Show us your model car collection!

Alright, let's continue our "show us-series"

All of us are car enthusiastics, so I'm pretty sure everyone has at least one model car on the bookself. So take a photo and share it with us.

Sounds like fun

I'll start with my unmade stuff first.

We'll move onto the showcase cars later.

All bought off ebay (addict) . Most recent was the 1/12th F2002 Ferrari - 40cm in length. All the parts have been individually pre painted, so some sprues have multi coluoured parts. The engineering quality of the model is no where near Tamiya standards, but it still will make a nice showpiece one day. Cost me

[Jussi]

Mat nice Lotus and Ferrari My F40 is only 1:24 and it's a Burago-model, so it's not actually "the model car" but I liked it much.

Simon can't wait to see your showcase cars B)

[slade]

Pared down to two that grace my desk now. Not quite my cars but more or less

They're voodoo dolls. Anyone know where to get a triumph model?

Just realized I put this on the wrong forum

Moderator please can you move it to general chat, thanks.

[Bibs]

Jussi, it's car related, albeit small ones, it stays in here!

[WayneB]

Jussi, the Esprits are made by Auto Art , you can get them off ebay (in different colours)

Got mine (pre-PC days ) from a stall at Mossport racetrack, and the Collectors guild in Kingston.

[Vulcan Grey]

My nephews just gave me the purple Elise Motorsport yesterday.

The blue Elise is from the West Coast Lotus Meet in '04

I was really into the '96-'98 BPR, FIA GT1, & LeMans cars.

And my Dad gave me the 550A spyder

[Loose Cannon]

There's a lot of Ferraris on here for a Lotus forum!

My Kyosho Lambos, an 8 quid Camaro (bargain) and a Hotwheels Charger, all 1/18

Autoart Bond Esprits anda Revell Manta GTE, 1/18

Autoart 917 1/18 and a variety of 1/43 concepts and classics

Revell Nazca, Maisto XK180, Polistil Miura (suffered at the hands of the duster)1/18, a variety of 1/43 and less concepts and classics

Bburago Lotus 79 and Brabham BT49(?), both 1/14 (I think I read somewhere that Peter Stevens designed the graphics on the Brabhams, probably why they look so good!)

Okay - here's the 'Lounge Collection'.

Sorry to say that all my Burago cars are packed away ready for shipping.

Anyway there's a few Esprit cars here. A small matchbox V8, An SE (1/38), and the Auto Art V8 (1/43) - all in 'Low Vis' Red. B)

Quite Envious of you guys with car models in your Lounge/living rooms. B)

Mine are banned from these areas

A destructive 4 yr. old daughter, and a wife who refuses to clean them being the reasons.

My faves so far are the Porsche 917 and shocking green Miura SV owned by Mark B)

[JRTurbo909]

No real pics of my models since im at work but here are some internet-sourced pics...

Mine are in the living room but are a mess, need a nice cabinet for the best ones. Never understood why its such a taboo for a bloke to have his toybox out, having said that none of my mates get away with it! The only one allowed in the living room however (on the best furniture!) is my missus' Autoart Bullitt Mustang, her dreamcar..the mind control seems to be working then.

My faves so far are the  Porsche 917 and shocking green Miura SV owned by Mark B)

Why thankyou, theres some nice concept cars in the attic that need an airing, you would probably appreciate them (Carabo, P5, 512S, and a 2' long Ferrari Modulo). Praise the God of Ebay

[markt]

My most recent addition from the misses. Got same flak as Wayne though... My models are banished to the garage by 'She-Who-Will-Be-Obeyed' and also have a sticky fingered four year old daughter. My garage is off limits to them, so sort of get my own back there...

[jimmybondi]

My girlfriend thinks that I am completely nuts:

How many Lotus/James Bond/Star Trek items can you count??
