This is my 1/18 scale (1959?) Studebaker, my Lambroghini Aventador, my mini Dodge Viper, and my Ferrari La Ferrari. I also have a 1/18 scale Delorean, I'll take a picture of It later. (Yes, the Studebaker is a bit damaged, I'm hoping to repair it eventually as it holds a large amount of personal significance)
Apart from the 3rd gen Lexus LS up front, the S2000 and the 350z, which I paid a bit more than I'm usually comfortable with, most of the SUVs and trucks at the back were the expensive ones, considering how rare they are. The funny thing is, what I currently have now doesn't cut it close to what I used to have back when I was younger, including a few cars that are close to reaching unobtainable status. I was actually bored enough to make a list, and I still have a bit of ways to go in re-obtaining it all, but if only I had maybe, a couple grand to play with, lol.
That's amazing! Thanks for letting me know. I hope have a collecting like that, but considering the prices right now, it will have to wait, haha.
Sorry for the bump, but I Just remembered that this thread existed and I wanted to post some photos of my larger scale car collection. Listed in order from left to right: Bburago Ferrari Testarossa, Revell Porsche 959 (model kit), Franklin Mint 82' Chevrolet C3 Corvette, Revell Porsche 911 turbo slantnose (non model kit), Tonka Ferrari 288 GTO, Hotwheels De Tomaso Pantera, Bburago Ferrari F50, Franklin Mint Callaway C12 Cabrio
Sorry for the bump. Thread's been quiet for a while, but I figured I'd post these new HotWheels I grabbed at Tesco. Some new castings I didn't know about - haven't been keeping up with the new releases recently. Added them to the 'Unopened HotWheels Wall', of which I am beginning to run out of space.
A glamour shot of one of my modified models. --- Post updated --- another glamour shot, this one taken on my deck.
more slight rule bending Edit: turns out the air china 747 was one of gemini jets first releases from 1998
Trying not to spam up a thread made for model cars with model planes but they just keep coming, (The card at the back says that the virgin 747 is one of 2500 models)
Honestly, It's fine, I love seeing these planes. I feel any model vehicle should be able to be posted here. If not, we need a model planes thread.
Tbh I feel that if we didn't just limit this thread to model cars it would maybe be just a bit more popular and not be dead every couple of months. In favor of this, I too will bend the rules slightly. These are some of my favorite steam locomotives in my collection, two need some pretty major repairs though. From left to right: Bachmann 3 truck Shay (needs $30 dollar bevel gears to even move correctly or at all), Broadway Limited Imports Southern Pacific AC-4/5, RIvarossi C&O L2 (drivers need quartered, in my opinion it's the most beautiful piece in my collection.), Athearn Union Pacific Big Boy (largest in my collection), and the Bachmann Reading I10sa
Finally decided to throw my DeLorean on here. Pretty dang good little model, I think it's from the 90's. --- Post updated --- The Big Boy has always been my favourite steam train, sweet model! If you have any more, I'd love to see 'em.
Same here, I've had that model for around 10 years now. I've actually got quite a bit more in my collection. Just bought some more locomotives last week but I haven't got pics of them yet and I plan on going to a model train store that despite being 32 miles from me is the closest one around. Use to have a pretty local pet and hobby shop but they went under a couple of years ago. still makes me sad till this day as I have very fond memories of that place and they always had some really good stuff. Also that is a sweet DeLorean!
