They're insanely decorative
Yes, certainly.
Got mine before prices went absolutely pants on head retarded. It's incredibly detailed

>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

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
>>28843917mirin dat innocentiTamiya wasn't selling Mini kits when I built mine so I have these instead
I put em in the collection when I see a cool one
>>28849422With the Innocenti you can put a small FA-130 motor in it and some bulbs in the lights and power it with a AA like a glorified wind up car but that's one of the last ones I'll do, it's from the 80's so I don't want to fuck it up. Mirin all those aftermarket hopups. Dunno if you heard but Tamiya announced the M05 Mini to be re-released this year, might go all in on aftermaket stuff too and see how both RC's compare.
>>28849488The NSU body came with an FWD only chassis for some reason, so I just got the body and went looking for a used rear engine chassis in the classifieds. Then I found this one with all the shiny parts, sealed off race modur, controller, remote and Honda body for 100€. Steal/10 and super overpoweredBut I don't think I'm doing another one. The current Tamiya Mini is a touring car, so it has arches but no bumpers (mine's the opposite) Have you already built any of those kits?
>>28841056Some, but not all of them. Mostly because people scalp the shit out of them. I am NOT paying $15 for a hot wheels car.
>>28849536Yeah I've built the 1.3i so far but butchered it at the end when it came to gluing it all together, I'm new to making models so thought it'd be wise to start on the cheap newer cars first. I've got the Fujimi body painted and all the parts primed for when I have a few days off.
>>28849422that made me erect
>>28849557overdoing it with the glue on your first model is a rite of passage, we've all been there
I have a 1/35 Trabant in my stash and a 1/8 Lada Niva waiting parts >>28842250I miss the Italian made Bburago cars, had a 1/24 Porsche 993, it was my favorite
>>28849619Didn't help either that I didn't know you're supposed to not paint/sand down all the joints you glue on at the end, the antenna, side mirrors and door trim were a nightmare to get to stick. Live and learn.
>>28841056I managed to get one of all but one of my cars in the correct colors and interior trim, though one has the wrong wood color for the interior trim. >>28842250>Games For Windows LiveI'm sorry for your loss.
>>28849488wow very cool
>>28841056Sadly they don't make miniatures or models of my car.
>>28849947what car do you own?

>>28849627Very nice
>>28841056YesIt started a few years ago with coworkers at their desk, and it has gone down this slippery slope.
>>28851444>bburago 1/18 F40 F50 348 ChallengeI think those were standard issue for every kid I played with BACK IN MOOYY DAYYEspecially the stickered up 348, I couldn't even even tell you if I actually had one myself or not, they were so ubiquitous
>>28841484what about think bigger?
>>28851726yup thats the one. i think i also a 1/24 version of it.I think I also got bburago>1/18 250 testarossabut i havent seen it in a while so maybe my dad never gave it to me and i cant check up rn>1/18 ferrari can am racerdont recall which one and not sure if its bburago and it has its rear wheels broken by me when i was a lil shit
:3>Can't post unless I disable uBlockAight niggas, I'm out.
>>28852235I switched from using brave with u-block as the captcha wouldn't work. Now using Firefox with no problems.
>>28851756not him but isn't that third gen
>>28852849No
I have some of the newer bburago F1 cars. They are really impressive compared to the older ones.
>>28852353Very cool
>>28841056obviously
incredibly comfy autism itt
>>28841056yeah
>>28854120>do not speak to me or my son ever again
>>28854120cute
Yes! I have a 1972 NIssan Skyline GTR on my desk at work. It is a 1:18 size, so it is pretty large. It attracts people. But I get irritated when they start touching it haha.
>>28854604haha
Not mine but the photo always makes me laugh. It's like the gondola of toy cars>just go forwards or backwards you stupid fuck!
>>28855360Usually these things go forward in a straight line and reverse in a left turn
>>28855498wat
>>28841457cute
Mine just has the Suzuki sticker kit added. So many parts available for these now.
>>28856951>1:2 scale
>>28856951I'm still baffled by how popular this thing got. It's just a tiny work truck in real life and not even sold in most western countries so why do so many westerners buy the RC version?
>>288570551/10 scale, 13½" long>>28857519Have a later model full size kei truck. I saw a few YouTubes on this and people were raving about it. Was cheap enough, so I hit the 'buy' button. No regrets, It's fun in the house, delivering cans of drink etc. and can drift it on the kitchen floor. Will also work on my lawn as long as it's not too long.
>>28857580>Will also work on my lawnSo you will you strap razor blades on a drone motor and put this underneath the drift truck so you can use it as a lawn mower?
>>28857600don't do it if you don't know what you're doing. those blades could easily become projectiles if not attached well to that motor
>>28857580I just realized I have almost all of those scales present with only one exception. Multiple 1/35, not 1/32 like in that chart.
>>28857600Great idea!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x36XCKYH6eM>>28857606British manufacturers used to use this scale. Old Airfix and Scalextric cars were done in 1/32
>>28857613Yeah the 1/35 scale models I have are pretty much all really old 80s models that back then were only available at the Mercedes dealers and were still made in Germany and not China or anywhere else. They rally give me those comfy nostalgia feels.And yes, apparently 1/35 is popular among military scale models
>>28857613I couldn't stop watching that. There's an update with the cars all detailed up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47UNLWzN9o
>>28857613>>28857695Semi related but I need a 1/8 Excavator in my life to sit down and watch it do menial garden choreshttps://youtu.be/5KKa4GKjUfY?si=WMA4koC_-V6fC62r&t=615
>>28856472it's an anon forcing a meme about cars being gas chambers
>>28856951noice
Yeah, I have probably almost all of them (only a few actually exist though) in my car's color.1. Tomica (smallest)2. Official nissan model (mid)3. RC car (largest)Unfortunately, the previous grade of my car got most of the memorabilia and there are models out the ass for that version.

consider this. If we all ride wheel chairs for the future, then the white american nazi gas chamber police loses their ability to herd bodies in to gas chambers.

Yes
1/8 is such a stupid big scale, the Lada will be completed sometime in 20271/18 for scale
>>28865531Monstrously fucking giga based
Oppressive car
>>28865531406 is a lovely car
>>28866636I've heard they had really bad electronic issues
>>28867897Very few, at least not on the early ones. The second versions received multiplexing, so there can be a few issues, but nothing that would immobilize the car or cost a lot to repair.If you really want to find a flaw, it’s the gearbox control, which is awful, and the automatic gearbox can be fragile (often because it’s poorly maintained since it was sold as “lifetime lubricated,” even though we all know that’s nonsense).
