What's in your collection ?

Ultima Ratio · April 30, 2005

Well, I have only 2... but I started last week ;-) !

Would be curious to see how many cars do you guys own ? (how many of any types, trucks, buggy...).

I'm new to this hobby and just curious to see how serious it can be when you get the bug .

Hi

i have a Tamiya TL01, Fighter buggy, Hummer and a Wild dagger

scoobs · April 30, 2005

You should just browse through members' showrooms to see what they have...

yannick · April 30, 2005

I have a TA04, TA03F PRO, TB01 and soon a Subaru Brat []

mrlexan · April 30, 2005

I agree with browsing the showrooms, I cannot even remember what my collection is up to these days, must less being able to type them all out in a post. I think most of the memebers are in the same boat.

Stefan(2) · April 30, 2005

tru, (losing track) but, i did found a solution to that

My little brother ehhmm, well... little.. still my little

brother anyway, is a IT guy..

So he made me a database program,

all the cars are in there, with for me important info,

direct links to the digital manual, and, work in progress,

a direct overview for all the parts i have in stock for that

model.

(as soon it is 100% functional, the program will be there for

everyone)

It is designed to co-exist beside your TC showroom.

He even going to include the maintenence of the little webshop

i am starting up lol and a backup option with a server (???)

Back to topic ->

me, around the 100 models. And a view on his way at this moment.

Well, since i still donÂ´t have a Paypal account, iÂ´m not able to become a full subscriber yet, and therefore, iam not able to show the cars in a showroom, but hopefully i will get along to getting an account soon.

The cars i have "collected" so far, sums up to about 40 i guess..

Let me see, how many of them i can remember, sitting here....

Tamiyas first, (of course): Subaru Brat, Midnight Pumpkin, Sand Scorcher, Grasshopper 1, Hornet, Monster Beetle, Blitzer Beetle, Stadium Thunder, 2 Clod Busters, TXT-1, Wild Willy 1, Wild Willy 2, Wild Willy 2 Metallic NIB, Blitzer Beetle NIB, Globe Liner w. tank trailer, TA-03F, TA-04S, TRF 415, and a Rough Rider and a Super Champ on their way in. Also an AE TC3 Factory team. and of course. a B4..

Kyosho: Scorpion/Beetle racer, Mini ultima 1/20 NIB.

Tenth Technology: Predator 4WD x 2. A Robbe Pantera 1/8 nitro, and a Thunder Tiger Silver Fox 1/8, and finally a HoBao Hyper 7 1/8...

Besides these few models, there are probably also a few that has been forgotten here. LOL...

Hope i get my PP-account up and running soon, so i can be a "proper" member...

Cheers.

Michael

mr_pushrod · April 30, 2005

I could list mine but I'd be here a while, lol. Check the link in my sig and you'll see most of the stuff I have.

Ultima Ratio · April 30, 2005

well, I have browsed the showrooms already, what I wanted is just a rapid account of your collections... I am just curious to see what kind of collecting "fever" you guys have. They are fairly big items, and my play room (I'm 39 yo...) is already full with 200+ 1/6 action figures... so for me it's gonna stop pretty quick.

thats it if I can recal....

just wanted to say the greatest thing about buying tamiya kits is that once you buy it the value does not decrease by 50% like all other kits that I have bought in the past. I mean the tamiya kits I bought I can almost sell them the same price even the hop up options are worth every cent. []

Floyd · April 30, 2005

Im in the same boat as a couple of other posters here as in I dont have any way to pay for the subscription (no way for me to get paypal). But as for what I have in my somwhat limited collection ...

Lunch Box - my first hobby grade R/C from when I was 12 . It has so manny home grown mods and fixes it barely even looks like a Lunch Box anymore .

Clod Buster - I have spent way too much money on this one and I still refuse to use a "mod clod" frame . I want to keep the original Tamiya look to it.

Associated R/C 10 - Original gold aluminum pan frame a good friend just gave me . The car is in spotless condition other than he painted the body in some goofy colors.

Mountaineer - Bought this from a local swap meet extreamly cheep ($200). It is a new built out of the box but the guy lost the body for it so I stuck a Cuda body on it , now officialy named the "Cudaneer".

Losi XXX-T M.F. - Just picked this one up off of Stulec52 . Looks great though I have yet to decide what kind of motor I want to run in it ( hot/stock ) so for rite now its just a rolling chassis . Thanks again Stu []!!

Home made pro mud bogger - This is a work in progress . Ive made my own ladder frame but I still need to track down a set of solid axels for it (I am having no luck what so ever finding any) . As soon as I can get some axels for it I can complete it and start showing it off []

tarznatz · April 30, 2005

Stefan - thats awesome - I'd be interested in that program. I always forget what I have for what project!

Stefan(2) · May 1, 2005

Tarznatz, no problem,

When it is done (some errors still in it) , it is

free for everyone to download.

Its basicly a dressed up Access file, but it had to

use my "old" files (excel) where al the data is in.

(don't ask more, dunno about the rest )

Its dutch only (language) at the moment, so we have to make

a translated version,

And some more user-frindy jobs to do.

(as i am a complete moron with computer, i am the perfect test-dummy)

sploader · May 3, 2005

I'm up to around 20 right now. My collection grows almost weekly, and I still have a few I haven't even added to my showroom yet. This hobby is too addicting!
