Re: Shodog's collection of Tamiya's
Awesome collection! Loving the Rothmans Porsche, what chassis is mounted on? 

Do, or do not! There is no 'try'!
RC; Boats, Buggies, Trucks, Bash's, Racing and of course 'VINTAGE'!

Love your collection - especially the Porsches and Bimmer.
Trucks and SRB's are nice too.
Aw heck, the whole thing is just amazing!!

Re: Shodog's collection of Tamiya's
That mip 4x4 is my favorite. I noticed that the gearbox is standing upright in the first pic and then has a different motor mount and is laying back in the other pics.
What is the brand of the gold motor mount?
I'm on a mission to try to find one of those nylon gear cases and turn my srb into a 2wd version of yours. I'm going to get a friend to make a 3d drawing of the trans, then try to copy it, using the original tamiya gearbox as and photos as a guide.
I wish it wasn't so hard to find the parts!
Cheers
David

Re: Shodog's collection of Tamiya's
I've updated the pictures to show more models so free free to browse page 1 again.
Thanks, I love this little car also. The wheels are Tamiya four spoke wheels that have been stripped of paint. It gives the car a truly realistic look.billetproofcustoms wrote:The Alpine A110 is incredible, fantastic collection!
This porsche started as a Piaa GT2 porsche on a TA-03S chassis. I’ve upgraded the shocks but that’s about it.Jedi Master wrote:Awesome collection! Loving the Rothmans Porsche, what chassis is mounted on?
Those little dogs are suckers sometimes. I caught one chewing on the barrell of my Tank one time.ireg wrote:Love your Tamiya's collection and the way it's been guarded by a lovely dog
I really like the MGD livery I used. I have loots of stuff like thorp differentials, Supershot suspension and a Tecnacraft wheels for this model. Just need to put it on the list to get reworked.madweazl wrote:That Hotshot is sex on wheels!
Thanks, I try to make every model special buy using some really cool parts or painting it in a unique wayPuffdogg wrote:Great attention to detail. Truely inspiring!!!
You’re right, it’s an evolution photo. First picture shows the First generation stand up tranny. The later pic is the slanted case coupled with a Hot Trick transmission/motor mount. These gear cases are as rare as hens teeth. As with anything, it can be remade but then it wouldn’t be a vintage part. Part of the coolness factor of a vintage car is it’s vintage aftermarket partsdj_kilroy wrote:That mip 4x4 is my favorite.

When I was taking pics there was a little fuzz on the body. The chrome on the body must be statically charged. I had a soft t-shirt on so I used it to dust the lint off. I didn't realize my He-man chest would reflect in the pic

That is funny as hell about the chrome pumpkin!
I'm not a truck guy but I keep staring at that extended cab Bruiser.

The photograph taken on the beach is beautiful. No wonder you chose that as an avatar. It almost looks like a real 1:1 sand rail. Makes me want to take some great scale shots when my project is finished.
