1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

You could get away with more shelves with your lower cars, and maybe put the tall ones in its own row.

And totally not worth if you consider model quality.

At that price (in IDR), i could get a Vintage Racing model or the Track Day Datsun 510.

Any Vintage Racing cars would be so much cooler than Track Day 510, at least to me!

I checked out Toys R Us on the way home today. All good stuff gone & only 10% off.

Don't worry, eventually it'll be 40% off fantasy cars.

I think they'd be all gone before 40% off, but I believe this was my final visit to Toys R Us.

I might make a last swing by a few on Saturday for the hell of it. Not expecting to find anything.

If this is really the official wheels then i'll pass lol

Man I remember the days when I could photograph my "entire" collection on a table. I think I was only 8 months old into the hobby at the time.

Haha, well 1/64 for me is sorta a side thing that I do when the opportunity arises
I probably will never get to the same level of my 1/18 collecting, though who knows, that could change someday...
Also these 4 arrived:

Now I'm torn between the LC 500 and the TLV Honda Civic...

TLV Civic, no doubt.

Glue yourself back together.

TLV Seibu Keisatsu Skyline 200 Trio is the way to go.

The first fruits of working at Asda paid off yesterday. I had my pick of the new batch, seemingly before many had the chance to rifle through. Chose the best grey Huarya and blue Ford GT for decal placement, regular Kenmeri and the Advan 180SX.

I can't seem to stop.

Did you pay a decent amount for that? I'm trying to get as much as I can off selling my loose 993.

I paid for IDR 430,000 or around $31. Kinda hurts paying that amount though, most expensive 1 piece i've ever bought so far.

It's a beautiful model, though!

Indeed, perfect color, fully detailed too, i just wished the taillight aren't so misaligned.

You have to be blessed with 2 buckets of luck to get toy cars with good tampos...


Alternatively, buy premiums and $THs.

 

[a6m5]

I think premiums generally have better aligned tampos. I used to have couple of those Porsches, but I don't remember anything about the tampos on them. I do have the newer TrackDay Porsche with disastrous rear spoiler tampo. Real bummer.

Edit: I checked my carded Porsche & it looks decent.

It ended up leading to a blog post about other cars I had in the case :

Man, you're lucky, that rearlight looks decent. Which Track Day Porsche?

I mean, i know it's my own problem that i am super anal about detail perfections so much that i used to quickly sell a car that i just got if i think the tampo just misaligned or has imperfections like little scratches. But with this one i'll just keep it since majority of the ones i've seen had worse than mine

I hope the 993 from upcoming Eurospeed series has better rearlight tampos.

Three Boulevards I could never find (unsurprisingly). That Porsche, Skyline and the flipping 510.

Nice Vintage racing collection, you've got there too. What a shame you chose to uncard the absolute bestest car from that series though...

It was this one:

I don't have the pic of mine, but that black rear tampo's way off on mine.

I know the feeling. I'm the same way.

Back then, I "hunted" & Boulevard Skyline, 510, those were cars I could actually find. F40, too.

Please free BRE 510!!

Never was big on that F40. I wasn't really concerned about never beening able to find that one. Sorry.

Please free BRE 510!!

No thanks, it's fine.

 

[a6m5]

Me neither, but I think F40's pretty coveted, too. *checks eBay* Almost $40(shipped) on a good day.

One thing I hated at the time about the F40's the gray/red two tone.

No thanks, it's fine.

It's one of the best Hot Wheels loose, if not the best. There are cars that are beautiful in the blister, but not as hot, or downright disappointing loose. BRE 510's a real jewel.

Not bad at all. 👍

Actually I don't mind the two tone paint job. The humongous rear wheel is what ruined it for me.

I'll take your word for it.

This is what i hate about Hot Wheels, some of the cool castings almost always has stupid rear wheels.

I'm okay with the GT500 Super Snake having big wheels in the back. They adjusted the proportions to still look beefy.

Bugatti Veyron on the other hand, dear lord do I feel sorry for all the suckers who are swooned by its name.
