1/64 Model Collectors Thread

I see. So it's basically a true game of trial and error when it comes to getting the right lighting for a picture. Guess I'll have to pay attention to that as well.

Man, it is quite trick to get the hang of this, isn't it? Never thought it'd get this deep...

AOS- · Mar 17, 2015

A trick? Perhaps. Knowing everything I've just told you is great. You'll get the rest of it by playing around with the camera and light source positioning.

You can reach me by PM if you would like critiquing with future photos.

If you are really dedicated and are possibly cataloging your collection, but for people like me that just want to show a few pics of what arrived in the mail, I don't need all the technical stuff.

Eh, you always can take something useful from these learning experiences. You never know, they could come in handy one day. Not planning to catalogue anything at this moment, but hey, if I can make my cars look good, who am I to complain?

Wondering if any of you collectors in here have this - Cano, Panda, Ben?

Cano · Mar 18, 2015

I kiiiinda do... but mine's a black wheel car, so WAY less rare and valuable, and of course, lacking a certain something :/

RVDNuT374 · Mar 18, 2015

I was shocked to find these in my local Walmart:

As usual, I get the good cars way after everybody else due to living in the middle of nowhere for Hot Wheels collectors. 👎

Acquisitions from a while back:

AOS- · Mar 18, 2015

God. I left that fire truck behind. I was really on the fence with that one, but ultimately decided I should avoid introducing a new casting if my will power was strong enough. :lol:

2009 Minichamps Set 3
Porsche 911 GT3 RSR 24h LeMans 2007 Narac/Lietz/Long

Wish more people appreciated this life style.

@AOS-

Can I see a pic of the base of them Minichamps Porsches?

AOS- · Mar 18, 2015

@Cano

Nah. May I ask why out of curiousity?

Ken · Mar 18, 2015

@AOS- , can I see the screws that kept the car attached to the base?

Just don't flip the table because the Panda will grab all the cars and retreat back to his cave.

While munching on bamboo, Mrs Panda can't help but wonder what she and Panda will do with all the space in the new house, err cave.
Moments later, Panda emerges from basement with a look of satisfaction.
"Everything all right, Panda?"
"Everything's fine dear. Just tidying the shelves, getting rid of things we still haven't unpacked."
"Oh that's great. It'll be nice to have some additional storage space."

Panda nods in agreement while muttering to himself, "if she only knew what he was making room for..."

These arrived. Three classics from the service merchandise set.

@AOS- Can I check where the sun don't shine for horsepower & top speed?

AOS- · Mar 18, 2015

@Ken Koios, Wish I could, but they used sticky tack for this particular one.

@a6m5, hello you've reached Minichamps. Sikus are 3 doors to your left.

Next question.

a6m5 · Mar 18, 2015

Found this at local Slowmart(new name for my Walmart) today. They must've had this sitting in the back room for many weeks. I think they put out only six or so cars out at a time. :ouch:

At least it's a chase.

AOS-
@a6m5, No because you don't possess the thing. I'm sorry for raining on your parade.

Next question.

Last time I let you see the bottom of my Siku tank. :rolleyes:

AOS- · Mar 18, 2015

Who needs tanks? I've got an Army of Tables.

Screw you, then. Out of curiosity, precisely.

To be completely honest with you, I've never actually flipped over a single Minichamps to look at the dark side. If you've ever seen a Minichamps livery, there's absolutely no reason to flip one over at all. At all. Even if you were putting the sticky tack back on.

Gotbeefboy564 · Mar 18, 2015

Got spongebob cars

Plankton dairy delivery and the spongebob and Patrick custom 52 chevy. They were the only ones on the pegs.

Gotbeefboy564 · Mar 18, 2015

Didn't know this double posted.
Going to a toy show on the 28th I'll be on the look out for Hot Wheels and other stuf if the prices are good.

I truly had never seen these. Welcome back, bamboo.

Well now you have one: to please your friend Cano.

I'd get some extra cash together first before asking for such a huge favour.

Oh! Dang you, you bamboo-shoot chewing furry animal. Space, a wife that cares enough to ask you if you are all right, and cars like that! We have mentioned your uncanny serendipitious nature before, so we won't go into it again but consider it mentioned. Urgh. Fine collectibles, though. I shall grudgingly give you that. Yes, I'm seeing red.

And now off, after some GT6 Posts, to do a certain update.
