Hey BEEM3R.. awesome collection man.. just love the Pink Cadillac!!

And just a suggestion.. Fix mirrors in ur showcase behind the cars if poss.. will give a nice effect..

my collections:

some of them are supposedly limited. thats what hotwheels claim.

1. Ford Pickup & delivery Van. Pretty old one 1988




2. Some Buick model. known as FISHD & CHIPD




3. Corvette SR2




4. Corvette Stingray




5. Phantom Corsair




6. Some Hotrod - Overbored 454

Dodge Viper

Nope.
Only the phantom crossair, i picked it up from a lot of hotwheels my sis got for my cousins from USA, i was lucky to have a limited edition in that lot.

The rest of the pieces:

the ford delivery van and the two corvettes, i got from unsold stock in a toys shop. ( thats how you are supposed to get the stuff, ' from unsold stock in a toys shop. ')

as for the buik, i was lucky to buy from the fresh stock, directly from the box, b4 it going into the shelf in the kids section in a super-market.
that overbored rod, also from the same super market. bought it as a token to show what extent hot-rod can be taken to - have a look at the engine ! ! !

yaar kartik...give it a better background...it should look better then...

yes indeed, a good background and also use macro mode if your cam has it. take a look at the pics i have posted. they are taken in the macro mode (though the pic quality can be further improved if i had worked on it)

Guys am not too sure if I should ask this question here ,(mods please relocate it if needed)
I have been searching for some good RC cars in bangy but all i get are cheap chinese ones ...and its so strange cos I checked out a couple of RC's that my friends got from th US and the same company that has excellent finish there has horrible finish here ..

I have checked modelart but didnt like the finish. Help !!!!

Hey Mav.. thanks man I get great joys from looking at them each day... the Cadillac is the biggest model I have... its lovely... I need to add more shelfspace and when doing that I want to do mirrors and halogen lamps to the showcase. Added two more cars to the collection Mercedes 770K and a 170S convertible. Will add pics soon.

Try searching for Taiyo though difficult to find but one of the best japan has to offer,i have one dats almost 16 years old but still working fine

Thanks bro , would you know of any dealers in bangalore i could check? I have a Nikko , been around for about 15 years :-) Those things sure last ...

Well i have been quite impressed with this thread and have been inspired to collect as well. My first 2 purchases yeasterday..........a white gallardo spyder convertible & a Jeep rescue lime green. 1:18 size....
Just waiting for a right picture before i put them up here. With all your profesional type pics, makes me feel intimidated.

Here is a special edition VW Touareg 1:87.....yup it is really really tiny!!!!:p But comes in a beautifull box and a lockable base which can be easily detached from the car.

Continental tyres germany gifted it on the soccer world cup this year.

Bicycles 1:12 and assorted sizes..
Here is a part of my bi-cycle collection of miniatures. Will post more pics soon. Thinking of shifting to cars as well as there are only so many bicycle you can collect :mad:

Nice scale models M7... where did you buy these??
