda. I like the Fiat, but it's $18 + postage!

 

[Spacegoat]

power of a 6 lol.

I think the 308 is listed at around 125kw? It's not that much more power than a current day Corolla.

Touche.

It's Aussie speak for redneck.

While looking, I found this.

Are you freakin kidding me?

Can I blame you for convincing me to buy that thing when it was 50% off? You said it was a good deal, Shinji!

I like the Fiat, but it's $18 + postage!

Sorry but I can't feel too sorry for you, considering that I pay $20+ for the same model. Issues aside, it's a real nice casting. I like it.

 

[a6m5]

You said it was a good deal, Shinji!

And it was!! Apparently, now you can steal it.

Sorry but I can't feel too sorry for you, considering that I pay $20+ for the same model. Issues aside, it's a real nice casting. I like it.

You are not going to believe it, but I've decided to pass the Fiat Panda altogether. For me, it's a price hike on brand that was too much money to begin with.

I started to really voice my concerns with their Silvia Super Silhouette which I think the MSRP nearly reached $70 or something like that? New TLV buses are sale prices of $70(before shipping), with now regular models $15~$20.

Guys here know I don't shy away from expensive castings, especially when the model really appeals to me. This is more of a slight protest. It's one thing if they want to reinvent the 1/64 market & charge crazy prices, but only if their cars got that much better. I see very little increase in quality, just surge in MSRP.

 

[Spacegoat]

Wonder if they'll keep discounting it until it eventually sells out?

Silvia Super Silhouette which I think the MSRP nearly reached $70 or something like that?

As cool as the Silhouette was. That was a big stretch at that price.

1600-1900 yen is fine with me but if they start regularly going over that, I might start to have some doubts about it.

 

[yabiggoose]

@Spacegoat true but the 253 was bad even back then lol. 308 had more potential.

 

[VXR]

My local Tesco came up trumps again. My last visit provided another white Castrol Escort, but this time it really was good to me.

The Hot Wheels pegs weren't very good at all, so for some reason I looked at Tesco's own brand cars. There was a really smart 991 Turbo S in black, which I grabbed and then I spotted a Focus ST in white with blue stripes. Because both of these were decent, I kept looking.

Then I found the Hot Wheels MX5 I've been desperate for, which must have been hidden away by someone. Hey ho, it was just my time haha.

Crap I may have to find that red 991 I left behind now.
