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.

Re: Most of my collection of die casts
in the photo with the yellow vehicle transporter, what brand and scale is that Ford Thunderbird? I would really like to have one in my collection! if its 1:18 scale that is.. Is it the Welly?
Re: Most of my collection of die casts
Hi Spanner. Thanks for the compliment. Those are all Danbury Mint or Franklin Mine 1:24 cars, including the DB Mint transporter.

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. I can only afford one of the real ones, but now I can have my cake and drive it too!
Re: Most of my collection of die casts
Wow awesome service you provide there!
Re: Most of my collection of die casts
I thought it was from Danbury Mint cars! I had a look at some and for 1:24 scale cars they sure are beautifully detailed! Puts many 1:18 cars to shame that's for sure! I'd love to get my hands on a Thunderbird but im keeping my collection at 1:18 this time round..
Your website looks great! Good to see that your providing support for not only your own but other peoples passion!
And that sure is a beautiful Corvette! Grand Sport yes?

Re: Most of my collection of die casts
Hey Spanner,
Yes, it is a 2012 Grand Sport. Just a tad over 10K miles. Only had 5.5 K when I bought it last summer, but I just can't stay out of in on beautiful afternoons like today.

Re: Most of my collection of die casts
In case yall couldn't tell, I was a branding professional. Made the decals for these 1:24 diecasts myself. That's a Jada rollback, and a Danbury Mint '59 Chevy Sedan Delivery.
