1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

Not even as a trade for the cars (or a car) in my cart?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nope.

 

[GTPorsche]

Finally got around to getting my list made. It's mostly filled with European and Japanese cars since that's typically what I go after.

Also, Porsches. As many of those I can find.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Remember, this is a Gran Turismo based site, so no Porsches allowed.

 

[Spacegoat]

He'll have to change his username as well. GTRuf has a nice ring to it.

Seriously though, I'm impressed he was able to put together a list. I would try but it would probably take me a week................or two.

The large rear wheel on the F12 is a buuuummer. But you have to figure that will happen to some of the models I have been looking forward to. At least it didn't happen to the FF. There are rumors that a 1/64 F12 might be coming out of the Kyosho factory at some point so that can make up for it a bit.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I concur, large rear wheels are probably my biggest complaint among Hot Wheels.
Of course though, there are cars in which they look perfect.
Yeah, the F12 really didn't need those wheels.

 

[GTPorsche]

It's a somewhat short list so far, and only containing more recent castings.

 

[photonrider]

Oh! Haaii, GTRuf!

Have you seen this one?

 

[GTPorsche]

I didn't see any Ruf HWs though.

 

[McZachenF1138]

Uh oh, now you got Harry calling you that. May god have mercy on your soul.

 

[photonrider]

If you only collect 1/64 Porsches, though, there must be hundreds. I have quite a few myself, from HotWheels, as well as Matchbox, Jada, Maisto, MotorMax, etc.

Here's a few:

 

[GTPorsche]

I've got a 1:43 Jagermeister 959 that's has some parts missing, and a 1:24 plastic model kit 911 GT1 from the 24 hours of Daytona that Paul Newman drove, but most of my Porsche stuff is 1:64 scale.

I've got Hot Wheels, Matchbox and some others.

I have a list of mine...so big I split the list up into two on my iPod, as well as individual photos of each casting and colour variation.

How did Paul fit into it?



Okay, I'm kidding. Here's a few more of mine - maybe you have some of them:

 

[GTPorsche]

I do have a few of those.

 

[McZachenF1138]

What make is that Cayman R? I really, really need one of those.

 

[photonrider]

The Cayman is a HW, Zach - Speed Machines. Only ever seen one, or else I would've snagged another for mauling.

 

[McZachenF1138]

It almost looks too nice to be a HW.
And of course it had to be a Speed Machine. I only got back into serious collecting this past fall and obviously long after Speed Machines.

 

[photonrider]

I've been keeping my eye out for extras.

Guess you can always go hunting on the Internet, but it's more fun of course to get it off the peg. Without paying postage. Not sure that casting ever came basic. I think it's a new casting. Cano will know for sure.

 

[McZachenF1138]

I have the silver first edition of the Cayman from 2007. It's the same casting I'd imagine.

*goes off to get South Texas Die Cast*

Yup, same cast. http://www.southtexasdiecast.com/hwguide/porschecaymans.html

 

[AOS-]

You're lucky if you can still find any Speed Machines in store, Harry.

Btw, did you get my stuff yet?

 

[Cano]

I am still surprised by the deals you can find on E-Bay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-67-H...52lrohiYAnoF8KDTYEmJJ8Y=&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I'll give the rundown:

-Getty 300ZX still in baggie
-white Auburn, extremely difficult to find
-Phone pole truck, complete with it's articulated arm and the guy in the basket, which appears decapitated quite commonly.
-two Old # 5s, always good sellers
-Cal Customs BMW M3 in blue and white, with some rare wheels
-Metal bed Oshkosh Snow Plow, complete with snow plow
-blue Hi-Tail Hauler in great shape, both bikes are complete
-Spoiler Sport project, at last!
-at last too, VW Sunagon, the only "normal" international color I was missing, now comes the task of hunting down the mexican variations and, well, indian, french... yeah, not gonna happen, but I'm done with all the normal ones
-blue with white stripes Cobra. Can't see if it's the Real Rider version or the more rare Blackwall version, but any fo those are welcome, I'm missing both.
-Batman playset with very very VERY sought-after Catwoman Dairy Delivery, which will net me at last my 240Z $TH, the trade is already sealed.

And of course random stuff fro trade, sale or restore. 27 bucks including shipping. Yup.

Are there any castings that have really thick-wall rubber tires? I'm talking rear wheels on a dragster..

Wouldn't mind knowing that myself. (drag slicks that is)

You're welcome.

 

[Nessy]

Cheers R1600. 👍

 

[Cano]

You'd have to take apart a Dragstrip Demons funny car or slingshot dragster. Another option is taking apart a Racing Champions Pro Mod racer, those have REALLY wide meats.


EDIT: Oooh thank you indeed, I'm missing those 4!!! MINE!

 

[Nessy]

Yep, looking at the racing champions at the moment.

 

[AOS-]

Thanks dude.... don't know if I would gut a funny car for a funny car.
