Heck yeah, I've got some pics of my 1:18 and 1:24 model cars on my site:

http://www.chevy4x4trucks.com/photos/modelcars/

I took those pics since I had to pack most of them away, I was just running out of space in my room for all of them. As soon as I get some time, patience, and money I'm going to repaint my room and put a shelf that runs the legth of the room up and put all the cars on there.

I also collect Knives and Swords:

I know both are rather small collections, but I don't have a lot of money to throw away on collecting the stuff.

What does everyone else collect? Why leave this thread just to model cars.

CMNTMXR81 · July 11, 2002

Yea, I've got 100's of them. I used to build them when I was a kid.

I only have a few out on display, about 10 brand new ones yet to build and the remaining in pieces in crates in my Mother's shed.

Now I've got lots and lots and lots of toy tractors and farm equipment, in both 1:64 and 1:16 sizes. I won't even attempt to list them all as I have so many. Maybe I'll just take a few pictures of some of them tonight.

July 12, 2002

I have about 50 Winross and Hartoy semi trucks from the American Racing Scene. I was able to get the 1/64 cars to match nearly all of the haulers.

I also have a few 1/24 cars that I like. I like to get the cars, trucks, etc, that I want instead of trying to grab what's available at the time.

I think that it's important to build a collection that I love instead of trying to get my hands on models that will turn a dollar.

But I do have to admit, I have some Davey Allison, Alan Kulwicki, and J.D. McDuffie stuff that no one will ever be able to buy from me.

But not just car junk;

A Dale Jr Coke

A full size Bill Elliot cutout

Two promotional 1/4 scale car hoods, Rusty Wallace, and the Dew Crew

Blow up Rust Wallace helmet and chair

1987 Bill Elliot license plate

There is so much crap out there!!!!

Get what means something to you and let the rest of the vultures go...

MountaineerTom · July 12, 2002

Like Dan, I have a lot of racing stuff too.

Cards, pop bottles/can, driver cutouts, car cutouts, driver autgraphs, NASCAR license plates, 1/64 cars, a couple haulers, and 8-10 1/18th scale muscle cars. I don't have the 1/18th scale cars out now though, as I have no where to put them. Basiclly, my computer room is full of NASCAR stuff.

Just stuff I like, nothing really special.

Jpshostr · July 12, 2002

Well, my collection. First one is all my 1:64 with a few 1:16 up in my room. Second is all my 1:16, plus a bunch of old ones that are worth lots of money, I bet each one on the top shelf is worth $50-500.

Wish I still had my display setup, it was pretty cool. Had the farmstead, a town, roads, field, you name it. Had to come down when it took up half the basement.

NeXuS1 · July 12, 2002

only diecast model i own is a 1/64th scale Grand National. which i'm going to redo to match my car. everything else is an r/c.

would like to find a 1/18th scale Grand National body for the micro, but those models cost a ton and all i want is the body.

This is true, I think a buddy of mine bought one for somethig like 80 bucks and for that model it was a pretty good deal. Hey, I'll swipe it for you and sell it to you really cheap

pacodiablo · July 12, 2002

i really want this, but unfortunately my computer ate up most of my cash... (it's a $100 car)

I've been collecting 1:18 scale red and white Corvettes. My first Corvette was a white '79 and my current one is a red '72. I also have a few Nascar die-casts.
