They're insanely decorative
Yes, certainly.
Got mine before prices went absolutely pants on head retarded. It's incredibly detailed
Butt
1/18 turd gen I have
>priced out of nice real cars>now even priced out of nice scale carsI hate scalpers so much it's unreal
I've got a handful of hot wheels on my desk below my monitors. I'll pick up one or two if I see a cool one by the checkout at the grocery store. Checking Walmart or toy stores is useless as they've always been picked clean by scalpers, leaving only the shitty original designs. I've also built a few Lego cars.
Sorry, but miniature version of car on the dash has been classified as a ricer objects, along with the following:>custom shift knob>phone mount for android>dash cam>custom floormats>mudflaps>rain protectors on windows>seat covers>metal pedal covers>little tree air freshener>roof box
I printed my car
>>28841056They gave me one of those when my dad bought a brand new twingo. The toy car outlasted the real thing.I think I might still have it somewhere at my parents place, maybe.
>>28841194Why don't you just 3d print them? A printer is like 300 usd
>>28841056No, but before I had a real car I LOVED models.
>>28841062That is nice, how much?
>>28841063They made a turbo Testarossa? Holy shit what a nightmare, these things can't go 1,000 miles dead stock.
Not quite the same, but close nuff.
I've got a miniature 2004 Vespa in my fish tank.
i got a couple dirt bikes on my desk, this one is close to my heart because its what i learned to ride with my dad. Miss you dad
yeh
>>28841469This is nice too, is it a real chain?
>>28841056I have never found a 1:64 scale second gen legacy wagon :(
>>28841378use a bit more sanding and some paint but other than that it's right wicked m8
>>28841481its plastic but it does move with the wheel
>>28841390>just 3dprint bro!you still need skills to either 3d model or at least know how to print well and not end up with a cloud of plastic noodles. also you need to know how to cleanup and paint well or it will look like utter shit
>>28841449I paid a bit over 100 with a mirror I had to glue back on but now they can fetch over 300 which is insane
>>28841899It's not that hard.
>>28841467That's fantastic.People tend to forget how you can use small scale models as props for scenes like this
>>28841056I have a few on my desk along with viper not in picture. Rest of it is mostly in boxesIve also got intake manifold on my desk partially as decor.>>28841378Kino I wanna 3d print some car parts as decor
>>28841451Koenig was fueled by pure cocaine
I have this badboy as 1/18
>>28841984the pubes on the desk really gives it a certain flair
>>28841984Nice, is that a Bburago? I still have some of those too
Extra car models Ive got, sadly dont have better photos apart from when I photographed my physical game collection.I have many more desu.>>28842233well if i cleaned my desk id be accused of staging>>28842235nope its by revell. I had this in my possesion since like 2019 and still havent finished.I do have a bunch of bburago ferraris though.
>>28842250Based
>>28841899>>>/tg/97531233^start here^
>>28841056I still have the ones from when I was a kid. I was always partial to aircraft, though.>>28841445Same, but again, more so aircraft than cars. A fighter (P-51, F-86, Spitfire, Dr. I etc.) was $3-5 versus a car which was $8-12. Now I spend my money on better models as opposed to cheap ones, but the urge to get cheap stuff for old time's sake is still within me.Picrel is the newest one that I have finished. It will be entered into a competition in a special handicap category, which only allows brush painting. I need to order my standard category stuff soon.
>>28843403That's lovely
>>28841899you should have built these skills as a child with revell and amg models
>>28843403>>28842272sovl
>>28843572>revellbased knower
>>28843889Now I want an invisible V8 engine
>>28843572>amgAMT, which by the way is an acronym for their original business...>Aluminum>Model&>ToyThey are owned by Round 2 Corp. now who also sell MPC (Model Plastics Corporation), Lindberg, Hawk, Johnny Lighning, AutoWorld and Polar Lights.Revell lost my business when they shut their Chicage factory down circa 2018. It is now owned by the Atlantis company whose goal is to make modelling accessible to kids again. I see their stuff at Ace, Rose's and Ollie's a lot. https://atlantis-models.com/>>28843568>>28843867Thank you. By the way, (bit of a shameless shoutout), but I am the OP to /smg/ on /toy/ and we are having a group build focused on Japan. You guys are more than welcome. (P.S: Aoshima have car kits that go together like Bandai Gunpla kits now, so they just snap together and are molded in color, but I still recommend painting them). Pretty sure they have all of the /o/ classics too (Toyobaru, Miata, Lan Evo, WRX, etc.)That is, in case anyone is interested.
I have a bunch, also a Tamiya MB-01 RC Mini
I drive a newer year, but my little sister got me a small lego model of an old Abarth that I keep on my work desk. I wish I could be buying the Goodsmile models to set up somewhere, but those are still a bit too pricy for me. I've got some old busted hotwheels redlines set up at my house too, but those are hardly a display piece with the condition they're in
>>28841056>Do you have miniatures of your carI do actually
>>28841058Sexo
my brother made a model of my car
>>28846006Is that a euro plate? does that mean you have to bribe your country to get your car passed inspection? That's what some french guy told me that all enthusiast cars are technically illegal but are passed anyways because the inspectors are bribed.
>>28846036it's a UK plate, i'm sure there's a garage somewhere who could be bribed but it would probably affect their business in the long-term.>That's what some french guy told me that all enthusiast cars are technically illegal but are passed anyways because the inspectors are bribed.that sounds like bullshit regardless of the country.
>>28846041That used to be a thing but the "proper" MOT places are all lo-jacked now and have to play within the rules.
>tfw couldn't afford tamiya
>>28846044They're fitted with theft-recovery devices? Dude, I don't know. If someone manages to haul off a whole-ass building without the owner knowing, I think they kinda earned it.
>>28841056Bought it while they still made them, like it more than the shitbox itself
>>28846359I bet you'd like your shitbox more if you had it on big chunky tires like that.
>>28846361I'd like it more if it were rust free and rwd like the toy, probably be faster if it was pullback too
>>28846363A full size pull back car would be pretty sweet but a spring under that much tension would probably destroy the whole thing if it gave out
>>28846365That's half the fun.
>>28841056Yes!I have too many of them honestlyI collect so much of them>>28841457Check out Tomica for a lot of the Kei truck stuff
>>28846036Just dont cut off your cat.
>>28846036Holy mutt.
>>28846359a qt
>>28846006You have an awesome brother. How did he make the windscreen?
>>28846905Cut it out from the runner, sanded and filed to fit. Just like every other model.
>>28846934Neat
