Do you have all these on display already @Turtle

Not yet. I keep trying to figure out ways to finagle more cases in and keep everything together (I am hoping to not have to split them on different walls, but I may have to do that). This is the change around for 1 wall for Ford cars I came up with over the weekend after unboxing Commodores and a Falcon (forgot to post the Falcon).

This arrived on Tuesday! 1/18 HobbyJAPAN 2nd Gen Toyota Soarer GT!

Very nice displays Turtle. Are they custom made or did you buy them as is?

My immediate reaction on seeing your collection was a wall built from 1/18th scale display cases rather than traditional bricks and mortar.
Incidentally, I try to face right hand drive models with the drivers side out, and the other way around for lefties....

Just bought this as the seller gave me a offer 53 Euro higher than he had it for sale, he must have got his original price wrong So i bought it at the original price LOL. Hope he honours it. I have the same 1/12 model from APM/Model workshop but without the driving lights at the front.

Excuse the low light photo, my overhead fixture is borked.

Edit: Added some brightness to the photo.

Those are regular 1:18 Carney Plastics cases. They give you options for the back (clear, mirrored, etc) and some have divided or undivided options.

Heh, the contractor that built the building had to crossbar a lot of 2”x4” braces horizontal to make sure we had places for anchors before drywall was put up.

I thought about doing that with poses, but I have the back wall with left and right facing depending on whether they are on the right or left side of the Ferrari case (which sits in the middle). I will take some photos soon of those. The right or left poses just kind of kept going from there.

Sorry to be a "party pooper" as it were. Please can you guys continue the display topic in the relevant forums. This one is just to quickly show models you've just bought.
Thanks.

Apologies there, my fault. I got off track and brought all other folks along for the ride.

Another 1:18 Hot Wheels C6 Z06 that was missing a driver side mirror. Already 3D printed a replacement and will be modified to be a Carbon Edition version of the car in Supersonic Blue. Also received my 1:43 Spark C6 ZR1 in Jetstream Blue 👍

 

[fnbadaz06]

… and, an Exact Detail 1:18 1970 Chevelle SS 454 that was missing a wheel was purchased for a good deal. This will be repainted and re-wheeled to become a replica of my 1:1 version 👍

Picked this up for a good price. Quite happy with it:

Solido 1990 BMW 850 (E31) CSI in Tobaggo Blue

Not happy that the 2 other diecasts it shipped with need to go back due to broken parts.

I love that STP car, that's such a great livery! Good stuff 🏁

Yes, hard to believe, but more Falcons. With my new photo setup (cost, $1.98 out of the coin changer and some folks will know the reference to that amount) of poster board, two angle braces, a tv tray and S.L.S.

Were these marketed as AUTOart - and although I enjoy looking at the photo's, the jealousy keeps growing....

Solido DBR9. Unfortunately rear wing got damaged during shipping...took a few days to figure out plan on how to get it sorted. I think I did a decent job, lines up well with the carbody. It is definitely noticeable where I had to glue the pillars but it sits straight and looks perfectly fine as a shelf piece

Congratulations! What a nice model it is and it was considered a great alternative to the sealed Aa version. I love the color on it and wouldn't hesitate at all to get one now.

Thanks! Was waiting for it to come up for a good price, almost gave up and would've bought the AA but then it did. In hindsight I wish the shipper would've put it in a larger parcel and pad it out but it is what it is. Live and learn

Yep, both Autoart marketed.
