Partridge Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's an ace looking casting. I don't know why we just don't meet up soon and swap our entire collections, that's what going to end up happening at this rate anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugong Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I have seen [most of] the fabled C PAMP MODEL JUNKMAN COLLECTION in person. It is very exciting. Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Those are all just sublime! I love these Japanese kits. Only got a 100A Cherry one myself but it's ace and the box was a bit mental if I recall correctly. Have you any built ones to show?

Ratdat Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That's a damned fine collection. I've got a fair old hoard of Japanese kits which I'll get round to building one day. Eventually.The one I'm gagging to do is this Hino. I've got some Hasegawa Datsun 510's to go on it.... brickwall, Junkman and eddyramrod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Oh my word sir! I had the Nostalgic Heros Datsun 120A Cherry, was an odd scale of about 1/20th and could be motorized. They also dis a mk1 Capri, and built a few Imai kits, mainly VW Beetles, and an Austin FX4 taxi Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratdat Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Wow, never seen the tipper version! I've had this one hanging around for a few years now. I bought it from hlj.com originally if I remember rightly. I quite like the Doyusha Nostalgic heroes series even though the quality is a bit varied. The Datsun 510 coupe is appalling! I've still got a 610 and 710, the Celeste and the Pit Road version of the Sunny coupe... none of them built though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've still got a 610 and 710, the Celeste and the Pit Road version of the Sunny coupe... none of them built though. The NH series is essentially total tosh by today's standards. Doyusha produced it from ancient tooling from several manufacturers that had gone bust, like Nakamura, Sankey, Sharp, Midori, etc., that's why the quality is diverse to say the least. What they all have in common is the shallow interior tub and the motoriseable chassis, since back in the day model kits were intended to be toys in Japan.However, for what they are, they are the only game in town and a few of them can be made into quite attractive models by clever kitbashing and superdetailing.

Ratdat Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 ^Christ on a bike! Good effort! I have found a few of the original issues of Doyusha kits. Obviously they are the same kit but usually the packaging is usually nice if nothing else. This is probably the most shite kit I have.... brickwall and Junkman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I own a few kits too, but I am absolutely not able to built them. Still searching for someone who will built them for me. Of course I´ll pay him/her, but not found one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugong Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Ask your countryman above Lukas, he's a bit handy when it comes to the kit building. He cleaned up a Starter 806 of mine and it looks brand new. The custom fixies Junkman's done would crash many a hipster yoghurt truck as well, except they're proper bikes and well-made.

Junkman Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'd never even think of ruining a kit's value by building it, unless I have a second one as a keeper.See, I collect model kits. I have no inclination whatsoever to build them. However, that doesn't mean I can't do it. morris_ital_lover, Jim Bergerac, eddyramrod and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morris_ital_lover Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm the same Junkman, old kits can be worth a reasonable whack and its never worth building a minter. I've built up a rather large collection of Airfix 1/32 modern car collection kits, I alway try to down trade any minters for munters then build them. So far I've built Vauxhall Viva, Victor, Trumph Herald, TR4A, MGB, Minis, Spridget, Jag 420, Renault Dauphine, Cortina... Then I've got a Marina in the works and a Maxi, MG1100, Mercedes 280sl, Beach Buggy, Sunbeam Rapier, Ford Zodiac and Capri, Maserati Indy all waiting to be built. ...That lot doesn't even include my 'other' tat including C210 Skyline, 910 Bluebird, Datsun Sunny, Toyota Corona, Riley Elf, Commer PB, Morris Ital, Hino Contessa, Mitsi Galant and Volvo F12 - tractor finished, need to actually scratchbuild the car transporter trailer sometime soon (All 1/32) ...I guess that solves the mystery* of where all my time and money have gone of late. eddyramrod and Junkman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksilver Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Oh wow, that diorama is just sublime and that's a pretty awesome collection of weird and wonderful J-tin kits too. I'm into a slightly different form of modelmaking, 1/76 scale buses and trucks, which are mostly very limited runs that can be sold out in weeks or months - I buy them fully intending to build them all but the eternal problem is a lack of time, hence the ever-growing stash of unbuilt stuff!

Junkman Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I wouldn't have the eyesight to do 1/76 and admire anyone who can.There is no secret to building such a diorama. It's not difficult at all, it's just plain and simple hard work. A Fujimi TÃ…Âge Time Attack Pizza like Dugong's is now on my shopping list.

New owner looked happy with it at the car boot sale though. That Hino in 1/24 Scale will look stunning once its built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Actually Ratdat's Hino is a Fuso. They also made a Hino kit, but I've never even seen one 'in the flesh'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
