1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[a6m5]

Ooh, I didn't see that and I am missing that one still. Regardless I think I'll pass this time as I've already spent too much this month and the Citroen series isn't that difficult to get a hold of (famous last words).

Fun fact, the Citroen BX is the first car I remember my dad owning. It broke down a lot supposedly, but I always thought the hydropneumatic suspension was cool.

That would be the coolest thing if you were a kid.

God, I really want that CM's Citroen, but they just don't have another car I'd add for combined shipping. If I was still growing my collection, I'd add that Miura, maybe Countach.

 

[Spacegoat]

That would be you.

Fail to see how...

They are #1 in the division! Soon they'll be back on top in the league! How many young rebuilding team can say that!?

You know my feelings about Baseball. As long as you're happy.

Nope!

That's two pre-orders now, right?

I saw that. I can't believe I didn't connect the dots. It should happen before the year's over right?

Fail to see how...

Always egging me on to buy stuff, you are the CLASSIC enabler!

I still hope you get a MLB hat as discussed.

Zero. I don't collect nothing anymore.

Gunmetal version good? This one bester!

Ignition Model has hit two home runs. Supers!!

 

[a6m5]

Bestest amirite. I'm hoping that blue's as cool in person as it is in pictures.

I don’t photoshop so these photos are straight from the camera. Although the skill of the person using the camera has a big effect on the end result

It is bestest. Loving these Ig models. This blue one would go into my top 5 if I had to do a version 2.0 top ten.

I thought you was flippping yours? Don’t do it bro. It’s too nice to let go.

Looks so damn good in that blue. 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

Looks way better in blue in my opinion.

The gun metal gray I thought I'd flip, but I'm not sure. Maybe if I didn't like it for whatever reason. Your pics have really good lightning!

PURE facts.

No, you, x infinity!

That's four votes for the blue. I wonder if gun metal gray would still end up being worth more though, for it being the very first release.

 

[yabiggoose]

Also depends on how many were made of each colour.

 

[domalorite]

Lightning is dangerous.

being the very first release.

I thought these were released simultaneously?

999 of each colour.

Godammit, IG looks bestestestest.

 

[AOS-]

But what about the red one y'all?



Or maybe even *gasps* the chameleon purple?????

 

[CodeRedR51]

These are a must have.

Found the Magnus Walker 911 whilst on holiday in Spain. The card is battered and stapled together but more reason to set it free anyway.

Depends on your perspective.

Should have seen that coming...

Going to have be honest. I'm vaguely interested in the '83 tractor. Interesting to see what the finished products look like.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Here's the Audi Quattro with it's deco.

 

[AOS-]

Winning Pikes Peak S1.

Someone's going to do a custom of it.

And it won't be me!

 

[GTboyz]

I wish it didn't have any decals other than front and rear deco.

This is a well made car from Inno. I am pleasantly surprised by how well made it is. Good casting detail, stickers applied smoothly. Its a pretty good first effect by Inno. I would say as good as Tarmacs recent stuff. Impressive.

Everyone knows I despise water slide stickers and I did have to go through a few pieces to find one that had good stickers applied. But the overall finishing is very good. Smooth with no bubbling and orange peel effect. Infinitely better than Tarmacs first release and I remember criticising them for the shoddy workmanship. I only remembered I had the Tarmac Idemitsu Civic EG6 after I finished taking these photos and I couldn't be bothered to find it and compare the two. But you can see the difference between this and that one from this guy photos that keep randomly appearing on Google (this guys photos pop up everywhere!)

The 1/64 JDM market has become very crowded recently. Everyone is getting in on it. If Inno continue to release stuff like this and keep improving their quality they will surely have a lot of collectors following them.

That's a good typo. Oops.

We were looking at this tweet at work today. It's pretty good:

Turn up volume:

I thought these were released simultaneously?

I wondered about that. Going by my observation online, gun metal gray appeared first. SURPLUSgoodies(on eBay), carloverdiecast, dabox & Tarmac Works showed up with Ignition Model 1/64s first & they all had gun metal gray initially, with the exception of Tarmac Works. Tarmac Works offered the gun metal & blue simultaneously. Carloverdiecast offered white, only after they had sold out gun metal & I've yet to see the white one from anybody else.

Of course, that's all my personal observation online + I don't know how things worked out for those lucky enough to score them from local shows & shops!

Godammit, IG looks bestestestest.

Please switch to decaf.

chameleon purple

If that's the one I'm thinking of(I think they did it in 1/18?), that one's pretty hot.

These are a must have.

If I was building a 1/64 collection, I'd definitely buy a couple.

Found the Magnus Walker 911 whilst on holiday in Spain. The card is battered and stapled together but more reason to set it free anyway.

Beat up card would have made a nice souvenir with it intact!

Depends on your perspective.

PURE FACT: You are upside down!!

Me? Predictable? You can't be serious Spacedog. 👍

I wish it didn't have any decals other than front and rear deco.

I think it looks good!

(this guys photos pop up everywhere!)

I want to talk more about Idemitsu, but I'm just so distracted by how nice this guy smells. Thanks for making me click on my own link.

I was head over heels for the chameleon purple thing, but several resin brands start doing it too on a wider range of cars, and now the idea's been cheapened. Grr

The reason I say this is because among the cars that IMO look good in this colour-shifting scheme, the R35's box shape isn't one of them.

Does it make that much difference? What are the good examples?

Due to the nature of this thread, I will disclose it once more that this is strictly a personal opinion on the subject, but here's a whole bunch of purple colour-shifting models:

Spoiler

I could just be jaded, but I think the harshness of colour contrast and shifting is most fitting on bodies that are slender with overall sharp points and angular forms, stuff that makes something look dangerous. A boxy soft-cornered body doesn't come off with an aggressive demeanor.

Very true. Not disputing that one.
