My tamiya collection

Post by Brendan2904 »

Ok. I have been a Tamiya collector for a long time. I got my first car, the Grasshopper 2, in 87.

Life and a marriage implosion got in the way a few times but I have always come back.

Here are some pics I took.

Some more. I had to lower the resolution on the pictures. The files were too big.

That's a nice collection :D
What I tend to do with pictures is take them from a greater distance then crop them back to make the file smaller , not sure if it's better but it's simpler for me .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

My Samsung phone allows you to simply resize the image. 80% usually works fine.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Ok so to explain.

The Fox, Boomerang, Hornet and Frog in the first pics are reres as is the Lunchbox. The other 2 Frogs, Grasshopper, Midnight Pumpkin, Blackfoot, Super Blackfoot, King Blackfoot, Monster Beetle and Clodbuster are resto's.

The TT02 BR is a new build with 2 bodies. I am still deciding what body I am going to run and what body is the shelf body. Leaning towards the black one being the shelf queen body.

The 2 Super Clodbusters and the Squash van are also new builds.

The Kyosho USA 1 is the new 1/8 scale and I did the 4ws upgrade to it.

The Super Hornet, and Blitzer Beetle are models 2 and 3 for me from the 90's.The Grasshopper 2 is my first kit from 1987, and the Wild Dagger in the attached picture is my number 4 from the 90's
