    As some of you may know..I used to be the owner of ScaleCars.com. That business gave me the chance to collect models for many years...I collected mostly BBRs...

    Here are the highlights of my collection!

    WOW!

    I love drooling over someone else´s collection.

    At first glance my jealousy is mostly pointed towards the BBR (IDEA?) 641/2.

    Is there a 365 GT 2+2 somewhere in there?

    Howdy!

    I fell in love with your garage in a previous thread, and now I'm falling in love with your collection! Beautiful!

    I collect vintage Corgi Toys cars, mostly from the 60's. I inherited about a dozen models, adding slowly to the collection.

    What scale are your cars? (especially the ones w/ the red Ferrari 18-wheeler)

    The pictures speak for themselves (because my jaw just hit the floor).

    :p

    How long have you been at this? Is this all in your garage?

    Thanks!

    I've been collecting since 1992 or so. Most the models on display are my BBR in 1/43 scale. Ive since sold alot and had about 2000 models at one point.

    I actually only have one Ferrari 1/12 scale model and that is the Kyosho F40. I also have a Renault by Tamiya as a built kit. Although at one point I had 2 versions of the F50, the Enzo, the MB CLK and 4-5 more Tamiya built kits. I also used to have two Rosso 1/8 F1. One with a Detail kit, one w/o. Pocher F40 & testarossa & 4 Amalgam F1s.

    The collection is in my garage and the display cases are by ACI. The Ferrari transporters are by Brianza, Old Cars in 1/43 scale and Herpa in 1/87

    I do have some larger scales left. Those are the 512bb (by MC?) in 1/14 resin, the Posiltil F1 in 1/14 (I think?) and the 312PB in the last picture (also resin) in 1/14 scale as well. I might still have my 1/14 scale 288 GTO by Brianza in a box too.

    I wouldn't even call it a garage any more: it's a showroom.

    Next time I go to Ferrari/Maserati of Ontario, I'll take pictures of their display case to compare (who wants to one up Remo?)...

    :p

    It is actually a 1200 sq/ft guest house. It has a bedroom/kitchen and the main room you see with the car. I have a "normal" 4 car garage, but this was specifically designed to be a Ferrari shrine, model room, mini theater, office & garage.....oh the things we do for our hobbies.

    Picture #5:

    Ferrari Tic Tacs?!?

    Edit: Personally, I wouldn't sell any of it. Ever. The collection's just too great (and I don't mean in size). Honestly, after putting all the effort in... Then there's the fact you'd have a large empty space where it used to be and you'd miss it dearly...

    Man, thank God you posted that photo - I'll be able to show my wife that I'm 'normal' and have a long way to go before I'm certified as a Ferrari or Lamborghini nutter!

    Seriously amazing though - if I can ever have something like that as part of my home I'll die happy. Fezza looks a bit lonely though, would look good with a Gallardo to keep it company. Good on ya!

    Well it kinda went like this...

    I had my 2000 models. I reached a point where I could not display even 1/2 of them. I had tens of thousands of dollars tied up. (even with BBRs costing me import prices). People called ScaleCars and started asking for this, that and whatever. For years I said "Sold Out"...then I said "Sold Out but I have one in my collection". People offered silly money for some of the items...and I started selling.

    To be honest...2000 is a buttload of models. Alot were in their boxes still. What I have now is a much easier collection to deal with.

    btw - nosecone is 1999 Schumacher. I bought it from the Ferrari Galleria in Oct 2000. It was made by the Ferrari Race Dept as a replica/ non functional nose cone.
