I'm amazed at some of the showrooms of some members that have an obscene amount of Tamiya models in their collections. As i'm a great fan of looking at peoples collections how about a couple of pics of what you have, maybe your favorites etc. Im sure there will be more than one member with a room devoted to thier R/C cars. Me I have to stick to the dining room table until my garage is cleared as my 9 week old daughter now resides in my old spare room.

My modest little collection..

hey techie, you've got a great collection [H]

i like what you've done with the blitzer beetle too! [:)]

my collection is all in my showroom, apart from a few 1/32 scale juniors [:P]

I'd say my favorites are my sand scorcher (i love running it!), my monster beetle shelf queen (good to look at) and my txt-1 (nice to modify [:)])

I just thought i'd update my old thread and see if I can coax a few more to reply. My collection is now up to six inc the two M-03 cars, i'm currently after my third M-03 chassis car, i'm just trying to persuade an aussie member to part with it :)

Well it looks like a deal has been done and my 3rd M-03 (2nd M-03L) is winging its way to me from Australia. I managed to get myself a Toyota bB (see the showroom for a few pics) and have been contimplating already what colours to paint it as it will be built (how much of a runner im not sure yet). Decided on a two tone with the roof being silver. The main body colour will be PS18 metallic purple I think. I made a card mock up to see how the two tone would work, the purple is way off the actual colour, more like a pink..lol But it gives an idea.

The actual colour is like this..

Should look good I think, hope so these bodies arent easy t come by...eeeek.

I like to call my Tamiya collection the "Quality not quantity collection" 

My collection at the moment goes as following:

 

Mountaineer - Could be made a minter with a shell

Sand Scorcher - Runner Resto in progress

Lancia 037 Re-re - Built, Primed and waiting for paint

 

I also have:

Kyosho FW-05 - My Mildly modded club racer

Kyosho Mini Inferno ST(D[H]) - My latest acquisiton

Kyosho Mini-Z.....MR-01 and AWD - My Tuesday night racers

Traxxas Nitro Rustler - My first car

Traxxas T-Maxx - First generation now hardly wears any standard parts 

HoBao Hyper 7 PBS - Summer time offroad club racer

HARM 1/5th scale - Boss lent it to me a year ago........Sat in my room most of that too because of its **** brakes!!!!

I think thats them all....Though something gives me the feeling i've left out one or two...

 I'll try get a group shot this week end!!!

Nothing special really though - only been back into the hobby for a year or so now (after a long break). All of them are runners. Also have a Monster Beatle somewhere in my parents loft in the UK.
