I have a bunch of 1/18 diecasts. I stopped buying them because I knew it would get out of hand. I especially like the race versions that are painted up.

I also collect diecast Japanese robots and I stopped doing thatn when I had about 70 of them. Most of them are the same brand.

Send me a pm on a price on that 97 white Saleen

The fast furious section in the middle and foxbodys on top.

Only ones worth collecting were/are the 1/18th scale. I have about 20 of them, but I gotta go to my moms to get em.

That one is Auto Art, probably sells for around $250-$300. I’m not selling any of them though.

 

[MrMezger996]

I agree, 1/18 has the best details. AutoArt, Exoto, Bburago, Maistro are some of the nicer options in my opinion. I buy them to display them, I don’t keep the boxes so that would hurt resale but that doesn’t bother me. One issue is they take up alot of room.

Auto art is a nice quality I have the yellow 97 saleen, 2001 bullitt, and 2018 cobra jet in the auto art.

Been telling myself for years I'm going to build display cases around my barn and go get mine but I haven't.

1/24 are also nice but the hot wheels size I can’t get into

 

[DEEZUZ]

Hot wheels are automatic. Lmao.

My dude just picked up 4500. From 60s to current. He's been going through for the last few weeks.

Hmmm not sure I’ve seen GMP ir at least noticed, is that the same as Greenlight?

 

[DEEZUZ]

Me and my cousin destroyed alot of models when we were kids.

I had this one and I strippes it down and painted it red and never put it back together.

This silver bmw M3 is the nicest one I have I’ll have to look what brand it is but the interior is top notch and the car is real heavy compared to the rest.

Oh man!! That’s great though!

I build model cars and bikes. Die-cast is boring.

 

[Pro Stock John]

I don't really want to spend more money on 1:18s, but if I did there would be a few I'd pull the trigger on if I was not spending so much money on my cars:

Mad max, Auto Art
Hirohata Mercury
1964 Ford Thunderbolt lettered up cars, and other vintage races like that.

The Mad Max one is a few hundred.

Reminds me growing up a neighbor’s dad had every available Pocher kit on display in his study.

We were both forbidden to go in there and just stared from the doorway all the time.

I'll take pics soon. I like building shit like my real cars. Also the only subject I ever truly liked in school was art. I look at building models as an extension of art. I have steady hands and can paint well and I like the details. It's real easy to have $100 or more in a kit to build with supplies.
Problem is projects always stall and I have hobby ADD and can't focus on everything I'm interested in all at once.

If you wanna throw up on kit prices look up model factory hiro. Killer stuff but insane prices lol.

I have a buddy who is into building tanks they look badass but it is very time consuming. Good thing they sell both one u can build and one that’s built.

Some guys are true artists. They build cars from a mix of kits that look real. It's incredible.

Here's some I've built, some pics I found on this computer. 1/24 scale Tamiya Porsches and Fujimi Nissan.
