1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Sonygamer455]

Hello guys! Been a while since I posted here again, nowadays I only post when I have something interesting to share that you won't see every day, but my collecting habits have not changed over the years.

And this time, I got these!

2 Corgi Ferrari 348TB's, new in the package. Been wanting another one of these to do a wheelswap on for years now. So much so, I gutted 2 castings for the wheels long ago and have kept them in storage for years for the sake using them on this. However, these suckers are usually expensive and/or are sold overseas and finding one for an acceptable price has been a problem for me. Fortunately, I recently found a listing for a lot of 2 of these for slightly less than the price of one. When I saw it, I could hardly resist knowing I would finally be getting one for that purpose and even better considering I'd have the added bonus of having another for keeps too, which is how I usually like to do it.

Haven't taken it apart yet, but when I can pull myself away from my Xbox long enough to do it, I'll certainly get it done. I really love collecting Corgi's and I am extremely happy to have more of these things!

Here's another that came today!

Although the item was listed as a Ford Sierra and the box also says this, the car is actually a Mercedes 2.6. I imagine the seller was not aware of this, and I can't say I blame him because this casting has no name on the bottom, but having owned 2 of these in the past, I knew what it was. This thing was pretty cheap to the point I saw little reason not to get it, especially since I like this casting a lot. This is actually the first time in 10 years I have gotten another one, and I'm always happy to add another to my collection!

I debated swapping the wheels at first, but upon receiving it, I noticed one of the wheels was stuck. Although I usually prefer to get one for keeps and another to customize, since I need to take it apart to do anything about that rolling problem, I might as well throw on a better set for this one. As much as I love Corgis, most of their wheels are pretty crappy, but that only makes swapping them out even more fun.
