1/64 Model Collectors Thread

I've the Vintage Racing series 510, and some old NASCAR racecars from the same line.

I'm a fan of the series, but that 510's like the Michael Jordan card of the series. Don't ever get rid of it!

And it now makes me mad seeing "Chevy" and "Silverado" in the same post, because I want one. 2013 (maybe '14?).

Are you talking about the mainline? Isn't that like a dollar?

 

[CodeRedR51]

If that's the only car I saw at the store, I'd have come home empty handed. Well, and maybe a snack. Sorry.

Well you are Mr Fancy Pants castings now and don't care about mainlines so no surprise there.

Will. Not. Part. With. 510.
Yes, the mainline. Orange with black flames.

Not true!

Infiniti castings just don't do it for me. If Tomica Vintage Neo did the original Q45, I'd preorder that.

Old Chevys =👍👍 New Chevys = Meh .............at least for me!

Older the better here. I want a real '69 C10 with at least a 302. If I can find another HW C10, I'll have big plans for it.

I do love those. My friend used to have a C10, though I forget what he had in it. It landed on him once while he was working underneath it.

Hot Wheels doesn't have C10 with real riders yet, do they? I'd love that.

So far just the one pictured below, which I haven't seen since the last Kmart Collector Event.

True. I think I've seen it maybe just couple times? First time I saw it, I had chance to grab as many as I wanted, but I think I grabbed just one. Great casting, not too keen on the color.

I only have one, and its getting annoying only having one. Not that I'll "EF" them, that being hoarding the C10s like I did the EFs.

No but you could buy $6 worth of cars and make one yourself.

Just egging him on, R1600Turbo.

Bought the tools! Just needs the screws & whatnot.....

I have the tools, but still haven't gotten around to getting screws, washers, etc. I even have inventory of real riders donors.

Screws are tools in my mind. What I usually do is drill the head of the rivet enough to separate the base from the body, then use WeldBond glue to hold back together. If needed, I paint over the drilled spot or glue spot. One project will use screws: 1969 Camaro flashlight keychain.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Screws = more professional looking.

If I had loose screws that were long and/or small enough I'd use them. Besides, I usually give all the goods to what you can see if the car is on display.

Anyway, back on topic to collecting. Okay, semi back on topic. I'm logging out as you read this reply in case I go to day two of the toy sale tomorrow. Its from 10 am to 4 pm, and I'd like to get there early if I go. Unless its sold, I found a sweet HW formula car in a baggie for only $1, so I'll be buying it. Pics to come if I go and get it. Whatever the sitiation, I'll let everyone know.

Meanwhile, couple of cars I forgot to post:

Tomica/TOMY Pocket Cars 1956 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing -

Dude, how can forget to post that? Awesome stuff. Looks great with the SLS too. 👍

I even have inventory of real riders donors.

Obviously there aren't any Speed Machines in that group.

Thanks though.

I'd give you two likes for that post if I could. 👍

Edit: Cars I opened today(from old inventory).









Blazer reminds you of the Ranger, yes?

Putting spun rivets back in = Master-level customizing. I did that recently. almost can't even tell if I taken it apart before.

Yeah but then you have to drill it out again if you need to take it apart for any reason.

 

[Spacegoat]

Ah, yes. Honestly I probably would have forgotten about the 300SL too.

 

[a6m5]

I just saw this thing on TTP. Damn near bought it, but one premium hot wheel line I can find locally is Cool Classics, so I held off(probably a mistake, but oh well). It says rubber tires, so I'm definitely on-board with this one.

I didn't even know people riveted them in. I'd probably stick with the screws for all its pros, but rivets' probably easier & simpler.

Wrong-o. All Cool Classics are plastic tires.

I was wondering about that. I'd love to have it for normal retail price, but not for $12 or whatever it would've amounted to.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm worried I'll never see it because the first couple mixes of Cool Classics are still warming the pegs around here.

They've been moving around fine at stores I look, surprisingly. Still, I've never seen the CRX, so I may never see this one either.

 

[CodeRedR51]

CRX hasn't even been shown yet, let alone released.

That pic we all saw, was that some sort of leak then? I am glad to find out that I haven't missed out on them. Yet.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah I think a T-Hunted leak.
