Well, I haven't got anything exciting tbh - got these about 5 years ago and decided to collect them - didn't get very far - haha

I'll start with this little gem, which is probably worth bugger all

1/58 Porsche 959 (1986)




Ok, stop laughing - these are my actual cars - though still really cheap and probably not worth anything, seeing as they cost £8 each I still love em though:

1/18 Jaguar XJ220 (1992)






1/18 Porsche No.1 Typ 356 Roadster (1948)






1/18 Dodge Viper GTS-R (1997)

Yes it is, but it's more of a joke my friends started because I was the only one who defended Schumi during discussions. Now I get a Schumi car whenever they see one for cheap.

You can get one in scale 1/43 and I think AutoArt is planning one in scale 1/18

Sorry guys....
I edited my post and I´m not angry if someone does not like collecting models etc.
Feel free to post your collections, question if you search a model or just talk about them.

What swek said is true.

Jasonchui's enjoyable.

Anyway I wanted to know which companies make the best die cast models in 1:18. I've seen the AutoArt and will definitely be getting them but who else??

Exoto is the best but very expensive...

AutoArt, Kyosho and Minichamps are the three greatest modelmakers. If I had the choice in 1/18 I´d take AutoArt.

In 1/43 is Minichamps very big! AutoArt and Kyosho are equal

Okay...if he´s enjoyable.....let him stay

I'm no model buff like you guys are - the few I have are all Bburago - not the greatest build quality, I think - but you model guys might know more - are they good compared to anyone else?
