Mine are all in boxes in storage as i now live on the otherside if the world. Perhaps in the next few years if i find a property and location to use as a solid base i may put them on display. Honestly, i have mixed feelings about such a large collection. Everytine i add one, i almost feel guilty. Therfore ive decided to focus on my favourite era only which is the mid 1970s and 1980s. What gives me most pleasure is obtaining backmarker cars like Zakspeeds and Osellas etc. thanks for the video. Super.

    Congrats! Sounds like you have ab awesome collection going. My cars sat in boxes most of my life as like you I lived out of country off and on for 15 years. I understand your thoughts as a collection gets too large to really enjoy. I sell off focus sections I no longer enjoy. And find myself buying cars to meet say my Martini collection which I have not seen race or have a connection too. For now I am treading water but at some point age will force me to reduce my collection. Maybe just my WC collection, all Ferrari F1 … would still be a large collection even at that.

    Rarest or hardest....That is tough. I would say in 1/18th it was the Exoto C9 LeMans winner set (I have since sold) or the original CNC Mercedes W196 Streamliner. They seem to be the hardest for me to find after initial release. Since they have been remade by Minichamps and GP Replicas so not so difficult to get a version. 2018 McLaren Alonso was also elusive until a second batch seemed to be released. Helmets..probably my 1992 Mansel and 1993 Prost is the rarest since it was a customer small batch release from company in Argentina. If you buy at release things are easier but I do find these days if I wait sometimes I miss out and then its a hunt to get them. That said the most rewarding models are the ones you have to chase down. Lots of satisfaction once you snag it. So enjoy the hunt that is the key to the hobby more than having a large quantity.

I used to have both drivers for each team but somewhere in the early 2000's I realized I could not keep that up for budget and space reasons. Congrats on your collection and lucky for you the 2022's in 1/43rd are starting to arrive now for most teams...I will be stuck waiting until mid next year I am afraid. Happy Collecting!

    Hello, wonderful collection!! Like others say, you have more cars than many hobby shops. I started my 1/18 collection back in 1994, as a matter of fact, I bought my first two cars while living in Mexico (I was there for work and I love the country as well). For many years I "abandoned" collecting cars but this year I re-started, I have about 36 cars. I'm concentrating on the Ferrari F1 winners, I have some lambos and Mercedes as well. Obviously, I have a long way to go, but like you said, it's the "hunt" which makes everything so gratifying. I would pay to see a collection like yours. Have you considered opening a small 1/18th museum somehow? Again, congratulations and cheers from Miami!

    That's great your back in the "hunt". I have had big years and smaller years like this one depending on my interests and the cars being produced. Ferrari winners will give you a great focus. They key to me is a focused collection...I get off tangent some time and have to correct myself occasionally. A museum would be fun, unfortunately I do not see younger generations as in to collecting as my generation. Maybe I am wrong.... I lived in Mexico and used to have a guy there sell me decals and do some of my early Tobacco conversions...I have since taken up the conversions as part of the hobby and enjoy that aspect as well.

It was the mid 1990's with UT and Autoart and Minichamps that my collection really took ground...coinciding with getting a job and earning money to fund the collection. So yes 35 or so years of collecting. I buy less now than I used to and tend to sell about as many as I buy these days as space is limited. Happy collecting. No need to have 500 cars.... just get the ones you want and keep your collection focused. Trade or sell as needed. It is a fun hobby and glad to see new people getting into it.

    That is very kind of you. I was definitely a dream come true to have a proper display setting after decades of stacking boxes for a display. I have found cars all over. Some times when traveling but mostly from dealers. I buy from ebay occasionally for ones I missed but a lot come from European dealers. Currency exchange and good service tend to drive my purchase locations. Sadly no local shop here as there was when I was a kid and first started collecting.

    Wow at first, but a lotta 'em is resincast, and saw some omissions too. Like every collector, I started by telling myself I will get only 5 my most favorite; now my collection stands at fifty or so, and frankly I already finding it too large- as I am not a museum, just a guy enjoying automotive design. I've seen some other enthusiasts collections, and I am finding that when it comes closer to magic 100, the quality starts suffering as the artisanal CMC's and Exotos and BBR's and even Autoarts start being watered down with HotWheels and Maistos and Minichamps and Burragos, and Norevs... Anyways- your is impressive collection but I am also grad it is yours and not mine if u know what I mean. Cheers!

    Hahaha yes once you get above a certain number be it 50 or 100 it can become somewhat hard to enjoy them all. Only certain brands produce museum quality and I try to gravitate towards quality over quantity these days. But in cases I might have a CMC Ferrari in my World Championship collection then a crappy CMR for my same year in the Ferrari F1 section. Also a period where Hotwheels had sole rights to Ferrari killed my Schumacher collection. But as a collector I needed to have them. Yes some omissions that is part of the "hunt" I enjoy in collecting and resin has become an increasing presence with Spark LeMans and GP Replicas and others who are now filling the gaps. So yes more like a Diecast / Resin collection these days. Thanks for watching and you comments. Happy collecting.

    @@gmlcartalk I'd say that it is a wrong question to ask oneself about what's wrong with...? -It's a meaningless question: For example, there is nothing wrong with living on bread and water alone! But when you can have a Belgian waffle with maple syrup and a cup of Sumatran coffee for breakfast, why choose bread and water?? The truth of the matter is - everything is best known in comparison (as an old adage goes), and, in fact, you answered your own question: - QUALITY!! Besides quality there is indeed not much wrong! Except, that the quality is the ONE important thing to pay attention when collecting... It is not even the question of verisimilitude - because, for example, sealed resin-cast models have most truthful exterior. BUT, at least to my mind, they lack TACTILITY that the use of "nobler" materials: - metals, real rubber and leathers - elicits and brings to the fore. Nowadays CMC uses more of those "noble materials" in their models than just about anyone. This was not always the case but now it is. Autoart's glazing surrounds and even ABS bodies are more precise and more to scale, but they are plastic and when you hold an Autoart model in hand next to a CMC model - you immediately know the difference as it is not subtle! To me personally it always been about quality rather than quantity- in all things in life: I'd rather have one nice house than two mediocre ones. A CMC model in hand is something special and a thing to behold, and I'd rather get one CMC than six Burragos. Now, when I take a Norev or a Burrago in hand, it feels like crap, because of quality difference

    Sorry for the delayed response. It would depend on your preference of car. Meaning racing or street. I think that Minichamps is my over all favorite for good quality and reasonable pricing. Everything is more expensive by a large amount but there are more brands now which is good. Minichamps for F1/Endurance/Street. Auto Art high quality street but getting too pricey IMHO. Werk83, IXO, Norev all make nicely priced race cars and some street cars. If you find the type of model your looking for in the Werk83, IXO, Norev you will have a nice model without breaking the bank. Minichamps has a variety of prices so fair some a bit questionable like F1. Sorry if that is not clear. If you have a specific car in mind I might be able to narrow down my response.

    Most all of the Formula 1 are closed no openings (a few do). The GT and Endurance cars I would say are 50/50. Minichamps typically yes but a lot of the LeMans winners are Spark which is resin so no opening parts. The Street cars mostly open. I used to only want opening parts but if I am honest I probably only open them when I get a new car but rarely after that so I have become okay with non-opening cars. But if I had a choice would be great if they all opened and if more F1 cars had opening engine cowlings.
