your Collection - show it to us - Anthony B - 12th-Aug-24

One of my enjoyments is to see what others collect and have in their collections.I think this common among most of us - if you kust look at the social media postings - it is always about, colour, make type etc etc..  essentially a split out of what you own (collect)

I would love to see yours. Yes I know it can be a pain - gotta take photos etc etc - but you gotta love it.

This is not meant as a bragging excercise (although as said we like to show what we have and look at what others have )

I will kick off.
I have gone through several collections before - I started as a collect it all and in every colour collector. But for me that got out of hand.
I Got involved with the vintage scene way back in very early noughties, and that shaped my view.
I loved the scaley set that I started with back in 64 and the cars that came out in that period - so it fitted in with my view of collecting.
I have switched to 98% 70's and before cars, with a few moderns that appeal to me - eg the current WEC. I also essentially collect what I kitbash and make as well as what others have made as well. As said I do have the Scaley cars for the 60s and I do have a penchant for Le mans Miniatures

Here are the pictures of my shelves - any close ups interest you let me know and will add.

BUT - let see yours as well please!!

Apologies if I duplicated pics - these old eyes

Super nice collection, Anthony. 

My budget is smaller. So are my cars. Besides, you can fit a lot more HO cars into one pic. 

Here is a "deck of cars" so to speak. Exactly 52-cars. The red chassis is supposed to be under the red Vette.

Umm... guilty as charged. Here are some big cars. 1/43 is bigger than 1/64, yes?

I also have a few 1/25 scale cars. However, not all these cars are mine. I only own two now. I just sold one.

I humbly apologize that my 1/32 cars are not stored ready to display. These shelves are where the core racers are kept. Scratch built cars are on the bottom shelf. Half the cars on the top shelf are RTR. The cars are sitting on plastic spacers to keep the tires off the shelf. The shelves are close to the ceiling because less dust collects on them this way. Yes, there is a 1/24 240Z sitting with all the 1/32 cars. I had no where else to keep it.

[attachment=36752]

Mostly RTR cars, and a few spare scratch built cars.

[attachment=36753]

Second overflow of cars near the track. The rear end of each car is sitting on a domino game piece to prevent flat tires.

[attachment=36754]

That pretty much sums up most of the cars that run. This does not include the cars/kits on the waiting list. That's another nightmar... I mean story.

Again my apologies that I don't have the space to pull them all out for display.

Thanks for looking,
Ken
