I also have alot of diecast cars, I think most of the users here will have at least 1.
I've got some from JadaToys, Ferraris', Porsche, BMW, 4 Lamborghini's, Corvette,...

Would you like tho see some pics of mine

James31278 · Post by **James31278** » 26 Sep 2005, 19:59

Sure, I have 100+. I stick to certain american cars and japanese cars. viper, corvette, gto, mustang, acura/honda, charger, challenger, skyline, rx-7, rx-8, supra. BMW too. i have a few ferrari's and porsches. My favorites are my Kyosho 1:18 Efini RX-7's and Autoart Skyline GT-R Vspec-II. I bought the Jada Option D RX-7 the other day.

Sure, let's see some.

Mines mostly Chryslers: 2 PT Cruisers (consept + production model), Copperhead, 300C, 1956 300B, Viper GT-R, Crossfire and 1936 Airflow, in addition I've got 2 Jeep Cherokees and an old Army Jeep and a Nissan 350Z.

edit: Question: where do keep 100 or so 1:18 scale models, coz they aren't that small???
Just curious.

Most of mine are on shevles, the good ones are on the shelf with my witchblade statue punisher statue and franklin mint enterprise. I also put the fast and the furious plastic figures on that shelf they came with cars. mia toretto came with a 1:24 dom's RX-7, Letty came with a 1:24 black civic, Dominic Toretto came with a 1:64 of his RX-7, Brian O'connor came with the 1:24 Orange Supra. I have a Vince and Brian figs from Revell Monogram. I lost the Toretto fig modeled after the photo of Vin Diesel in a black muscle shirt with olive drab slacks.

Oh okay. Are they the ones you have to put together yourself or just toy cars?

James31278 · Post by **James31278** » 26 Sep 2005, 20:40

I didn't assemble them. the really good ones with carpeted interior were pre-assembled. I collect them.

A-spec · Post by **A-spec** » 26 Sep 2005, 20:42

Well I guess die cast means that they're allready in one piece, so kinda like toy cars. Tho I'm not playing with them, too old for that, but it sure would have been cool to have these when I used to play with toy cars

James31278 · Post by **James31278** » 26 Sep 2005, 20:43

I do too. even hotwheels big and small.

GioDeR · Post by **GioDeR** » 26 Sep 2005, 20:44

They r definetly not toycars, altho many of them will suffer the hands of kids! They are infact replicas of cars with very nice details. U can buy them ready buildt or in kits...lately have i bougth a lot of ready buildt models that i have changed the details on, like sanding them down and give them a paintjob, paint the interior, changing or painting the rims, more details in the engine compartment....lot of fun!

If they got broken... nah some of these cars are pretty fragile.

GioDeR · Post by **GioDeR** » 26 Sep 2005, 20:48

BTW: i got a Bburago 1:18 Mercedes 300 SL "Gullwing" that is up for some modding soon! It needs a repaint of the silver paint and some realistic colours in the engine bay and interior...gonna go for red interiors. I like that silver/red combo!

Post by **Pabl0z** » 26 Sep 2005, 20:51

1/18 Chrysler 300C, Porsche 911 Targa (996), Audi Rosenmeyer concept, Dodge Viper GTS, C5 Corvette convertible, a Delorean, a Jeep Wrangler, and a 1/24 '93 Dodge Intrepid ES.
I've also got a bunch more at home, somewhere.
