...or wouldn’t it be cool if it really was? Found this 1/24th Danbury Mint (I think...I don’t have the car with me now) 300 SL cleaning out a bunch of my dad’s stuff recently. Would love to take credit for the ‘barn find’ condition, but it was Mommy Nature who gets that credit.

A BBC camera Citroën from Matrix for your holiday viewing pleasure....

These may be old hat to you Stateside folks, but these (and others) put a grin on my face.....

Can we ever get enough of the F1?

.....even an unpainted one?

‘81 M1, ‘69 GT, & ‘10 S7.....all 1/43rd. The BMW is Spark, the Saleen is IXO, but the Ford I don’t know. Nothing on the bottom and the box is deep in storage....

A couple of fine Gulf liveried SLSs, both by Schuco.....

...of course we can. 1/43rd Minichamps...

More to come. Gonna try to bring the whole family together soon......

Hopefully you LaLD folks can help give me some clarity. I’ve been a model fan for a long time, but 1/24, 1/43, & 1/87 have been my preferred scales. I collected Matchbox & Hot Wheels back in the late 60's (yes, I’m that old), but have recently, because of my connection here, gained a new appreciation for HWs, etc.…

There I was, all happy and satisfied with my 1/43rd, 1/24th, & 1/87th scale cars, when you people made me aware that Hotwheels and Matchbox still exist. So now I have to go out and look for their offerings (Siku as well). But, I have to admit, at least when they only cost me .94 cents (for the most part), I can’t…

Baby BoS 1/87th & dad is a 1/24th Danbury critter......

Hard to believe these are indeed the same scale. 1/43rd models by BoS. 1935 Rolls Royce Phantom I (that round door is pretty cool) and a 1964 Alfa Romeo Canguro.......

As a child, I really got into my Matchbox & Hot Wheels collections. That was a long time ago. I’m starting to have that love rekindled when I find things like this, a C7 German Polizei car. I live in Germany now and sure wish I could see one of these for real......

I can’t compete in the contest because my tree is indoors, but here are some of the ornaments attached to my fake tree. I know the Santa ones aren’t really about die cast cars, but I think they’re cool anyway. The Beetle & the Gullwing were obviously made to be ornaments, but the 2 Ferraris & the ‘Vette were simply…

I’ve always wanted a Tucker Torpedo in 1/43 but only knew of the version by Brooklin. They’re not cheap but when I found one on sale, I decided to bite the bullet. I was simply astounded at how much this thing weighed. The chassis must be cast iron. This is my first Brooklin. Are all their models this heavy? Since…

Hey everybody, I could use some insight here if someone has any info. I just received the two Big Lebowski ‘73 Gran Torinos I ordered from Amazon and am kind of stumped. I ordered one for me & one for my buddy who is also a big fan of the movie. Thing is, one came with the normal tires and one came, as you can see…
