    Hi guys, although I now own a real Ferrari, for the longest time I only dreamed of owning one.

    I would end up satisfying my passion by collecting 1:18 or 1:24 cars.

    So right now in my collection I have over 120 1:18 and about 60 1:24, and that's aside from my childhood hotwheels collections.

    Unfortunatly I've been actively collecting since 1980, but believe it or not alot of my collection is still in it's original boxes and packed away. they have never been displayed, not fbecause of any resale purposes, but more because I never had the space or the time to build anything.

    Even now that I've owned a place for about 7 years, I am still not able to put the time aside to display them properly. Also I've had so many different ideas on how to display them, but I end up putting them on paper and it ends there.

    So to get to the whole purpose of the tread.

    Appreciate other fellow collecters, get some ideas and also have my wife realize that I am not the only one out there still spending money on Model Cars.

    Wow, that's a much more sizeable collection than mine. Granted you've been collecting for nearly 25 years, it's still impressive. Over the last 2-3 years or so I've accumilated about 45-50 1:18 die-casts. Mainly F1 and Ferrari, I'm looking to expand to another case.

    These are pictures from a few months ago, and since then I've acquired a few more.

    Ramon, your collection looks very good and quite sizeable. Very nice. I like how you've displayed them.

    No, I wish I could make those cases myself (it'd save me alot of money...), but I ordered them. Not bad though, you can wall-mount the big one and whatnot.

    Oh yeah, and thanks. ;)
