My Hobby, Diecast Car Models Collection

[Usmanulamin]

Hi Everyone, I'd be sharing my hobby here i.e Collecting Diecast Car Models.
Let me brief what Diecast Car models actually are, these are 100% replica's of real Cars, interior, exterior, each and everything is replicated to the real car in a small scale.

The scale i am collecting is 1/18 which is sized almost 10-12 inches long and 3-5 inches wide depending on the car.

Ill keep the thread updated daily, i have got 100's of photo's to share
I hope you would like and appreciate.

Enjoy!

Apart from the fact that i personally see no sense in collecting other than real, lifesized cars,
your photographing skills are pretty spot on! Good work, keep it up

I find it way more pointless to collect "real, lifesized cars", as cars are made to be driven, not to rot away in a garage.

Apart from that... have you heard that most hobbies are somehow pointless? It's not the nicest thing to point out when somebody is showing off his efforts.

[Usmanulamin]

Hahahha you would feel it pointless but the hobby is afterall a hobby, we love cars so we collect the models, once you see them in your hands you will be like wow, there's a group on Facebook called Diecast Arena, do check it, people got 1000's of models and i guess if they sell it, one can easily acquire and 1/1 (real) ferrari

Ill keep on sharing my collection, and, thanks people for the appreciation, atleast for the photography, lol.

I used to do the exact same thing. Had about 50 of those 1/18 cars. But I played alot with them at first, so they became a bit ruffled up. When I got a bit older I started collecting them, and had a pretty nice collection. I almost only had supercars: Ferrari 459, Lamborgini Diablo, Dodge Viper, etc..

I think you should keep that up! I love it!

I collect 1/64 hot-wheels cars, but only real ones. None of that "Way-2-Fast" garbage. I try to get 'em in plain colors - I don't like the corny decals and vinyls. Right now I have 288 of them in wall display cases. Every time I transport them to another home (I've moved three times in the last year), I analyze them for chipped paint. If I so much as spot one tiny flaw, I remove them from my collection. I've spent about $1,000 on these cars so far. Some of them cost $100+, like the Veyron and Murcielago SV.

When I was younger, I had probably 700+ hot-wheels cars, that I played with all the time. Now that I'm older, I just like to make them look pretty on the wall. I also bought a sixteen-foot, six-lane downhill drag track for them. Aside from my 288 on the wall (in two 144 capacity cases), I have about 50 "racers". They're duplicates of ones I have in the cases, but these ones have the decals and racing vinyls. These are the cars that I send down the track. I have a few friends that have a solid hot-wheels collection as well (blame me for getting them hooked). We sometimes race our cars together, to see who has the fastest one.

Ironically the fastest car so far is a 1969 Firebird.
