Default My 1/18 scale diecast collection.

Hello everyone, I'd just like to share some pictures of my diecast collection with you all. In the images below are about half to 2/3's of my collection, I have around 25 Porsches that aren't in the pictures below.

I also have a website dedicated to my diecast collection called Exotic118

Awesome man! 3 mclarens, F40s, GTOs out the wazoo! Nice site too. Did you photoshop the road across the lake for all the detailed shots for the cars?

Actually, yes the road was created in Photoshop but I was not Photoshopped into the pictures. I printed it out on paper and attacted it to a shelf and just brought it outside to photograph on it.





Then I just crop the image

Nice touch 8) ... Thanks .. you obviously will exclude those flowering plants right - will make the cars tiny by comparison ...

Yes, that's correct, I have 4 UT McLarens.

I picked them up early last year while vacationing in Brazil. I got an incredible deal on all four of them. $12 each. I should have bought more.

Congratulations on a great collection, I've got about 25 cars myself right now and I hope mine grows to be like yours eventually.

Do you also post on the corvetteforum.com???
I recognize the orange TVR.
With that said, that's an awesome collection, and an awesome website you got.
