1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[VXR]

I really, really don't like the 991 casting at all, but the decals and that colour make it a bit more visually interesting.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Might just have to pick up the Fleetwood.

 

[Spacegoat]

Was just looking at that on GL's Flickr page.

Cadillac looks awesome. Digging the Dodge too, that car trailer is very cool.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, that trailer is pretty cool. That truck really should be a dually though. If I see a deal on that red trailer, I may get it. I hope they don't.... screw up F-100 the way they screw up most pickup trucks.

Poundworld strikes again with the HW I've missed. Focus RS, Ford GT, yellow P1, the red R34 GTR and the black Castrol CSL.

I also bought my fourth MBX MX5 (!) and the '93 Mustang police. That's my first Fox Body as an adult.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Cheaper, and much better than the Tomica:

Wrong placement of logos, though.

Random "I haven't shared stuff here for ages" post. This is all from two weekends ago, from the usual fleamarkets, some of which I had not visited in about a year.

In this picture, the projects and parts donors and some custom tools:

In this picture, the "good" cars that integrate into the collection, or will be sold (some to ludicrous profit 👍 ) to finance stuff like the TLV President, that arrived in the mail that same week.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Haul for today:

EDIT: Here are some photos:

Love the side-by-side, @RCKakashi14 :tup:

@Cano - Nice Supra at the bottom of the bottom pic!!

P.S. Cars I told you about on the Facebook page for my blog came in today. I bought them, because they looked beautiful. I don't even know how it's possible, but they were way more impressive in person. RLC/HWC cars have super high quality I like on hot wheel cars, but these two easily puts them to shame. I'll try to post them this weekend.

I might get a yellow Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 GTA as well. Dirt cheap too.

 

[VXR]

I've spent the last couple of days recreating some of my favourite HW in Horizon. There's still a couple more on the go.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hmm.

I like this idea.

Looks amazing. 👍 Not that I play anything anymore, but for perks like customizing your own liveries, Forza interests me much more than Gran Turismo.

Hmm.

Lowlife. This idiot should've just hid it under the jacket & walked out the store, because it's no different. Thief.

Edit: I've been harsh on Kmart lately. I say things like lights are dim, employees are... different, also how dollar stores look nicer.

Last night, on a hunt for Power Ranger toy one of my de nephew's been after, out of desperation, I ended up at the only Kmart in town. I swear, it's like the zombie apocalypse:

I didn't find the Power Ranger, but they did have one of the Hot Wheels I've been after:

I didn't buy it. I didn't find it all that neat & car looks just like the original Mad Manga.

 

[Lunar MechaG]

Behold! I may have a problem. "I found my vice, I found my vice. It lives under plastic and wants me to buy."

Since I'm boring and usually get only real world models, good 1/64's are hard to come by where I live unless I go to a hobby shop. The P1 made me ECSTATIC on the inside, I haven't been able to find one in months, I was afraid they were all gone ahaaa. I'm really glad I found these though, yesterday and today have been very good days in general.

They look awesome. Well done. 👍👍

"Nephew".

Sure, whatever you say. J/k

Pretty sure that is the original Mad Manga, isn't it?

 

[a6m5]

I just came on here from Amazon. Had to pay premium & shipping, but it is what it is. I De Nephew really like Power Rangers.

Pretty sure that is the original Mad Manga, isn't it?

I'm sure. If it had a exclusive car, I'd have bought it.

Really like the 180SXs & digging the Lambo. 👍

Definitely. I'm with you on leaving it behind.

Wow someone either is rolling in 599s or they're awfully generous!

Going to drop some requests inspiration (some images redirect to more pics):











Any of their WRXs:



Or any one of these:

 

[VXR]

Several of the R32 liveries have been on the backburner for years haha.

I like several of those so, maybe I'll get to it soon enough. I have possibly 50 ideas or so that just seem to never materialise...

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Got the Forza series

And the basic Lamborghini LM002.
Also saw a real hot wheels today

Chrysler museum is closing by the way.

Chrysler museum is closing by the way.

It indeed is, quite sadly. Cool that you got to go there before they shut it down for good. Office space, can you belive that.

Yep. Hopefully they'll still have their cars and coffee next year too.

 

[a6m5]

That's flipping crazy. That concept car takes me back to the first Gran Turismo game. Good times.

Posted couple cars:

Batman vs Superman Mad Manga

Track Meh Chevy Chevelle

 

[yabiggoose]

They really half-arsed that Chevelle. Seen it in person as well and I didn't even give it a second thought.

 

[Zychotic1]

had myself a good haul when I stopped for groceries...

[a6m5]

Never even seen or heard of the Land Speed Racer. Sweet. I hope I can find the Track Day Bluebird sometime, but I really doubt it.

They really half-arsed that Chevelle. Seen it in person as well and I didn't even give it a second thought.

Agreed. I was a fan of the purple "Summit" mainline Chevelle & I got weak. Thinking about it again, I also have the Super Treasure version with Real Riders & never liked that one, so I don't know what I was expecting with the Track Day version, also w/Real Riders.

 

[Zychotic1]

just noticed the first picture is upside down... now I'm in a fight with photo bucket because its apparently not saving the fix...

Yeah, noticed that. But @Spacegoat should see it correctly.

 

[Spacegoat]

But @Spacegoat should see it correctly.

Yeah, it's perfectly fine for me.

All of the other pics on this page are wrong though.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Fancy this Alfa?

Had to leave it alone, though.
