1/64 Model Collectors Thread

Do you ever notice any wear, or damage from the cars moving around in those jammer cases?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Not really, even though they do bounce around when they are moved.

There shouldn't be. The worse it can get is the tampo/chrome lip on the wheels coming off from rolling back and forth while rubbing the walls.... or tampos on the roof if it happens to be upside down. Unless your cases don't got smooth walls.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I secure the car in the compartment with either thin packing foam, or kleenex(works really well). I do sound paranoid.

I would probably do that too if I used them.

I have my loose cars lying sideways in a plastic drawer, all packed together, rubbing against each other roof-to-base. That's not so bad, but then I added another "level" of cars on top of that since there was room, again lying on its side. Now there's rubbing from wheel-to-wheel. I know it leaves it vulnerable to wear, which is why I try not to open that drawer often. If I ever do, I'm opening and closing it really carefully



And it's tissue. Kleenex is the brand.

Is that thing 1/64? Looks fantastic. 👍

Yeah, better safe than sorry. I'm gonna continue to do so, I think. 👍

Andy, you n00b! They are the aloe lotion Kleenex! They deserve to be mentioned by name.

I used to have bad pollen allergies, like from age 13 into my 20's. Blowing nose with standard tissues were brutal on my nose. I could blow my nose with these aloe lotion Kleenex all day long, and my nose will not get sore! 👍

Metal to metal scares me, but I guess it wouldn't be risky in a drawer.

Here's how my loose cars are stored:



Everything has either foam or kleenex, except some basic mainlines, also larger castings.

 

[iceprincexxx]

Yup, it's 1/64.

 

[a6m5]

Wow. The wheels..... fit of the headlights...... the REST. Kyosho really came through!

 

[iceprincexxx]

Another Kyosho. This time it's a Ferrari 360 Spider

 

[CodeRedR51]

I want these.

Another Kyosho. This time it's a Ferrari 360 Spider

Awesome Kyosho's, especially the 599, always been a fan of how that car looks. 👍

 

[Wilbur]

I want these.

Me too!

 

[Johnny1996]

Me too!

Me three!

 

[AOS-]

I want these.

Is that not just a longer shadowbox than what we have?

 

[a6m5]

Nice display, but how busy that looks & style of the display just don't do it for me. When collectors make it look mad busy, but with retail display style, I think they are awesome. I'm weird.

 

[CodeRedR51]

These are probably a full custom job, hand built frames, etc.

 

[velly]

Me three!

Me four!


that is awesome!

I always like those Samba Buses..... but really, who doesn't?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Me.

Don't really care about them to be honest.

 

[a6m5]

Must you be a party pooper!?

 

[Spacegoat]

I'm weird.

Old news.

Greenlight VW Samba Bus

That's pretty cool. 👍

I'll just leave this here for Wyvern, Another Real Rider Lickety Six in white has surfaced.

Been a while since the Panda last posted, but I hope he sees these so he'll about have an aneurysm.

I took one look at this posting a couple weeks ago and went into shock. Been laid up at home for the past few days after being released from the hospital.

Doctors tell me that while I was out, my hand was involuntarily tracing the letters
"C-A-N-O" , "S-C-R-E-W" and "Y-O-U" on any available surface.

 

[Cano]

Whoa, better than expected.

 

[diabolicwyvern]
