1/64 Model Collectors Thread

I saw your tweet asking about my Fiat, but it was glitching out. Yes, it's by CM's!

I deleted that tweet. You can still see parts of deleted tweets? I typed in @GTPLamley but somehow your name showed up instead. Strange.

I did already find out yours is a CMs when I googled around. No matter what I search for, such as “paint drying” for example, your photos keep coming up in the search results

It came up normally, but I couldn't reply to it, or retweet it. Now I understand!

No way.... If anything, @R1600Turbo is the GTP Lamley. He has all the latest information. I never know what's new!

That's easy, paint drying is one of the top subjects on my blog. It's a fascinating blog, I know.

I just copy over whatever T-Hunted posts.

 

[Johnny1996]

What.

I almost always end up cracking the clear lid. I've always found there has to be a certain way to take it off. It gets annoying. It very well could be just me though.

Along with the white Datsun, I picked up this cool M2 Charger Daytona:

That Charger rocks. Nice score. 👍

Mr. Craft Custom Tomica Fiat 131 Abarth Rally

Abalth Rally. Hahaha, that's awesome.

Typical Tomica wheels aside, good looking cars.

👍!!

To be honest it is one of the best collector blogs.

 

[GroupB]

Only paid $6 for this. Not bad.

Oops, I forgot to change the aspect ratio of my camera

How did they manage to make a Chevelle look more like a Maverick than a Chevelle? That’s a special kind of talent

 

[CodeRedR51]

Some eye candy in here.

Keep up the good work. I get my latest info from GTPlanet. :tup:

On M2 cases, I always start at the bottom side of the case, where the clear case tab is. Undo one tab, then it becomes loose.

Hell yeah it does!

It's just whiney collector posting pictures & thinking outloud, but I appreciate it.

It looks weird with Real Riders. Check out Jason's picture of the mainline. It's sweet!

What is the meaning of this!!??

Mix of mainline cars and Car Culture future releases.

Edit:

Same exact thing I do with every case but some still break. So again it's probably just me.

Collector I know from Twitter let me post his tweet on my blog. It's a comparison of F-Toys/Taccar/M2 Hakosuka Skyline.

That BRE 510 from the front row, third from the right: Do you know how that one will be released, or is that the same convention car from the last page?

Maybe. I've yet to break one.

Consider yourself lucky I guess.

The convention car has different wheels I believe. I think everything on that able will be available at retail.

That would be amazing. VW Transporter thing in the video looks amazing, too. Also upcoming Japan Historics 2 & 787B, they are gaining serious momentum. 👍

Strength control.

Once I get those open, I always file down the tab so it's less effort for future opening.

The BRE Datsun is a part of the Race Day series they released earlier. They're releasing the sixth car from each Car Culture set from this year. Although I'm not sure who they're going to sell them. It might be like the Forza box they had, maybe each CC set will now be released as a box set with the sixth car. That's just me guessing though.

 

[Aerocoupe]

While Car Culture is taking the spotlight right now, I think the Nostalgia Series should get a little more love; there's some real gems.

Spoiler: Dodge Charger Daytona

Spoiler: Porsche 930 Turbo

Spoiler: Chevy Camaro IROC-Z

Spoiler: Ford Torino Sport

Spoiler: Chevy Corvette (C4) x2

I like this series a lot because the designs on the cars are top notch, and the box art really takes it to another level.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Did I miss the Daytona, or is it not out yet?

 

[Aerocoupe]

Did I miss the Daytona, or is it not out yet?

It should be out. I would imagine it's one of the more sought after cars in this assortment, so you probably just missed it.

 

[a6m5]

Haven't seen Torino or Daytona. Card on the Corvette looks better than the car!

 

[Sonygamer455]

Ya'll remember me mentioning the Dodge D-50 had an adjustable rear suspension right? Well it has 4 different settings you can put it on.

Here are pictures of each setting from lowest to highest:




Love this truck! I'll try to get some pictures of my brother's Woodie soon.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I want those Hot Wheels car transport trucks but $13 is pushing it. Hopefully I’ll be able to find them.

 

[a6m5]

Haho ha how do you do that!?

Yep. Dodge D50.

I like all of them. But I really want the BMW M1 Procar. And the 917.

I have to disagree with you there mate. They work perfectly!

Also, probably going to buy a complete Modern Classics set soon.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Well, now that I've finally had some time to capture proper pictures, here's one of the little somethings I fetched from the Autoclássico car show yesterday. Now I wish I could say that I bought the 1/64 scale model of the Family Truckster and finally yell out "ha" to a certain Space Goat (@Spacegoat mention ahoy!), something else captured my attention and drove me into buying it;

​

It's an Auto World! My first Auto World model, to be more precise. After seeing pictures of the Galaxie here before, my mind eventually convinced me that this would be an interesting addition to the collection. And to be honest, it is. Casting quality is sound, and whoile the paint has some minor imperfections (mostly on the front section of the side trim), it's also not bad at all. The comparison with the Greenlight Chevelle showed me two things; A) I think the Chevy has some suspension lean and it's not even doing a corner and B) really shows how big the Galaxie is. On the other hand, the GL has more details I can sink my teeth into (not literally), such as the tyre branding and chrome rims. The Galaxie stands up to it well, but hopefully next time I can buy a GM Group model and make a fairer comparison.

The license plate also drew a chuckle. "Why Try"? Well it may have worked back when the 500 XL was launched, but cars like the Chevelle would ask "Why Not?" in return... 👍
