1/64 Model Collectors Thread

This is so stupid. So I fixed the slanted stance on the SLR McLaren. When I go to put the screw back on to fix it to the base, it goes slanted again. Turns out the base was the source of the problem. It forced the interior piece to be warped.

So I ditched the base and put a Kyosho in them plastic cases. A Kyosho. I can't believe it.

Could it be a phony? Is there such thing? I seem to recall reading about fake Kyosho minicars before somewhere.

Fantastic!

I'm generally proud of our car culture until I see one of those....... and to a degree, I liked seeing them as a kid. They were more tasteful, but looked like Mad Manga from Mattel, so it was still ridiculous.

I had something written but I accidentally refreshed the page and lost it all.

But other than that, I was going to share pics of that Alfa I got. Straight from Japan, from the 2012 Alfa Romeo Minicar Collection 3, I bring you:

The 155 V6 Ti "6" Nannini!

 

[a6m5]

This is Kyosho, right? Damn......

 

[Cano]

This is Kyosho, right? Damn......

Yes, Kyosho. I have it and I can confirm it's absolutely, mind-bending awesome. One of the best pieces in my collection, easily. Got freaking damned Ahmed has the red one.

That Alfa, holy hellcats. 👍

That's like 3 to 1 vote, man. I don't think it's hideous, but I still think it'd have looked a lot better with dark colored wheels, or maybe just silver.

Actually now you mention it, those wheels in that same Yellow/Gold colour would look absolutely sick on the Green Gloria sedan.

Just saying. *ducks for cover*

Seriously your AmiAmi order must be getting close, no? Need pictures of that sweet Z you're getting.

@a6m5 just sucks.

Poor a6.

I have the earlier version of that, in red with Alfa Romeo livery which is also seen in Gran Turismo games.

Just because it's true doesn't mean it's true! Wait.....

It left L.A. yesterday, should be here by Tuesday.......... barring Hawaii.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

A couple weeks back, I bought some more hotwheels & 1 matchbox and well; here they are.

 

[Spacegoat]

I'm holding you to that and remember, minimum of two pictures each are required on such sweet cars.

 

[yabiggoose]

Here's some average shots of some 1:72's I got the other day.

 

[Spacegoat]

Awesome. Those Mini Vans especially. Excellent stuff mate. 👍

 

[Cano]

I want those Minis.

 

[Daniel008]

Finally found 1...

 

[RCKakashi14]

Tomica Ford Focus RS500:

Even though I said I'll pass on it...








And a Kyosho 1:64 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI:

 

[Cano]

Just because it's true doesn't mean it's true! Wait.....

I'll open a poll:

"a6m5 sucks"

° yes
° yes
° oh yeah

For science.

EDIT: I've never seen a car with a more urgent need for a wheelswap than that Tomica Focus.

[Gotbeefboy564]

That's a big error

 

[yabiggoose]

Oh I have a good error. I'll look for it now!

Edit: here we are. Found it at the supermarket a few years back. Blister is perfect, definitely not tampered with.

 

[AOS-]

Blister is perfect, definitely not tampered with.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Only big error I have is this Aston

Has a black rim instead of a chrome one.

 

[Clocktower]

Well.. not a Furai, but eeehh... what is it? I like the flames.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Looks like a chevelle.

 

[yabiggoose]

1970 Pontiac GTO I believe

 

[AOS-]

Well.. not a Furai, but eeehh... what is it? I like the flames.

But it is a Furai. It says so right there. It's a topless variation.





inb4someonetakesthatseriously: Yeah it's a '70 Pontiac GTO Convertible

 

[Clocktower]

Pink interior + blings rims = ready to cruise!
