My Die-Cast Collection (Warning: Lots of Photos!)

Black_Hawk

Skilled
Hello folks,

I'm starting this thread to post photographs of my entire die-cast model collection. By die-cast models I'm including the entire gamut of scale model makes of vehicles, motorcycles, aircrafts and choppers. More than a show-off, this is going to be a sort of photographic tale of my collection of these models through the years stretching from my childhood till now.

I don't have too many in my collection, and they aren't always very expensive either but that being said the one's I do have, I cherish and take care of. After all we love our hobbies and always manage to spare time for them even in the spitefully busy lives of ours. I do happen to buy scale models from time to time and will keep this thread alive by posting photographs of the new one's I get... along with the older one's I already have.

I'll begin with these few photographs of my very favorite retro cars from Hot Wheels which my Father gifted me, way back in the golden 80's...

The above models have a fair amount of discoloration and wear due to the fact that I played with these for countless hours as a kid.

I'll keep updating this thread with my collection. Cheers guys and thanks for looking! :)

Oh man. I had the train engine and couple of compartments as well in childhood :D Also that space shuttle one. nostalgia.

I remember when I was small, having movable parts like doors on die cast cars automatically made you the baddest SoB in town:cool:
 
@adventureguy: Yup, your right mate...vehicles with opening doors, bonnets and hoods really made them all the more desirable to have in your collection!
