1/64 Model Collectors Thread

If you can that is. US buyers will obviously have to pay less for shipping.

I'm not expecting to spend anywhere near that amount Cano. The lot may go that high, but what if I'm lucky enough that lot hunters don't find this? I also hope none of you guys will be a dick and grab it all for yourself either now that I linked you all.

@Cano
First: Is that Bigfoot from here

Dam you. Now I have to buy one of these and is the car you were after that Blue Rolls Royce Sedan above the thing car Cano?

Don't worry about me, I'm broke now.

is the car you were after that Blue Rolls Royce Sedan above the thing car Cano?

No, Ben. And it's sad because the Rolls is missing the hood. The guessing game is still on people. The cookie can be seen from miles away.

 

[Spacegoat]

No, this is awesome!

That's not very fair, that's real. Beautiful car though.

Alright how about the orange car, to the right of the dune buggy?

 

[commodoreben]

I cant believe that I didnt see the Rolls is missing its hood. Is it the brown Corvette in the back row?

 

[Cano]

haha, no...

And no. I'm starting to think I could easily frame all of you

 

[McZachenF1138]

Silver car on the far left!

 

[commodoreben]

For my last guess im going to say its the skip truck

 

[Cano]

Dude wat. No and no. Am I really going to have to let Wyvern say it? It's the only car in there worth a damn. I mean, you people haven't even mentioned the redline in there.

Ok, here is the one clue that will blow it out of the water: it's mint.

 

[Nessy]

What, the boat? i must have had about 3 of them when i was younger, they were pretty much 10 a penny over here (easily found).

[EDIT]

I'm guessing that's a red herring Cano, as the boat is missing it's engine.

[EDIT..again]

Because (i think ) i'm so special, i deserve at least 7 guesses.

1) the Renault at the front.
2) The Fall guy truck.
3) That 6 wheeled truck with the gun on top.
4) the fire truck with undamaged ladder.
5) Swamp boat thingy.
6) the Alfa

 

[Cano]

Haha, oh dear. Not a single one of them. Come on dude, the Alfa? That thing is worthless.

Wyvern, please do the honors.

 

[Nessy]

Really? damn, i thought it would be one of them.
Okay final guess: The orange American car in between the green buggy and the Vauxhall concept car thingy.
Or the Mustang behind it.
Or maybe even the Pontiac upfront.
Or the MB Challenger.

 

[Cano]

yeah, you can mention the entire lot You have mentioned the car, but after like 12 guesses, so you don't get not even a single chocochip.

 

[Nessy]

Just give me the damn cookie already!

*The cookie you give me must contain at least 12 chocolate chips*

 

[AOS-]

Don't worry about me, I'm broke now.

Okay then. Guess I'll pass it up.




Does anyone have a Matchbox Ford RS200, red Aston Martin DBS Volante they're willing to sell?

 

[Sonygamer455]

Hmmm, some PS1 classics or any SNES or N64 games? If not, some action figures?

What?!?!?! Were do you get the idea im getting things like that? This isn't even the thread for that! It is something Hot Wheels, not going to reveal what it is until i get it, i know you will like it.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Could it be the Speed Machine Mustang Stocker...

*fingers crossed

Now, you'll have to know which car that is

============================================
Off-topic

Is there a non-racing video game thread on GTP?? I know, I could search...

I was enamored with RPGs for the Dreamcast, PS1 and PS2.

The Console & PC Gaming section is your best bet.

Do you do anything outside this thread, DiabolicPanda?

Come on, you know it is. The car looks like this:

It is a very very rare, one-year-only version of the car, which should be around $20 in mint condition, which mine is. When I bought the lot I was like "looks to be in nice shape, I hope it is", but the damned thing is an absolute blister pull, it doesn't have one single micro. Pics will come soon.

Also, to Wyvern:

Do you do anything outside this thread, DiabolicPanda?

I don 't think he does anything beside small cars at all :0

I play Cat and Mouse every night except Thursday and in the mornings on Saturday and Sunday.

You can see me here.

I just started running in this room last week.

When the weather is cold enough here and I'm not under the weather, I snowboard.

In the spring and summer, I cycle 35-40 miles a night.

All dat and you don't customize more cars.

My father gave me a dremel 4000 and a MASSIVE accessory kit for Christmas. I am working out what all the bits do on test cars before I jump into projects I care about.

 

[Cano]

Ah, very cool. If you have questions about the bits, ask away, I have a few myself and have put them to good use lately.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ok, wasn't going to share this until it was finished but I figure it's best to get opinions first before I finish it, so if changes need to be made it's easier. Don't look into this too much as it's probably not going to start any time soon as I just don't have the cash to start a business. But I may start with cars I have already and try to work up to buying a case at a time and see where it goes.

Anyway, I need opinions on the layout, colors, etc. Is it easy to navigate?

[AOS-]

Some dummy thumbnail pictures on pages would've been nice so we know how that part of the navigation is like, but so far it's fine. If you're interested in making your site more engaging and pretty to look at, Adobe InDesign CS6 allows you to publish webpages that have lots of neat little interactive stuff like small animations and other visually appealing things:

Maybe it's just your age group, but imo, webpages that suck people in need to look prettier than gray pages. If you want to make your pages stand out more from other websites people sell their diecast cars, make it look different- make it look special and highly recognizable.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'd like to keep it simple, actually.

 

[AOS-]

You can keep things simple and yet make it look super attractive. going the extra half mile of added something so minute as animated text when you click or mouse over it can make your site that much more appealing.


so what exactly are you intending to do with this site anyhow? It's more than just posting your customs I say that for sure.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Well it's something I would like to do, but for now it's just something for me to work on in my spare time.

And what's that software cost anyhow?
