1/64 Model Collectors Thread

I kinda guessed that would be the case. It's probably better (and obviously cheaper) to go for a stock Iron Mask anyway.

They are nice too, but yes, much cheaper.

Hey, that's my his line! I've always believed that if you put Duke Togo, Heero Yuy, Chirico Cuvie and Sosuke Sagara in the same room, the amount of elipses used would match that used in all Square Enix games. Yes, that much...

I did used to play Dragon Quest(Enix, before the merger with Square), and I think you are right about the ellipsis.

Also, @a6m5, really digging that Gemini, the oddball factor and the Lotus factor make it a nice choice for a sedan. The Prince garbage truck is cool as well, love that the front grille and the headlamp mould have the exact same shape. 👍 And the name fits well with something else related to me (my PSN account, perhaps? )...

Ah, the PSN tag. To be honest, I never cared for the front end on the Clipper, but it sure is growing on me. It's becoming one of those so bad, so good.

I always thought these GTOs may be the most finely sculpted of Greenlight castings. IMO, it surpasses most TLVs & Kyoshos. In my collection, off the top of my head, it is the best, the best, #1, it is the best 1/64 car, Dallas Cowboys!, volunteer firefighters, baby photos, they are the best!

I have a couple, but this is my favorite:

They are #1.

Ahhhh, I missed the mooing lamborghini collection.

Indeed. I second this.

Wood panelling does freakin rock though.

I hope TLV people don't read this. I like wood paneling on the right casting, but not on the new GT-Rs. Actually, it would make excellent April Fools joke. Somebody should do this.

That Land Cruiser doe.

I think we are all looking forward to that one!

Good 'ol Greenlight. They either hit (GTO) or miss (80% of their other products). Makes you wonder if they have different designers for each casting like Hot Wheels so you have cars that look great (Jun Imai comes to mind for HW) and others that are just weird. (whoever designed the new McLaren P1 HW car for example)

 

[a6m5]

You just can't let that go, can you? P.S. Here is the worst casting of a real car, ever.

For once, me & Cano's in agreement.

Pretty sure that one is not meant to be realistic.

I figured, I guess being stock-looking has its advantages. Tuning can increase value if done right...

I did used to play Dragon Quest(Enix, before the merger with Square), and I think you are right about the ellipsis.

Ah, the brilliant world of stoic characters: No one can complain about their dialogue if they only speak in elipses, right?

Ah, the PSN tag. To be honest, I never cared for the front end on the Clipper, but it sure is growing on me. It's becoming one of those so bad, so good.

Hey, you figured it out, here's a cookie. You didn't like it? Oh well, can't please everybody with these old designs, you either love how quirky they are or you hate the stupid details they have sometimes. But since it's growing on you, I'd say you're leaning towards the "Like it" side...

Also, have you seen the Scale Model thread? I posted a few pictures of the Feng there, in case you didn't know.

 

[a6m5]

Obviously, but I can not find the words to describe how wrong that looks. I can't. Thank god for the Matchbox on that one I guess.

@Niku Driver HC - I'll check them out. 👍

 

[Johnny1996]

Well guys, I'm not too happy right now. First I find out that both of my model locomotives have a problem with them. After I put those away, I noticed that my Stake Truck from today has some blister damage, so that's being uncarded. Then, I find out that one my my 510 Wagons has a mesh grille and the other doesn't. One of them is uncarded already.

Tonight is not my night.

Good, I already see that you did check it out. 👍

That is one very bad chain of happenings for one night... Mismatched Datsuns, blister damage and problems (which, by the way?) with locomotives. You might consider avoiding black cats and all that other bad luck jazz for a while...

One locomotive has running issues, the other a coupler issue.

Every so often I have bad nights like tonight. Basically, its nothing new.

Well then, I guess it is not surprising for you to have these sort of nights. And even the locomotives have different issues? Boy, everything was a mismatch just for you, no?

Yeah really. Hopefully it gets better.

Holy crap you weren't kidding, my poor eyes.

Edit: Paid for the Delta and IDx order this morning, hopefully they will be shipped out in the next day or two. Looking forward to getting my hands on the Nissan. 👍

 

[a6m5]

@Spacegoat I'm looking forward to my IDx. NEXT YEAR!

It can seem that way sometimes. Roll with the punches!

 

[Spacegoat]

@Spacegoat I'm looking forward to my IDx. NEXT YEAR!

That's because of all the back-orders you place.

 

[CodeRedR51]

@Cano you still want Texas Drive'em cereal car?

This what I have with what pieces I currently have. (Let me know if nothing shows up)

100% Non-Beads Kyoshos

The original location will hold like 10 larger rows. This spot on the wall is temporary.

The simple cross beam structure strengthens the thing many-folds. It doesn't warp despite the amount of weight it's holding up now.

The beam traveling down the center of the platform is not a final design. It is a temp workaround for the lack of pieces I have ATM.

But other than that, that's the triangular frame pushing off the wall to support the platforms.

===================

Also, this came in today:

Probably not worth as much being Factory Sealed?

Either way, finally got one!

 

[yabiggoose]

Nice datto.

 

[Spacegoat]

Very cool wall display, looks great. The Datsun too. 👍

 

[Cano]

@Cano you still want Texas Drive'em cereal car?

Sorry dude, wasn't around. Yeah I'd still like one. You think you can still find it?

EDIT: Damn,, I didn't like the idea at all in the first place but that display looks way cooler than I ever thought it would, Andy 👍

 

[Andrew R]

Just found the Datsun wagon and a yellow RX7 at Coles but didn't grab them. Have a feeling I'll regret that decision.

 

[SVX]

That wall display is freakin' sweet.

There are 3 at a local store for $4 each. I can grab one tonight if they are still there.

Freakin' Thanks, y'all.

Wait until I assemble the whole thang. Minds will be blown.

2009 British Sports Car Collection



'95-'96 McLaren F1 GTR



All that remains is the metallic red or whatever. The F1 GTRs are also one of those other Kyoshos assembled really poorly. Crooked wing, lifted front suspension, and defective wheel and/or tire... ugh.​

 

[Cano]

Yes! Please grab all three if you can (:

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Found a surprise at a Target plus a few more b case cars.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yes! Please grab all three if you can (:

They can probably go in the same box since I haven't shipped it yet.

 

[Cano]

Ah, lol, I was gonna ask about that. Yeah if you find them put them there, have space to put them in still carded?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I still need to find a box that will work for everything.

 

[Cano]

I still need to find a box that will work for everything.

Oh, I see. Well then tell me tonight how many you found so I can tell you if you can open them or not please

 

[Avalonbug]

Idk if anyone has seen this yet, but OH. MY. GOD. WANT.
