Kudos for Parkway saving the building. I’ve passed it many times and never gave it a second thought. It sat in the corner of a surface lot. It wasn’t in the heart of Center City so giving up the square footage, probably wasn’t that  painful. Nevertheless, they could easily have torn it down. And they certainly didn’t…

I’ve got a couple of Playforever models. Not quite replicas; they’re more like an homage to the originals. Their CNC series is the kind of thing that only heads of large multinations could justify to themselves. Mine are just the plastic versions, but they’re still beautiful to behold, and very tactile.

This would be it. I’ve been a modeler for 40 years and this is my best work yet. 1/12 Italeri kit of the Fiat Mefistofele race car from the early 1920s. It’s about 17 inches long. Lots of scratch built bits, including wood firewall and floors. 

I have been working on my own “McLaren Museum” for years. I became a McLaren fan in the 1970s...which is an unfortunate loyalty some years.

Now with photo (sorry)!

When I was a kid, my brother and I had a complete set of Matchbox’s Models of Yesteryear (1970s and ‘80s versions). My favourite was the Bugatti Type 27.

Definitely this little Alfa Tipo 33 Stradale.

F100 Ford Tow Truck 1/18

Picked this up in St. Tropez at a hobby shop on my honeymoon back in ‘99. Sweet.

1:18 1949 DELAHAYE SAOUTCHIK-BODIED TYPE 175 S

I got a collection of 1/18... A total of 98 cars, mostly Porsche but my most valuable are, because I got two, Pagani Zonda R carbon fiber.....

My Tyrrell P34 model kit I built during the peak of the pandemic. Really proud of this one and even have it in a display case.

This Baja Breaker van is usually the champion in floor drag races.

My most prized diecast is a pre-production Matchbox Dodge Viper RT/10 based on the 1989 concept car. Chrysler didn’t give it the go-ahead, and Matchbox re-used the casting as the “Sunburner.” It’s estimated that there are fewer than 25 of these pre-production Vipers in metal.

Not a car but a Pan Am Boeing 707 Freighter model that sat on the shelf of my colleague’s office for over 35 years until he retired and bequeathed it to me.

One of my favorites is this Corgi VW “Driving School” that came with a set of cones. I had one as a kid, literally drove the tires off of it and found that Lego tires were a serviceable replacement. I recently spent 30 bucks and bought another off of ebay. Its on my desk and I play with it regularly still.

Joke’s on the capsule, it’s probably the -least- deadliest thing in Western Australia!

Cyberpunk did it better.
