1/64 Model Collectors Thread

[Swara]

I got a Red R34. I'll post pics later.

Very nice grab on that XJR-9, Shinji. I never saw that one in 3 different eBay stores I browsed for Kyoshos.

I've had 3 of those red 288's. One is in my display cabinet, and the other two donated their wheels.

(gasp) *gunshot*

Love the pics Ando 👍. is the red car a custom of yours?

If it was a custom, I wouldn't be posting it here, now would I? It's a Mitsubishi Eclipse Tooned. Thought you guys know about this casting.


Also, get another load of these:

Found this one randomly in TRU. It was the only one in the store yet I don't think they've ever had a shipment of these Hot Wheels Slick Rides.

A neat little ol '56 Buick Century. It's upright crammed posture looks cute.

Impressive! Hontouni sugoi desu yo!

.... *gunshot*

Those cars could really use a nicer display. I think you should do something about that. 👍

 

[Cano]

Are those yours, Torque?

 

[TorqueHappenS08]

Are those yours, Torque?

Yes cano, why?

 

[Cano]

Because cool stuff, why don't you visit here more often?

 

[MedigoFlame]

Nice models Torque!

Stopped by TRU and they actually had the E case stuff!

Got all shortcards, including the Circle Trucker T-Hunt on a short card.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

My $17 trio of Kyosho 512BB LMs arrived today apparently after I got back down to school.
Now I have to wait until Friday to salivate all over them.
My mom sent me this picture.

The only thing I have to add today is that I stopped by my local Target last night. Still nearly empty pegs, scanned a car and still nothing in the back room. Getting a bit annoyed that they haven't stocked anything new for weeks.

 

[AOS-]

Almost done both of them.

It fits 84 cars because I decided to add more height clearance per slot so I will have room for any of the taller vehicles. I forced the backing out a bit by making the depth larger than I have room for to fit slightly wider cars.[/color]

 

[McZachenF1138]

How much did that cost?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I need to re-do the shelving in my Nissan display. Just don't feel like taking hours to do it.

 

[AOS-]

How much did that cost?

Let's see....

Deep picture frame: $20
Foamcore 20"x30": $1.25

Will need a Bristol board sheet or two: $1-2.

Total: $22.25-$23.25 (+13% tax)... for 84 cars. Not entirely bad.

Congrats!

Speaking of, where did you get your Kyoshos for so cheap, Mickey McNoname?

 

[McZachenF1138]

taaachi

 

[AOS-]

Thanks yo. My recent purchases were from daboxtoys, webwin88 who does free shipping, and wzlucky who is an okay seller, some of his items can't be combined for shipping and I wasn't aware so I ended up having to pay more.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Picked this up today, I don't know if it's rare or not but I like it.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Not really, been out for a while.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

That's probably good, means I can enjoy it.

 

[Anathema]

Finally got a shot set of my opened cars that I played with when I was younger;

In order of appearance:

First picture - Ferrari Enzo, Toyota Celica Pikes Peak Rally, white Mustang convertible, yellow Mustang convertible, Cadillac Cien, Lotus Esprit, Ballistik.


Second picture - Blue sparkly Mercedes 380 SEL, pink sparkly Mercedes 380 SEL, Ferrari 575 Maranello Race Car, AMG-Mercedes CLK-DTM, Chevrolet Chevelle, Chevrolet Camaro Z28.

Third picture - Green/blue "Clone Racing" R32, red #3 Japan R32, gold Konig Civic Si, red Civic Si.

Fourth picture - White "G-Force" Porsche 911, Shelby Cobra Concept, Aston Martin V12 Vantage, customized Mercury Cougar.

Sixth picture - Weirdest color combination car I have, it's a Mazda MX-5 Miata with green, purple, yellow, and orange - with the noisy wheels, I do not know the name. (The Porsche above also has them.)

Ninth picture - a Baltimore Orioles themed Corgi Mustang casting, I got this from a relative who lives in the Baltimore area.

Tenth picture, and the one I abused the most - a Toyota Celica Turbo Tomica casting, 1/62nd scale, (c) 1979. No idea where this one came from, and I'm wondering what you all think of it.

I took single pictures of the ones that I thought would be the most interesting to you all, focusing on the detailed Chevelle and Maranello, along with the odd-man-out cars I have.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Edit: Hey Jason, I'll take the three 911 GT2s, the three Charger SRT8 Drift cars, the MB Challenger SRT, the Three CTS-Vs, the two BMW E92 M3s, and the silver, green and yellow Gallardo Superleggras. Do you also have a spare yellow S2K and a 370Z Z34 as well?

Let me know if you have anything planned for the cars for your display or projects, but if not, add those to my box. Thanks

Oh yeah, I'll also take the blue GT500 SuperSnake, the GT40, the white Gran Torino Talledega, the VW Sorricco GT and the MB GT500 Convertible.

I can mark these off tonight.

Which "cars for your display" do you speak of? Anything in my frame displays isn't going anywhere.

All I seriously plan to do is give the Celica a touch-up - strip the paint, and redo it in a nice shade of red. I'm thinking that that specific Mustang came out of a 5-pack, the white Mustang also was in that pack. Not sure what else was in there, I'm missing a lot of my cars from the past with no idea where they are. I'm sure they're in a box somewhere, will take a look.
