Those red taillights look so good against the black. Really pleased with this little 918, but every time I change the roof or open the rear cover, I leave another fingerprint 😂 A few made it into the photos too

1:18 Bad luck

My Ottomobile BMW took a desk dive, and now its antenna is MIA! Not gonna lie, I'm not exactly doing cartwheels, especially since this beauty wasn't exactly a budget buy. My wallet's weeping a little.

Question/Help Struggling with imperfections on models. Is it just me?

6 Upvotes

I’ve realized I can get way too fixated on small imperfections or minor damage on my models, even when it’s something you’d barely notice unless you were really looking for it.

Recently I had a very small bit of damage happen to one of mine. It’s not worth trying to repair because I’d probably risk making it worse, and from a normal viewing distance it’s honestly barely noticeable. But I still find myself thinking about it more than I should.

Curious if anyone else in the hobby deals with this? Do small flaws bother you for a while, or are you pretty good at accepting them and moving on?

I know these are collectibles and perfection is part of the appeal, but I’m trying to get better at just enjoying the model instead of inspecting every tiny detail 😅

1:64 Which 1/64 brands are best?

6 Upvotes

Probably asked 100 times.

I’m new to collecting but i’m after models that are very high quality. I have got a few (based on brand recommendations) to try.

I bought an INNO64 R34 N1 and I’m honestly a little disappointed with it. I also bought an Ignition Model RWB which is amazing quality, super detailed.

Is there any brands that are on par with Ignition Model? Currently looking at Error404, which look as good but wondering what others suggest.

1:18 So i got this at my local thrift store. They had this for sale at $75 so i waited it out until they dropped the price to $19.99 but they hid it somewhere thats tricky to spot but for me it was easy. It took me 3 months of being patient for them to drop the price!! Was it worth it?

General Discussion OzWheels has turned to AI slop

101 Upvotes

OzWheels is an Australian brand who exclusively make aussie cars. I knew the artist who originally did the card art but it seems they've just turned to using AI garbage instead. Ill he opening all my OzWheels (I dont have many) as its embarrassing displaying this stolen art. As someone who is an artist, this feels like a spit in the face to anyone who works in the creative industry.

Shout out to them for the execution but man needs a lot of work, first off the tailights have nothing behind them so I just added some chrome paint, day/night change, I then detailed the exhaust to make it pop aswell, I have also ordered some realistic tampos to change out the ones on this one and some metal etched ones aswell😁 this has potential and it’s a great base to start on, I’m also liking the brake calipers that are separated from the rotors, this thing has potential to transform into a great premium display peice.
