It depends on how long those cars have been in circulation. If they are fairly new, you might be able to locate them in any "big-box" retail store like Target or Walmart. If they are out of circulation, you will need to find it from a private collector.

There is an on line community – Diecast Space. They are a group of 1/64th scale collectors. http://www.diecastspace.com. They have a in-room trading events at there shows.

Also, check out The Car Room Magazine. It is a magazine dedicated to scale model collecting. They have a calendar of events were they list upcoming scale model events. Also, they have a classified section in the magazine. You can place a "Wanted" ad. Their website is http://www.thecarroom.com

One choice is to use a plan (search on eBay) and buy material from stores…for this you need to be good at reading and understanding plans.

The other is to buy a kit again through eBay and patiently wait for a good deal.

The answer to your question is in books. Its not just something you can pick up and start doing. People are experts at this stuff and you need a number of specialty tools. Visit a hobby shop and ask the workers there for some guidance or join an R/C plane club in your area or buy/borrow some books on the subject. All I can say is that there’s a LOT to it.

From what I know, it would be cheaper to start with a kit than building one from scratch.

Good luck with the new hobby!

Go to any sports store and they should have magazines that tell the current prices for nasacar diecast. My husband has a copy let me look. I believe it is called Diecast Digest.
He has collected since 1986 or so and that is what he used.

There is a magazine called Diecast Digest. They price all kinds from action, QVC, Winners Circle and Racing Champions. I get it every month, and it helps out a lot! It is easy to use and fun to price all the stuff. Good luck!
