Bantum's HotWheels ...

Post by Bantum » Sat Jul 27, 2013 2:53 pm

Not sure if this is in the right section, but thought I'd show you all a few of my Hot Wheels collection :

Impreza WRX STI - Black :

Impreza Blue :

Image

Impreza White :

Image

Impreza Red :

Well they're all 'My Cars' for now & will add few more later when I find them ... :)

Note : I should add that these are my more recent 'collector' items, I also have a whole lot of older stuff back home from when I was a lot younger ... :)
Will have to dig them out some time to photograph them ... :p

Cheer's, Bantum ...

more brats on ebay than you can shake a brumby at

http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from ... _PrefLoc=2

I have 1 green one and 2 orange ones :)

there is a white one with crome wheels mmmmmmmmmm... pity it is 24 dollars + 13 dollars postage

EDIT on closer inspection it is custom finshed by a collector in the USA; basically it is a green one resprayed and re tired, which makes it worthless as a collectable and more a work of art?

Mine was made in Gt Britain. 1969 patent on it. Back when a Matchbox car sold for 30 cents or so, I think this one was something like A$1.25 ??

I once had a chance to view an old guys 1:18? collection in his specially made cabinets, (complete with dust seals on the doors) - to blend with his wifes timber furniture. He had documented his expenditure - $140,000 worth ! That was a mind blowing viewing !

Display Board ...

Finally got round to installing this :

More images can be found on the procedure here :

https://photos.app.goo.gl/Vb33BVUWTQiUaWJF9

Basically I got some A2 foam core board, strips of plastic joiners from hardware store, cut them up and stuck 'em to the board + got all the bits for under $ 10 ... ! ... :) ( add : obviously not including models )

Turned out all right & it's really easy to expand - if I want to do it again ... :twisted:
