Haha I'm not the only one to stack 2 cars per slot. I mean they are already play-worn so won't hurt.

what compels someone to collect and store in this manner?

>>11759732
Some people just collect for the sake of collecting. It's more about quantity than quality.

I just recently got the TH Deora II in the mail and it's going to be my new Retard Award as a warning to my future self. It's my fault for buying it on eBay when the seller didn't disclose or provide clear enough pictures to show that the tampos on the back were scuffed. I'm assuming manufacturing defect because it came new on card, but it's still annoying.

cant wait for hot wheels to make a cast of the new toyota. This thing looks like what I hoped for the Supra MK5 to look like

Man modelling clay is too sticky to work with. And this MR2 doesn't have enough roof left to superglue back, maybe I should make the it out of paper...

>>11761709
wouldn't styrene be better for the mr2 roof and pillars? Clay to round up the junctions, sandpaper/dremel to smoother the edges.
The chevy hood looks nice too, i'd smoother/model the surfaces with sandpaper, fix edges and add panel lines with a knife.
Genuinely asking and wondering, since i've never done anything similar but mirin your work still

Is this cheap chinese Rhino diecast /Gingell toys MR2? I think I have Nissan Z31 from the same brand. Trying to swap front from pink wrecked one to my would-be custom.

I also have the same dark blue windows taken from pink one.

It probably looked like this. Same tampo, just different color.

The reason I want to swap fronts. Mine looks so crude I don't think I'm able to do anything about this.

Then I'd cut along this red line, carefully shave down orange part and make sure they fit at black line.

As wheel arches are horrible there, I'm planning wide body like this:

On side note, the car appears to be true 1/64 scale, not around that like many 1/64 claim to be.

dunno anon, those panda's wide fenders look like lazy and poorly thought shit on the vast majority of cars they're slapped on. They don't fit the car's aesthetic at all.
You could opt for some more classic wider fender arches, like the stock ones, wider to your liking.

Or else something like the silhouette fenders where, as exaggerate as they are, there's still a clear continuity of the body lines
Anyway... whatever you do, post it!

I've never heard of styrene until now. Might be worth trying at if I can find some sheets thin enough to use for stuff this small. I've had a breakthrough though, I taped the remaining pieces of the roof back into position and filled the missing parts and the pillars with folded strips of aluminium foil, then superglued it all together. Looks neater than my previous attempt to use cardboard pillars.
>>11761836
I never have been able to find out what brand it is. It used to be orange with black stripes and had decals just like the green one. It, too had a caved-in roof but it was corroding so I decided to work on it first.

I just thought of something-You might could try making an aluminium foil cast of the inside of the car to help match the pieces. One cast can go across the whole body to help angle and match the length of the new front and the other cast can be the same length as the cut piece to help with marking what area will be cut on the body undersides.

I've already made it white like a real MR2 would look, but now I'm wondering if I should paint it back to orange with black base to look like it originally did.

I love these unbranded 'made in china' cars and it's fun to find producers. This one seems bo be Golden Wheel, as Rhino one has different front. See pic related. Even same decals and also judging by cast lines, especially headlights.
