All the stick parts made it one ugly pile of gold.

Corvette was $100, but i got mine for $60, and the Hummer was $8.

I have quite a few 1:18, including 4 new concept Camaro's, 1 02 Anniversary Camaro, 06 GTO, 09 Challenger, 3 or 4 Corvettes, 1 Impreza STi Rally, 96 Impala, a couple Hummers, and a Canyon. And quite a few 1:24 involving more Impala/Caprice's, and more Vette's and a few NASCARs. I'll get pics up sooner then later!

I just got a new CTS and ZR1 Today!

And they are pretty awesome!

I especially love the CTS, it is so detailed. Not only do all the doors open, the hood and trunk, the fuel door opens, the center console, the glove box, the sunroof, and the carpet in the trunk lifts up to reveal the spare! And the front seats slide as well!! It's pretty nice, but considering what i paid for it, it is to be expected.

Oh and the ZR1 is sweet, but from BigTime Muscle and is no where near as detailed. Now if only they were real! (I got the CTS from AutoPrideConcepts.com) :twothumbs

(I also have a whole pile of other models, many 1:18, and some 1:24)

CTS Detail, darn black is hard to keep clean! LOL

See, the sunroof, gas door, center console and glove box are open!

Nice interior detail!

And the ZR1

I can't wait till my two new Camaro SS/RS models get here!!

This is a shot of the rest of mine. I will get more detailed ones up at a later date. Now only if someone would make one of my SRX!

(Also check out a Camaro mouse next to my laptop!)

Only 3 Impala SS /Caprice 9C1's!

3 SS's · 12-11-2009, 06:40 PM

The diecast

the real thing

...yeah yeah I know, i couldn't find a benchseat diecast.

TheCaptain · 12-11-2009, 06:54 PM

That's still pretty dang close! I was looking for differences, and other then the bench/bucket, i couldn't see any.

3 SS's · 12-12-2009, 08:52 AM

Yep...it's pretty much dead on, even the trunk & spare, now if I could only find one to match my 69, I've been looking for a couple years now with no luck. :(

Ya, I have a few, stopped collecting when I went 1:1 scale...

TheCaptain · 12-12-2009, 11:13 AM

That's a lot of hot wheels, but i still love my 1:18 scale. Bigger and better details! Not to mention, easier to customize if the need or want arises!

My son and I just started working on models (he's 13) together, I have done some before but had gotten out of it for a while. Here is our take on a 79 second gen...

The paint is a mix of chrome and Green not Synergy but we thought it was kinda cool, Big R did the paint, we use a airbrush and we ran a little short of paint on the last coat but it still turned out not to bad.

Is the glue dry yet?

Would be the cherry on the cake if ya tinted the T-tops n back window

Maybe a strip across the top of the front.
