Re: Eric's Diecast Collection (Koenig-Specials Countach)

Impressive collection. Are those 1:18? By the way, I'm into aquariums, but just freshwater. Salt water is way to much work for me!

Advice?

I somewhat new to collecting die cast cars. I built hundreds of plastic kits, but just can't do it to my standards as I age. So I started collecting mostly 1:24 Danbury, Franklin, and WCPD cars. I have a few 1:18 Exoto and others but it's a learning curve. I'd like to know the group's suggestions on...

Re: Most of my collection of die casts

I suppose that a disproportionate percentage of my models are Corvettes. I'm a life-long Corvette enthusiast, and got into brokering real Corvettes after I retired http://www.thevettenet.com .

Keep us posted on your progress. I'm working on a 1:18 repair shop diorama. I've done quite a few 1:25 dioramas with kits I built over the years:

Re: Long time model car enthusiast

I can't seem to get it to work. I placed the Photobucket link between the img markers, but all that shows up in the post is a box that says "image".

Most of my collection of die casts

I started collecting die casts a couple of years ago, and am still adding to my collection regularly. I'm working on better photos of the individual cars, and will add them later.
