1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[AOS-]

So remember how I say I collect Fast Fishes?

Well I wasn't as lucky this time around. They were more than just fast. Here's some random cars instead:

TH Gangster Grin

Nitro Doorslammer

Austin Healey. Blacklisted this before, but I could not resist british racing green.

Flag Flyers 5 pack 928.

'13 Easter Focus.



That's all for now.

And that's OK. Just look at it. 👍

 

[AOS-]

One of my all-time favourite colours for cars.

 

[a6m5]

Don't use Clint Eastwood though. He'll never nod at anything British. j/k

 

[Spacegoat]

It happens when I'm around.

I can see that. And that Austin Healey, very nice. 👍

Picked up the Stroker Ace retro car tonight, and the Magnum p.i. Ferrari 308.

@Cano - got those extra Indy Cars, $10. You know where to send the money.

 

[AOS-]

You know where to send the money.

To a hoe in Mexico. Oh!!!!!

Anyway, broke apart my lots. I decided to keep the black '92/'93 Camaro because the metalflake finish is so terribly amazing and the black 8 Crate because Moon Eyes livery. I also pulled out a lot of the real riders to take for its wheels. Nobody wanted to buy it the first or second time, Zach took a whole bunch already, I had wanted to sell those in hopes it would attract more buyers to each lot. Oh well. If I can't make back some money from it, I'll just treat their purchases as purchases for wheels. I might mod the BLVD Beetle, but I need to find some inspiration as to what kind of real custom Beetles exist.

The next small batch of cars left from May. My post tomorrow should be the the end....of my May purchases. Fortunately I only have about 30 things from June and I'm hoping to put them into no more than two posts. 👍

These Minty cars replace lesser quality in my collection.

 

[a6m5]

I wish they still used actual caterpillar tracks. Now they just got stationary fake plastic caterpillar with wheels housed inside.

Pandja, if you move your camera back just a little, we'd have shots that are in focus. If cropping is your concern, don't worry about it. You can crop out excess space even in something like MS Paint.

Oh, ok bud. I'll tell Ahmed. Thanks a ton for these.

Killer stuff again, Wyvern. I'm still missing the orange Sol Aire, and the Park n Plates Bird.

I'm shooting on my desk at work. If I move back even an inch, you'll see bits of my office space that needn't be on camera. For how quick I can churn out this quality of image, and with just my 2 yr old cell phone, I'm quite pleased.

Tomorrow, I'll send you a group shot of everything I THINK you've said yes to wanting.

Austin Healey. Blacklisted this before, but I could not resist british racing green.

That Austin Healey looks like it's smiling.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Another Raging Bull charges to my home.


It's painted in black and has once driven by James May.

"Eh? It's not a kit car! It's a Lamborghini! Philistine..."

Photos to be posted later.

Do you also have a Ferrari 156 FE? That seller never sent me one after all.

I've written down everything I've wanted off you in a PM I keep here already, but you may proceed with what you're doing to verify if you got everything. And I also have to take back the Crazed Clowns Cool One as I had one shipped to me last month (in case you missed that post). Thanks!

And here it is...


...something that James May could have settled:

But then, he only has 10,000 Pounds to spend on a used Supercar. Oh well...

 

[Cano]

I was this close to buying that Urraco the other day, but I want the orange one, so I passed and bought a Porsche 550 Spyder instead. I was gonna buy moar Kyoshos until Ahmed showed me that the Deals of the Month at the IXO models page was updated. There went my money ):

 

[a6m5]

Who was this seller, Andy?

 

[AOS-]

That kaprice guy.

It was an under the table thing. He never listed the 156 and said he'd charge me a dollar for it with the other things I bought... but then he said there was no room to pack one more car.... which is false because he could've just flipped the card upside down. I should've reminded him to ship loose. No damage was dealt to either one of us as he hadn't charged me an extra dollar for it. He did agree to sell it to me the next time I buy from him, but that's unlikely at this point. I don't want those '57 Bel Air HW Classics of his because bids go up to $6 every time.

Anywho:


'32 Duesenburg

 

[a6m5]

Quite a looker you got there. 👍

 

[Cano]

That car is awesome. I have it in the two-car showcase in which it first appeared:

 

[AOS-]

The roof pops off too. If you're a hot rod nut, you could easily go crazy with the Duesenburg casting when customizing it.

I'm hoping to need just two posts if I get the time to take pictures.

The roof pops off too. If you're a hot rod nut, you could easily go crazy with the Duesenberg casting when customizing it.

1 - if you ever write Duesenburg again I'll hunt you down and spit in your face. It's worse than saying Camero.

2 - Yeah, problem is they're pretty expensive to justify cutting one up, but I'd sure like to. Don't worry, you can get similar results with ah Auburn, which are a dime a dozen and of which I have several trashed examples. One will show up soon.

Some cool stuff there Wyvern, that pseudo-Corgi T-Bird looks awesome. I've only found a few of the Corgi ones (including one with rubber tires iirc), but I had never seen that one with the 7 spokes. Very cool :0

 

[R5]

Nice Duessenberg

 

[RCKakashi14]

Today, I bought 2 1:64 scale models:


Here's the first one.

Comparison with the original Miura:

With the 1:43 model:

After that, I headed to a swapmeet where my friend is selling is Kyoshos, Aoshimas, and Tomicas:

And finally bought this one. I have been looking for this in ages!

What a great Sunday...

 

[zakyta_4]

So many more awesome cars guys

WOW

 

[AOS-]

I correct your spelling all the time, and here you are threatening me in return.

Shows how grateful you really are.

Does the Auburn have a pop up roof that isn't physically attached to the body? The fact you can do it with this guy means you can have an exposed engine when modifying it.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Hopefully these work AOS,
