    Here is my Ferrari Model and Memorabilia Collection. It's over 25 years in the making. Recently, I was inspired to find out just how big my collection really was. So on a whim, I decided to assemble all my Ferrari (and some Lambo, plus misc.) "stuff" to do a photo shoot.

    To be honest, I did not know what I was in for. Took me almost 3 hours to get everything in one place. Unfortunately, I did not have time to do a proper cleaning of all vehicles. So I'lll have to live with some of the visible dust.

    The hard part was to then get everything put back in the various nooks and crannies where they all reside in our house. Actually, I'm not finished yet. I'm most fortunate that my wife likes the enhanced decor of our house.

    So anyway, you'll see a variety of scales in the photos, from tiny 1/64 up to 1/8 (Pocher TR/F40). Most of the models were pre-painted and pre-built, and some I assembled years ago. Actually, if you count the authentic badges and rims, some items are 1:1! I've been told that the 308 pop up light still functions but haven't yet figured out how to power it.

    The only items not shown are my fobs (not OEM) and Mondial Fender (garage resident). Alas, a complete full-size Ferrari is not yet among my collection. Some day soon, perhaps.

    Although it was a labor of love, I do not want to do this kind of photo shoot again any time soon!

    I see you also have a Mythos. Back in the early '90s the lady's in my office surprised me with an early birthday cake (since my birthday is July 4th so no work) and they stuck a Mythos 1/12 on top of the cake. It took days to get all of the icing removed, good times. I have a Pocher F40 in my future and would also like a Pocher Testarossa some day.

    Thanks for sharing your collection.

    Thank you for the kind words! Yes that is a Mythos in there, but it's 1/18. I don't recall the manufacturer, now that I think about it. And it's already back in a display case!

    Very beautiful collection! 25 years is a nice number! Is the truck a CMC edition?

    Not sure. I don't think it is. I'll have to check it when I get home.

    That is awesome! I have a somewhat similar collection of Porsche cars. I just purchased and Ferrari and no longer have a 911. Wish you would be interested in trading some.

    Very nice collection! My collection is about 15 years in the making with plans for an actual Ferrari 328 GTS in May '14 when wife is done with grad school. I wonder why 328 models are not more widely available like 308's are?
