SHOW US YOUR VINTAGE COLLECTION; NO PICTURES, NO BRAGGING RIGHTS!!!
I noticed that there is no "show us your..." thread in our Vintage Forum, so I guessed it would make sense to start our own.
I am more than sure that there are members here with vintage collections that would wake up dead people from their graves. So... now is the time to show us your unique, HEAVY WALLET, non-stop drooling vintage collection!!! Let the drooling begin!!!!! :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:: drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::d rool: I'll start with my small and humble collection, which consists of: http://www.oople.com/forums/picture....pictureid=60061985 Kyosho Optima 1986 Kyosho Javelin 1988 Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid SE 1989 Kyosho Turbo Optima Mid Special 1990 Team Associated RC10 Championship Edition Next in line are the Kyosho Turbo Optima and the Tamiya Avante. I just started collecting them about 6 months ago, so I have a lot to get up to!!! ;) WE WANT PICTURES!!!!:thumbsup: NO PICTURES... NO BRAGGING RIGHTS!!!!!!!:thumbdown: |
Can a moderator make this a sticky?!
This is the guts of what we do. (My pics coming as soon as a few cars are finished) |

The (only) vintage stuff I still own at the moment:
------------------------------------------------------------- Tamiya Dyna Storm (Re-Release) with some customizing on it: http://tamiyaclub.com/getuserimage.a...1146_1_350.jpg http://tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=109751 ------------------------------------------------------------- The vintage stuff I have owned (but sold): ------------------------------------------------------------- Renault Alpine A110 (Tamiya M-02): http://tamiyaclub.com/getuserimage.a...5605_7_350.jpg http://tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=80816 ------------------------------------------------------------- Tamiya Super Astute: ------------------------------------------------------------- http://tamiyaclub.com/getuserimage.a...1344_6_350.jpg http://tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=116025 ------------------------------------------------------------- Kyosho Maxxum FF: ------------------------------------------------------------- http://tamiyaclub.com/getuserimage.a...3652_6_350.jpg http://tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=107775 ------------------------------------------------------------- I currently still own a Scorcher chassis (currently still in bits) and another Dyna Storm which I run at vintage races. I have owned many more vintage vehicles (some of them are in my TamiyaClub showroom (link), many of them are not), but my vintage collecting is over for now. I don't run them due to either rarity or lack of electronics/money and time... so they're better off at the homes where they've gone to, and I had fun restoring and owning them :) |
My precious Optima collection! Naked :lol: :thumbsup:

Oh no...
This was going to happen sometime I guess...all that testosterone...
|
My own version of the RC10 Timeline, they'll never be mint, like some of the others on here, but I'm happy :)
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h7...ps26e94ae3.jpg Yes, some of them still need cleaning up and proper assembly! |
Here's where i store my much reduced collection, an 8'x8' box room.
Most still need completed in some way. I might take a group shot one day, if i ever get some of them finished ;) http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ps984442d8.jpg |

Some of my cars old and my current ones too. The optima is still stripped down but ive run out of time right now to finish it off. All the others are in a running condition and most have electric's in them, the Evo gets used a few times a year and i love driving her old school fun and fairly quick still.

Well here are my humble beginnings into collecting.
My Restored tamiya Dynastorm, has many Nimrod racing carbon parts fitted. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ps8a1da700.jpg Restored Kyosho Optima, this car is pretty much built from NIP parts, very little of the legacy donor car remain, a total queen. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...e/SAM_0296.jpg The housewives favourite, a '94 YOKOMO YZ10, again, car is 99% new and im mounting a spares back up so i can run it, not with the Masami shell on mind :p http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...psb3f965ac.jpg Tamiya Monster Beetle......bought as it TBH, its mint, very lovely, not a car I'm head over heels for, but its a looker for sure. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...e/SAM_0308.jpg Cant really include my Avante as its a 2011, but there will be more to come, I'm kinda hooked now.........so looking into RC10 and older Losi's. lee |
