Little Cars

[Vortex]

I blame Marty for making me start this thread. Lets see your little cars; here are mine:

PS My favorites are the ones in the second pic, they remind me of that old "Car toons" magazine!

[SC Cheesehead]

Great stuff, Jim!

I had quite a collection, back in the day. There prolly still stashed in a box somewhere in my Mom's house.

I see your 21 car in the third pic, too. :up:

... they remind me of that old "Car toons" magazine!

I used to love that magazine.

Got rid of my model car collection many years ago.

[SpartaPerformance]

I only have a few cars, I wonder if Blackened300 will post. He has a nice display of model vehicles.

Cool cars, and nice scrolls you got framed there, one looks like a blue nose?

I also see that you are a Flashman fan. All of it is real you know.

Yeah Casey, 2 plankowners and 1 bluenose, we were off Murmansk in 1976 on the Luce. As for Flashman, everyone I know that read the first one has read all of them. As for dust, ah, sad but true. My office is my "fortress of solitude"!

[martyo]

I have a pretty good collection in my home and work offices.

I will get some pics up.

Die casts are one of my passions for sure!

Nice! I have a de-com plaque from the Luce here somewheres.

Seriously... Edwards? :-)

Oh...and the cars are cool. Like the ones in the first pic.

I liked the guy and agreed with his politics until I learned he was a total dirtbag PoS.

Heres what the truck sounds and performs like. Tommy from Sparta can tell you how realistic this thing sounds in person.

All my other cars are stored away in my closet. I have a lot of Franklin mint cars and trucks along with licensed NASCAR collector signed cars in the box. I also have a extensive Hess truck collection since 1976. Those are stored in a trunk in the original boxes with bags and batteries.

[martyo]

The truck is bad ass!!

[Blackened300a]

The truck is bad ass!!

Thank you sir! It gets more attention then my Marauder when I take it out.

[SID210SA]

That is very detailed.....love it.....

Those Tamiya models are a *****, I used to build F1 cars back in the 70's and you had to build the springs for the suspension and run plug wires! Nice collection!

The truck has a 3spd manual transmission complete with syncros and forks. You have to install all the gears with bearings then align it so the gears mesh. The rears are a working differential with spider gears and a ring and pinion. Very detailed and time consuming putting this thing together, but worth it when you see it run and function like a real truck.

[Mr. Man]

Hope you haven't been storing batteries since 1976. I used to have a Hess tanker when I was a kid, early 70's, but Mom did some cleaning and "poof" gone:mad2::bigcry:

I couldn't have one of those, I'd be smashing thru the rest of my car collection with it. Pretty cool, tho :beer:

[jstevens]

I collect 1:18 scale. What's yours?

[SpartaPerformance]

That truck is bad ass! All the sound effects of a real 18 wheeler, it even has a brake squeal when you stop..... crazy!! :D

[martyo]

Here are pics from one of my cabinets.

I will take more pictures of the others when I have some more time.

Hope y'all enjoy....
