Can never get tired of seeing Christine . . . .

Nah, I'll be keeping it despite its issues. Just don't look at it up close.

Far from nice, but nice from far - that's the way to go with some of these models.

I do recall seeing those on eBay, when I first got into Kyoshos. That black Loctite car looks nice, eh?

My blue cards


And my favorite, a gold chrome wheel variation of the 57 Chevy.


Not exactly a blue card, but I had to share this

My value guide says it's worth $25. Not bad for a $1 investment.

Aside from those, there are plain body versions too; albeit in a different boxset - at the British Minicar Collection.

Found a yellow one for $2, but the seller was being sly with shipping charges.

I'd say. It was my first Kyosho.

Only two that came out "decent."

Single flashlight from the front? That's mighty dark.

Want a quick demo on pulling off a fix with photoshop?

 

[MedigoFlame]

Three second shutter speed whilst waving my flashlight low to the ground back and forth while trying not to get it in the reflection.. I suppose my flashlight's getting duller already.

 

[RCKakashi14]

I have yet to get that 300C SRT...


As far as lighting is concerned, even my white background photos don't have decent lighting. I adjust exposure values via Photoshop with HDR plug-in...

You can slow the shutter speed even more to get more time with the flashlight, or you can up the ISO so it'll pick up more. I've been alternating between different flashlights, and some times I'm on 100, 200 or even 400. The chosen ISO will likely influence your shutter speed, and for me, shutter speed is determined by which areas of the car and/or backdrop I need to put light on and how much. Some times, the settings don't work out well, that's when I have to start playing with the position of the flashlight even more.

What I bought today. More photos later:

The Kyosho I ordered from Daboxtoys arrived. Impulse purchase but totally worth it.

Nice. 👍

And these Beads Collection models are turning into gems now. I'm even salivating at the chrome dark red Super GT models.

Just came across a picture of the Red chrome Motul GT-R. Holy hell, that is one good looking model. And nice pictures of the Tomica Viper, easily one the better looking mainline Tomica's I've seen in a while. 👍

Some guy in interested in buying all 166 cars I currently have listed. I've selfishly totaled up its value to be $266, shipping that many cars to Florida would likely cost around $80, so I've so far proposed $330 shipped....sound like a rip, but I do have quite a few premium HW (never mind its collector value ), and a gotdamn JL 911 Turbo in there! The $300-some is there to accommodate haggling. If If I can work off a deal, I can easily drop big money on some special cars.

 

[a6m5]

Dogammit Jarrod! Nice NSX! Love the detail job on it. 👍 Tomica flatbed, too. Never seen it before.

@AOS- Which color JL 911 do you have? I have the silver one & it's one of my favorites. 👍

I saw some new mainlines today, but only one I bought was the Mercury Cougar. I actually even put it back on the peg once, but I had to get it. It's cool(no pic, it's in my glove box). I'm doing extreme cutback on mainlines. Clearance sale coming soon!

 

[AOS-]

@a6m5, I've got that silver one with the black rubber siding.

The more I look at it, the less I want to sell it. However, if it helps to attract that buyer, I'll do it. I'd be able to get rid of some of the crappier cars on my wall.




And whoopie! Someone was willing to pay $15 for 4 of my MBX Porsche 914s! Would you say that's decent money for basic Matchbox cars?

 

[a6m5]

That's what I got & that is my favorite color for that Porsche. P.S. I'll have a new Porsche to share with you all in a couple of weeks. Hohohoho, do I........

So freakin cool believe me, couldn't stop looking at it last night. Wish I didn't have to pay the damn car registration this month, otherwise I would have got at least another one to go with it. First world problems, eh?

Haven't seen the Tomica flatbed that Daniel posted before either. Nice. 👍

 

[yabiggoose]

@Spacegoat what city are you from and how long did postage take?

 

[Spacegoat]

I'm near Tamworth in NSW. 👍 And this particular one took 12 days to arrive. Which is around the normal rate (like 10-14 ) for stuff from Hong Kong. I tend to get impatient, when I order things online. Waiting for them to arrive sucks.

P.S. I'll have a new Porsche to share with you all in a couple of weeks. Hohohoho, do I........

P.P.S. You tease, curse you. *angrily shakes fist in air*

 

[yabiggoose]

@Spacegoat ooh, both good news but bad for my bank lol!

 

[Cano]

Negative.

Dang. I'm starting to think I'll have to snag them off E-Bay for about $10-$15 a piece. I'll start hunting them down ):
