Been looking at 1/43 F1 and vintage rally cars and the quality and attention to detail is awesome. Currently wanting a Senna Lotus 97T and Mk1 Mexico. The Minichamps ones look great. Let's see some picks from those of us that should have grown out of this sort of thing a long time ago.
I've got hundreds of the damned things. It would take days to photograph them and then post on here. Watch out it's a slippery slope. I now only try to collect models of american cars especially muscle cars. It starts out cheap and then when you have bought all the models from one range that you want you end up moving up the price ranges. Minichamps are good models and have quite a range. However i've bought all the minichamps that i'd like and find myself purchasing Neo models which are a bit more expensive. I used to buy brooklin models that used too be £40 a pop - they are now £100+ . Some years ago there was one of those agostini magazines that did a series of rally car models - they were basically ixo models and at a decent price - i ended up with 3 metro 6r4s. It's best to get a display cabinet with a glass door - otherwise they end up dusty and a bit manky. You can display them of course in the display boxes they come in but I think that looks a bit naff.
Remember to keep all the packaging and boxes if you ever want to sell them .
I usually purchase most of mine through ebay - though strangely enough ebid sometimes has the same models cheaper. Most of the model shops have gone - driven out of business by the internet, but it's always a thrill when you come across one still open - an aladdins cave of treasures. if you want any further info message me direct.
I've got a few - just of cars I've owned. Favourite is the 1:18 Roadster of course! Closely followed by the 1:43 Polo breadvan.
All you'll ever need. Tonka's finest creation. 42-43 years old and still doing a fine duty of holding my MTB light batteries while they charge. I love my Tonka tipper truck.
PS4 needs a dusting.
