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.

Found these at the Sandown Revival yesterday

The Corvette was thrown in for free, but I feel as though I have it already.

I bought this Team Transport set over a month ago

Found these at Black Label

The Z8's interior is perfect for a 1:64 scale model.

Having picked up the Matchbox Moving Parts Acura Integra Type S HRC, which was more of a consolation prize for when I couldn't snatch that Hot Wheels Silver Series 935 Lunar New Year edition (Even though I had the opportunity to get it when it was still early, but didn't). They were both at the same price point anyway.

But I think with this and the Charger Daytona I have from last year, it felt like I made the better choice.

It's so strange because for slightly more, I could have gotten a tomica mainline. But with tomica as of lately, they've been releasing cars of varying quality. Some features are missing even though it looks like it would have it (the current Prius), and some that just look plain ugly (GR Corolla). So really, it seems like the Moving Parts series is better-looking and accurate in comparison.

Here's a comparison image I got with a discontinued WRX police car that I got years ago.
