@koni4jolv Thankyou! The BMW is a 1/24 Tamiya plastic static kit, aimed to represent a works touring car (complete with decals that are diagrams of the mechanicals of the car) - I have always liked the older Bburagos :) Esp the Rolls Royce Camargue they did early on...
Thankyou! The 635 was one of my earlier models (completed mid-2005), and I enjoyed building it - the decals were a mission, and there were many clear-coats involved to seal them all in!
Again, very cool collection- i have a white version of that yellow #11 Fiat Punto a buddy of mine actually bot for me in Italy- thats sorta been a thing lately, getting scale vehicles from different states- sorta makes it a 'different collecting' as well.
I try to collect different makes/models/colors of vehicles as well- not just single branded collector.
Thankyou! My Punto's in bits at the moment, and about to get a respray :)
Hey an interesting approach about the different states - I am often building muscle cars (21 of them completed so far, all except the Corvair have V8 engines!) and what I aim for each one to have decal plates representing a different state - I'm aiming at 50!
i love your collection! I too collect 1/24 scale cars. I have recently starte and a i have about 20. I have a lot of other scale cars though. Like today i got a 1/18 Lamborgthini Murcielago and Gallardo for my bday but i like 1/24 because they arent to big or too small.
Thankyou!!! I like the 1/24 scale because of its model availability, particularly in the plastic kits - I do collect 1:18 too (Which I will be doing a vid on as I have 40 of them in that size!)
I actually prefer the bigger ones, but when i find a car i like - wether it be a hotwheels, 1:24 or larger, i get it, altho im running out of room.....before i moved my bedroom was nearly floor to ceiling all 4 walls covered in shelves with them- i still probably have about 30 of them left back home. The only thing about my stuff is theyre still all in their original boxes- it keeps the dust off em.
I definitely will be buying an Aussie Ford and a Holden in 1:18 (I collect that scale also), but I've never encountered a 1:24 Aussie kitset that I could build though... Ah well, theres enough American and Japanese models I haven't built up yet that will keep me going for the next year or so!
I suggest a Holden Torana SLR5000, Pure Muscle.. Holden Kingswood Monaro.. There is an Aussie Magazine called Street Machine, Its Probably on the Web.. Top place to see some Aussie Cars Pimped out.. Whats your Fav car.
I've got a few issues of Street Machine, but one I read frequently is "Australian Muscle Car" (you would have seen it - it focuses on race specials from yesteryear, and anything Ford Holden and Chrysler) - Fav car hmmm... Thats a v.hard one as there's so many I like!
i heve another question.. what spray gun are you ussing and what kind of paint?? i mean brands.. cos some paints are not for plastic right? what paint is good for plastic?
Actually I use normal rattlecans at the moment! The end result comes out fine though!
As for paint on plastic - use a primercoat first - putting spraypaint straight onto plastic sometimes does affect the surface, as for brands, I use Plastikote, available from most hardware stores.
The Caprice (this one's the "Impala" sport model) I think Revell still makes the kit, I'm not too sure - that particular one I picked up cheaply in a run-out sale of product that had been on the shelves for several years - If you look closely you'll see I placed a surplus Pontiac Firebird bird decal on its hood!
The interest started when I was 15 (ten years ago now), but I really got interested when I was 23, and got involved in plastic kits...
...Hatchbacks, yes there are a few in my collection -In particular a Fiat Punto (doesn't appear in this vid however) and THREE Cinquecentos, Toyota Yaris/Echo, Scion XB, two New VW Beetles, a Mazda 323 (I have a vid of it being built on Youtube) and a Honda Integra (also on Youtube)...
It does appear in this but not the most clearly - I could send you pics of the car if you wish, my particular one is the 3-door hatchback version (actually its a diecast, and painted in a weird cyan-aqua colour) and has a pullback clockwork motor hidden under the rear seats! - Is your one a plastic kit?
Thats all gd - No, I haven't got 500 but there are a fair few that did not appear in this vid... ...you going to put your collection up for us to see???
I've been collecting since 1997 - however the 'plastic modelling bug' hit me at the start of 2005 - and since then the collection has grown quite rapidly!!!
lols... ive colleted 4 plastic modelling but i fail 3 out of 4... the 1st one i bought was Evolution 6 then 7, the 3rd one is MR2 finally the last 1 which is a pick up truck "toyota hilux". its a old model one. Anyway ive thought of doing the same video processing like you and i was thinking maybe im going to fail again but it turned out to be good lols...
