I thought I was in the minority for collecting models. Here is a pic of a few of mine in the lounge room. Mrs wont let me have any more in house. Also got Hotwheels and Matchbox in shed.models.jpg

[MENTION=399]Pacvan[/MENTION] ... copy that, 1:18 is the way to go.

Even tho I won't sell off any of my 1:43s or 1:24s I'll only buy 1:18s now unless it's something rare/special in the other sizes.
