clint w Posted April 19 Posted April 19 Figured I'd start a thread to add pictures of my collection as I aquire it. Picked up my first pieces this weekend. A 1:64 scale I bought at Walmart yesterday and a 1:18 scale I bought at the Goodguys car show in the swap meet today. Including a picture of the cabinet I built for my VW collection. Going to have to build something to display my Monte Carlo stuff. 12 Quote
DragCat Posted April 20 Posted April 20 Nice detail on the SS . When I collected die cast (mostly nascar) I focused on 1/8, but have 1/43, 1/24, and 1/64. I was at the local wallymart after your original post but they didn't have the Crow Monte PS. Old photo from the TV room. I'm downsizing the house at the end of the year so everything is getting boxed 11 Quote

Yes, classic cars tend to sell for less in Canada but the parts and pretty much everything else that goes into them cost more up here. 1 Quote
