Well guys I took a trip to the attic and got a bunch of them.. I will start posting pics soon 👍 I brought a box full of them, but i´ll try and group the most of them to save space and keep my posts not too much long.

Recently just rediscovered this car in my room. I liked how it looked quite a lot, so I decided to try my hand at drawing it.

I guess it came out better than I expected :P

I should also note the vinyl pattern I chose on the car is screen accurate to how it looked on the screen as opposed to accurate to the toy car.
 
Thanks! Could you give a possible suggestion on how I can improve my drawing style? (:

Follow that link, look at several examples. Take note of what you like about 'em and ask yourself why. Try mimicking what. If you need help getting something rolling, such as knowing what utensils to use to accomplish whatever it is you want, use these tutorials: http://designertechniques.com/navagation/tutorials.htm

Bite me, I wasn't even at home.

Now, there are very very few things cooler than a vintage japanese tanker truck AND two wood-sided station wagons, but I think most us will agree that these are one of those few things:

That´s an impressive collection mate :drool:
 
All them IXO rally cars. 👍👍


My wonderful Best of British Bentely sold. Only by the single bidder on the thing.

I finally got around to affixing the lost grille to my M2 Chevelle. I told the seller I'd pay for the car, but he said no-charge! :)

Not really to me, but I'm weird. :crazy: Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking anything away from your set, as it is 1000% awesome........ I do want to slap you right now for not giving us a detailed shot of P34. Come on, mang! :D

I take it it still sold for decent chunk of change?

Hey man what´s with edit button? I´m sorry for the ignorance but what do you mean by it? :confused:
It's right next to the "Reply" button. Instead of posting twice in a row, forum rule says that we use "copy & paste" feature to combine multiple replies to prevent double posting. 👍
Edit:
Wow, new Talladega, huh? I may have to look at that one.

Oh that is right! My mistake, i´ve started becoming more active in the forums a couple of days ago so... Thanks 👍
 
Nice Nomad & Woodie. 👍

I've been sick last couple of days, so as soon as I was able enough to sit in front of a computer, I started looking at Tomicas again. While throwing away money, I ran into this blog: Yamada-kun no sekai

Mostly Japanese cars, but man, he's got cool cars. Here are few really cool 1/76 minicars he posted by Oxford:

Morris LD Van Land Rover Ford Car Transporter

It's no biggie. 👍
 
Wow - so much to comment on here - too much to go in one go so I'll go in stages. (a6m5 - please note. :sly: )

First - @Sonygamer - I have one of those muscle machines - the Plymouth Savoy. great finish on them - but they were not cheap. That pile must have cost you. I don't see many of them around anymore.
I'll have to look in my albums for the photo of the Savoy.

Edit: Found it -





And this, too:





When you open the rumble seat of the Roadster this is what you can read.

Also, in case any of you are wondering what a rumble seat is:

Curse you Cano. :grumpy:
Here are some Muscle Machines I got way back in my early days of die cast collecting. :)

I normally don't go for stuff like that but the Woody is damn sweet. 👍

Very nice! :)

I fought someone up to $16.50 for the Bentley, and listed it for $13 and only sold for that much. I noted that $13 was a doable price for several buyers after a quick search on sold listings. Though I may have gotten away with a $16 starting bid, it might not have garnered the same amount of attention.
