I collect 1/24 & 1/25 scale model cars, die casts, and Hot Wheels.
I also have a lot of dealer brochures.
Here are a few pics of some of my stuff.

A bunch of years ago (mid 90s) I got back into building models....I went like mad for a year or so and then lost the time again. I have about 50 unbuilt kits up in the attic.

Anyways, I mainly built replicas of cars that I had actually owned......heres a few, the real one and the model...These were all built from plastic kits, some parts had to be mixed and matched to get what I wanted...I also have some die cast of some of them, if I could find one close enough

I have a large collection of models and die cast 1/25 scale cars and trucks. I sold or gave away most everything but kept a few race car kits. Here are two I kept which I have never seen at any toy shows or on any websites. The Petty car is still in the celophane and the Waltrip car has been opened but the parts are still in their bags. They are 1978 Impalas that I have had since then.

spinner43 · NEW DUNDEE, ONT

Sorry, had a large collection of models. My wife wanted me to downsize so I started buying old Hotwheels and Matchbox cars. While I was looking for the models I found some other memories. Friends of mine and I had a racing board game and the cars sucked so we made or own. Here are some pictures of the modifieds I still have with a 5/16x1 bolt for size reference. We eventually made the track on a 4x8 sheet of plywood and used modified hotwheels cars. I will find those cars and post pictures later.

i m wondering if the two impalas weren t suppose to be for market in France since the writings at the top of the box are wrote in french first something rarely seen on the packaging of anything else you buy

some older tin toys and other stuff

spinner43 · NEW DUNDEE, ONT

Flatduck The french labels are stuck on the box and are only on the top. I bought them around '79 or '80 when the bilingual labeling was just coming in. I found some more of the cars we modified years ago for our racing game. They are modified Hotwheels, Matchbox and Johnny Lightning cars, some finished some not. What do you think.

spinner43 · NEW DUNDEE, ONT

Here are some others I found. All the other models and die cast are packed away until I finish the basement and set up the display cabinets but a new shop comes first.

flatduck · SUDBURY, ONT

great little collection i bought lot of model kits but never saw any ertl package in that kind of box

spinner43 · NEW DUNDEE, ONT

I have never seen them again. We used to go to toy shows around Southern Ontario collecting die cast and everyone I talked to had not seen anything like them either. Hopefully they are the Holy Grail of models and I have struck it rich. Not likely but it would be nice.

Hi!

I was curious to know if anyone knew of any Hot Wheels dealers or Collectors in Ontario. I have a bunch of Hot wheels diecast cars (still in the packaging) and I am looking to sell them off.

Please let me know!

Thanks

I haven't been here for a while, and it dawned on me that I never posted pics of my chip wagon now that it's done.

As well, here are two of my new showcases.

Furtrader · OTTAWA, ONT

Here are a few more I've been doing lately.
The grey,

green,

and black

hot rods were built from parts box parts.
I'm still looking for a few pieces, such as a grille for the green truck, and a pair of zoomies for the grey one (typically, I can only find one zoomie...).
I made the flatbed out of balsa wood about 30 years ago.
The '57 'Vette is a flip front MPC kit, the Goodwrench C5-R Corvette is a Revell prepainted kit (still have all the decals to apply), and the '57 300 C is an AMT prepainted kit.