At the end of the day its all practice, trial and error... - Yep, a few have stuffed up bigtime in the past, but I always revisit and fix them later on (the red Jeep that appears briefly at 0.16 was a case in point - it took a year and a half - I admit was inexperienced when I began with it and actually left it for a long time - to go from bare model to a satisfied with finished product!)
alright then ill try revisit my MR2 again haha... ill post it up and video response for you wen im done.. might take quite a long time yea... thanks for de advice man...
At the very least a model with box would be worth the same as what I paid for it - however I intend keeping these cars for a fair while yet - I'd daresay (due esp to a fair few of these cars not being available anymore as models) there could be some return-on-investment!
The metal ones sell (over in NZ) normally between £5 and £10 (when converted from NZD to quid) while the bare plastic ones unusually are dearer, between £10 and £20 (The Ford Escort Mk2 RS1800, at $68 NZD was the most expensive one, esp as it was imported - and it was unbuilt!)
Yeah, they're quite hard to find! Maisto produced them in the 90s. The Voyager is an odd one, as its back doors only open (they slide and are made of plastic), and the tailgate (there is not much space with the third row!). As for the Explorers, I have two (both appear in this vid), a '92 (which I bought back in 1997 - and runs on Firestone tyres lol!) and a 95' - the differences being the external bodyshells and dashboards, everything else being identical!
The Diecasts are mostly Bburago and Maisto (a few Welly's too), whereas the plastic models are mostly Tamiya, Aoshima and AMT - with a few Revells as well.
Wow, thats a cool collection of cars! It's really hard to spray paint those buildable cars. I tried once, and failed. I love your collection of cars. I have a collection of numerous cars on the 1/18th scale and 1/24th scale. Nice Video!
The soundtrack of this (actually mentioned in the description) is "The Machines of B" by Jordan Reyne, a New Zealand solo alternative industrial rock songwriter singer/songwriter - She has a website where this song, and a number of others of hers can be downloaded full-length.
The collection began slowly in 1997 with the diecasts - but it was late 2004 when the collection really started to grow - when I built up skills with plastic kit modelling and spray painting - and its been growing ever since and is continuing to do so!!!
OMG! Now that is awsome! 10 years! Some might call you crazy, but for me this is amazing. I have a small collection of my own. Consists of ~130 cars collected in 6 years.
But you have such cars! Never knew anyone made models of those, some cars I even can't name...
Thankyou - Yes, there are a few that think I am crazy - but when the initial purchase price of a diecast (plastic kitsets cost a little more) is what some pay for cigarettes (ick!) its money well spent! - As for the cars, I'll collect/build anything 1/24-1/25 scale but I do like to find ones that don't appear normally as models (ie Alfa Romeo sedans, Toyota Echo)!!!
You say you have 130 cars - put them up, I (and there would be many others) would be interested to see them!
Thankyou - Ah, the Countach! - I liked the styling so much I have two of them in 1/24 scale - one the red 1978 LP500 (A Tamiya, which is actually motorized, and scarily incredibly fast when running!) and a 1988 Quattrovalvole, which I painted up to be all black and stealth like!
Hey mate, thankyou! - I don't have a Holden yet in 1/24 scale, esp as the Holdens tend to be thin on the ground in kit form!!! However, I hope to lay my hands on the AMT/Ertl '04 Pontiac GTO (Monaro Clone) soon...
Different places - most notably department stores and yes, toy shops! - Where I am, the main cities also have hobbyshops specializing in automotive modelling.
As for your cars, yes I have seen both a Grand Nat (definitely would like to build up a model of one of those someday, and the Chevy Monte Carlo 'Aero' version) and 67' Mustang (i've modelled a '66 and a '68 thou) as kits...
The one with the black hood is actually a 2000 Subaru Impreza WRX, diecast Maisto - I'd definitely like to build a Civic though! - Pleased yas like the collection (and there is more cars on the way).
Ah yes, I have seen over the net a 1/24 Civic coupe (looks the 96) made by REVELL.
Interestingly, a model I have in the pipeline atm is a modded '96 Honda Orthia (Aoshima), a stationwagon based off the '96 Civic platform and styled very similar to how a '96 Civic wagon would have looked if they had made one!
Ah! - Yes and No - there's a few here that are 'pre built', but the majority are plastic kits (in a hideous sea of grey plastic bits when in an unassembled state!). As for the 'pre built' ones, lets just say a fair few of those have been pulled apart in their time, detailed left-right-and centre, then put back together again!
nice collection BMW 6th series at 0.15 is great is it really 1/24 and from which manufacturer?
And those old buragos are great love them.
