Look what i did today

dxb335d · 09-14-2007, 06:17 AM

Put up three cabinets for my models, look quite good i think,

one for random super cars, one for my escort cosworths and another for my BM's

some are worth a small fortune, especially the cosworths, long out of production and the company who made them ceased trading many years ago!!

some go for well over £100 on ebay, i have many many more, but im afraid reside in the loft

what do you guys rekon??

Looks very neat

Great set up. I have a pretty nice collection myself. I'll get a pic up of them asap. I have a nice Ducati thats worth a bit. Along with a GNX. Its amazing how much you'll spend on models. I know I've spent over atleast 1k.

tjnptel1 · 09-14-2007, 09:19 AM

that is really sweet. good collection.

however, the WRX should not be in the same collection as the 460 and Murcielago

3thirty5 · 09-14-2007, 09:19 AM

sweet! that's a great collection... although that white impreza looks a bit outta place in a canbinet full of super cars.

the ferrari is a F430 and your right, there is no where else for it, might pull it out stick some chrome 22" and slap a sub and amp in the trunk

Thankyou

The ones in the cabinets are diecast factory built

altho i took apart many Escort Cosworths and modified them with some chrome 22"s.. the smaller ones on the cabinet next to the three, the small grey one and black one nect to my skid lid are hand built and painted ones

These have cost me a fortune over the years, the BMW's are anything between 80-100 US dollars and the escort cosworths 120-200 US dollars

Yes try ebay my friend, only risk with ebay is sellers selling, ''so called mint cars with boxes'' only to find when they arrive there not as good as you thought

I have all the original boxes for mine

bronco · 09-14-2007, 10:34 AM

Absolutely stunning collection. And for a second I thought that these cabinets were built in to the wall - now that was going to be amazing
Still very nice set up

richeerich03 · 09-14-2007, 10:40 AM

Nice setup and collection. I should do something like that for my Kicks... hahaha

i think you would have to create a partition wall for such effect, maybe next time i will do so
