In my debut to this thread... I don't really have a collection of 1/64 model cars, but I do have quite a few (albeit very old) 1/64 model cars. I still envision how I would complete a collection of scale cars 1/25 or north of 1/25. I also don't have such small model cars to play with any of those Hot Wheels driving sets or anything. I am not totally committed to having a vast collection of 1/64 model cars. However, it is certainly cool having these small cars to play with or enjoy adding to a collection.

By the way- that's not a bad deal to have that sweet old-style Porsche by buying some Jif.

Yeah, it's easy to go overboard with it. If they ban eBay & this thread, it'd be much more manageable hobby for me. :p

Very old 1:64 cars are best 1:64 cars. Pics.
 
I don't have any real collection of these cars, so I'm afraid I can't provide any real pictures. It also isn't as if I have any super-rare models that would sell for about as much as a well-maintained comic book or anything.
 
So if you can't take "real" photos, are you suggesting don't have real 1/64 cars? :lol:

Bird poo decal. TLV and its OTT realism never fails to impress.

They're really going all out. :lol:
Someone will be so lucky to get that one for FREE. :lol:

Lucky is an understatement. Freakin hell. :crazy:
So you did a two TLV CRXs + one Tomica Premium as well(mine's Impreza).

Funny how that worked out. :D:tup:
 
Well, while we are on the topic of Hot Wheels, allow me;

You know, I think I will keep this in its proper blister. Usually HW cars end up without a "plastic home" (so to speak) to live in, but this "little" (so to speak) Torino has a rather nice paintjob. And getting the car all dusty wouldn't be honorable to such a simple yet neat-looking livery, now would it? :sly:

The casting itself isn't anything to write home about, it's no Auto World in terms of detailing and fascia quality, but the paintjob is something AW has yet to pull off...

Also it's kinda my racing number in racing games, because unless the game allows for three digit numberplates I prefer to stick to 76 in order to remain close to Seaside Route (see what I did here?), but I bet not many give a squat about that
 
I highly disagree that paint is better than Auto World. :p

Well perhaps my intentions behind those words jumped the border of realism a tiny bit...

...but I still think the livery itself is rather nice, and it's certainly something other scale model brands haven't touched (yet). :p
 
That looks better than I thought it would. Just needs some cast lines filing away. Hope they keep the metal wing too, as that can be thinned down with a file. 👍
 
Any good brands that have a 1/64 R33 Skyline that are NOT Kyosho?


Hmmmm... I think Kyosho is the only one that makes R33s. Sure, Tamiya did 1:64 Skylines but only the R32 and R34. I have a purple R33 GT-R Autech sedan, and I got it for 10 USD locally, not online.

Unless you want to settle for Tomica models.

Well where would one get them locally? Somewhere like a hobby shop or something? Because I don't want to go spending a lot on this stuff :confused:

Here in Manila, there is a particular mall just a walk away from my home that hosts tons of hobby shops and is known as a haven for all sorts of collectors. That's where I get the majority of Kyosho 1:64s in my collection.
