    Thats not bad :)

    But my 1/18 Ferraris alone is more than that.

    I consider myself crazy. The size of your collection is good, keep it that way, or else you would just run out of space and thats no fun when you have to store most of your collection in boxes :(

    Enough-never. I can see a couple you are missing, and a couple more, and then these was this one.........You get the idea :D

    Nice start though :)

    I spent almost 150,000USD for my collections... but not count for the price (around same value of the collections) of an apartment to decorate as my own collection room (indeed I don't live there and just keep all model cars there)

    Nothing personal but why? You could have the real thing for that kind of money, unless of course you do...but your profile shows you don't...so now I'm confused...sorry ;)

    Do you collect hand built models?

    my father has about ( from last count ) 2100 models of various sizes... they range from 1/5th to 1/43 with most in the 1/12 and 1/18 scale. I only have about 50... again in various sizes.. mostly in 1/12 and 1/18th.

    Dad has been collecting models since the late 50's.... so he has tons of them and that number does not count slot cars! he's got about 350 - 400 of those as well... He's down to only one full size real scale Porsche...the first he ever bought.

    I have 2 diecast Ferrari's in a collection of 150. The rest is handbuilt, The value would be sufficient to get a 1:1 Ferrari, but strangely enough thats not gonna happen!

    The 1:1 I would like to own is the one I can never afford.... Anything less isn't worth ruining the dream.

    Just got another 1:14 Carlo Brianza....
