Shodog's collection of Tamiya's

Awesome collection! Loving the Rothmans Porsche, what chassis is mounted on?

Love your collection - especially the Porsches and Bimmer.

Trucks and SRB's are nice too.

Aw heck, the whole thing is just amazing!!

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

I've updated the pictures to show more models so free free to browse page 1 again.

The Alpine A110 is incredible, fantastic collection!

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.

This porsche started as a Piaa GT2 porsche on a TA-03S chassis. I’ve upgraded the shocks but that’s about it.

Those little dogs are suckers sometimes. I caught one chewing on the barrell of my Tank one time.

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.

Thanks, I try to make every model special buy using some really cool parts or painting it in a unique way

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 parts

I can't get enough of your cars, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have the best collection I have seen!

Just one thing!.... Next time you take a pic of your chrome Pumpkin, please put on a shirt!

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

Your paintjobs really make this collection incredible, thanks for posting the pics.

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.

We're talking about the truck, right?
