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 images/smilies/biggrin.gif

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 images/smilies/wink.gif I still love em though:

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 images/smilies/smile.gif

Sorry guys.... images/smilies/cheers.gif
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. images/smilies/smile.gif

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 images/smilies/smile.gif

Okay...if he´s enjoyable.....let him stay images/smilies/lol.gif

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?
