yg60m · 05-13-2004, 03:38 PM

:shock: Mates, what a collection you have, I have some cast models but i stop buying them because i lack place with all the magazines, VHS, DVD ... and my wife and my childs take a lot of place too

I will try to take pics of my (small) collection.

Stracing, wouldn't you be a Ferrari fan ?

All I can say to those running out of space is switch to 1/43rd... I did too when I ran out of space and for about the same money you can buy models with the same level of detail that take a quarter of the space a 1/18 model would. One more advantage, in 1/43 a lot more models are released, so the choice is also better. Besides, somehow I like models better in 1/43. Details mean more to me when they're difficult to make. I'm not buying 1/18s anymore...

stradale, yes also the small Miura J is by Kyosho

And congrats Evo, very nice collection

Evo · 05-13-2004, 05:56 PM

stradale, you might be right about the 1:43 scale being better detail.. and I am running out of space too.. but I still am getting 1:18..

1:18 is bigger but I still like them the 1:43 is to small for my kind..and the 1:18 is a good size to display on a stand.. you can see it from far away..

TT, I'm just wondring if you got my PM. :roll:

i have been collecting 1:18 scale models for years now and i have almost 65 i think, it is in the 60s anyway, when i get some time i will take some pics.

i also see some very good collections

gis · 05-13-2004, 07:34 PM

dani your collection amazes me.id love to see pics of them when u can.can i ask if you still buy to add to that already huge collection?

Schwalbe · 05-14-2004, 02:22 AM

I only have in 1:18 1996 Dodge Viper GTS, Audi RS4, 96 Chevy Impala SS, 996 Porsche GT2.

I know an untraceable car in die cast model: 3rd generation of Eagle Talon TSI 1:18. Nevertheless this is a common car ... strange ?

I swear it does not exist. There is only in the market the ugly Mitsubishie Eclipse from F&F.

:cry: :cry: Poor car.. ...

You guys have some nice collections. Oddly enough, this is the one thing I never started collecting. The only small model cars I have are Kyosho Mini-Zs. In the Mini Z dept, I have a yellow 355, CLK-GTR with working lights, and a racing Skyline (Xanavi) which is really fast, the little thing does 20-30mph easily. I also have a Mini-Z Overland-Dakar Mistu Pajero and an Epoch Skyline (I think its 1:43) its pretty quick too. Ill probably break down and get the new Mini-Z Monster Truck soon too. I also have some old Penny racers and some Bit-Char-gs, etc. LOL Ill take some pics tomorrow as the cam's battery is dead ATM.

My uncle has an enormous collection of scale cars, I mean walls and walls of them. If I remember ill go over and get some pics of them.

gis: yea there are. mainly BBR and minichamps(the michael schumacher collection)

yg60m: ferrari fan? i think others beat me to that. schumacher fan? definately!!! even if schumacher went to minardi i still buy his car.

i have been tempted to buy road cars, but just buying schumacher is expensive. just look at BBR and you know. plus i was late getting my hands on the minichamps, so they're like 250-500 each. 1/43 scale too :shock:

TT · 05-14-2004, 06:31 AM

Again very nice and big collection dude

and nice to see lot of free spots in some pics

stracing · 05-14-2004, 06:41 AM

fark i love his collection!
i love how some momentos were added like the hat and wine/champagne. very nice touch

but in the last pic with the 1/43 that is one expensive cabinet!
i got the alesi riding schumacher's benetton. i paid so much for that i don't even wanna say. the first thing i did when i came home was had a quick look and packed it away so it won't remind me what damage it made to my wallet.

gis · 05-14-2004, 07:01 AM

are the quality of the BBR worth the hefty price tag,i never seen a BBR model up close so i havent seen the quality.

dani_d_mas - can i ask who made your ferrari F40,the next cars i want to add to my collection will be ferrari ones and i want the F40 and F50,i seen the F50 many times but never the F40,who was yours made by?
