"Diecast Collecting"

[WillyCamaro]

Not much for riced out cars, with stupid fart cans. But a murdered out RX, with a little bling, is something I can dig!

Blue chrome 10-spokers, on gloss black, with tan interior; sic!

'94 Mazda RX-7

[WillyCamaro]

Didn't want to parts bin him, so I gave the split-5's a shot... Surprisingly, they work!

Not my favorite wheel to work with, they work on very few rides IMHO. But in this case, they do.

[WillyCamaro]

Nows all to do, is change the interior to red, and we'll be set for the strip!

I tried once more on the Hemi Cuda and while not perfect I think it's done.
I broke part of the headlight assembly so after the glue dries I'll get a pic.

Hemi Cuda

[WillyCamaro]

Atta boy!
When one first doesn't succeed, try, try, & try again.

[Just Plain Dave]

Tried an experiment.
Painted it Meadow Green yesterday.
Today just fogged it from pretty far off with Silver Metallic.

What do y'all think?

[WillyCamaro]

Dave, certainly something I've thought about trying, myself.

It does do a good job to breakup monotonous schemes, makes it look like if the sun was reflecting off.
I think it needs some fine blending, then it'll look more natural. Almost there...

[Just Plain Dave]

Well obviously i need an Air Brush setup.
But spray bombs on the back porch is all I got.
I'm looking for a light green metallic for Ford Falcon.

Matchbox Chevy Tahoe; Seattle, WA Fire Dept; Premiere Fire Collection; 1999.

These have a level of detail that was never seen before, and never seen again. Cars are fully detailed, and in some cases, even have a detailed interior, despite basically being mainline castings. Bumpers have plastic cladding printed on, and the red flashers are installed into the grille. I've found today's premium models sort of lacking. And the funny thing--some still had their toystore price tags of $3.99, slightly less than the $5 they charge for those ugly, clunky premium models today.

I had been meaning to buy some of the Premiere emergency vehicles, and out of the blue, with another lot I'd purchased, an eBay seller gifted me six; all of which were on the list.

[Just Plain Dave]

Not expecting much I just took the Camaro out and clearcoated it.
So far so good.
I stopped at the local auto parts and asked about paint.
No green and red is a problem.
She could have got me Cobalt Blue in two weeks.
I declined.

[WillyCamaro]

Wow Cody! That really tis a stunning Tahoe!

I knew about the Premiere series, I just didn't know how good they really are! From your (excellent I might add) description, and looking from here, I'd say He's up there with Mini GT. Or, @ least equal to the best RLC releases...
I know my bro has a '69 Stingray in his collection, but I haven't had a good look @ it yet. Time to change that me tinks!
And, if I can remember correctly, they did a couple Camaro's...

Hey mate,
Head to your local hobby shop, and pickup a can of Tamiya's acrylic. You can thank me now , the stuff is the best you can buy, especially when no airbrush is available.
Bro the modeller, has 3 brushes; and he still uses their primer. Tells you how good the stuff is...

[Just Plain Dave]

Dad and I are going to Livingston in a while on a paint hunt and to get Dog stuff.

I think the can of battleship gray Tamiya I used on some RC car bodies came from Hobby Lobby, but that's been 3-4 years.

Yup Cody, every store carries a selection, over in the plastic model section...

[Just Plain Dave]

No light green metallic to be found.
Found this and had to have it.
And of course swap wheels.

[Just Plain Dave]

The Automotive paints I got seem to all need clearcoat.
But so far they take it like butter.

There you go Dave! Took a bunch of trial-and-error, but you've found what works for you.

[WillyCamaro]

I guess you're more a "cali, pimp my ride" kinda guy. I'm more a "mean, off-road machine" type.

Hey! Different stokes, for each bloke.

[WillyCamaro]

Time for a little change, expensive change, of pace...
A good brother, & fellow collector snagged this 'un for me. She's was sooooo worth the wait!

Majorette '15 GT-R

Buttoned up

[WillyCamaro]

About 75% finished, about 1000% better!

Ford Custom Bronco

[WillyCamaro]

Whitewalls on stagger'd pr's, makes for one nice setup...

'69 Camaro SS396 Convertible

[WillyCamaro]

This one is on my bucket list.
Built like the tank that they are, probably the most revelutionary design ever (everything following, has been based on it). Easy 500hp with a few mild upgrades, over 600 with bigger turbo's & cams.

Mercedes 190E 2.5-16

[WillyCamaro]

Did someone say the dictator is in da house!
