Collection stuff #1

Hi all,
Thanks to SMART for adding this forum!!

I know there are limits on how many pix we can link to, so here's my first few to wet your appetite.


Maisto, Special Ed. 1:18, Part #31852 (discontinued) found on eBay.usa.



Siku, super, scale ?, various part # 1303, 1067, 1042, found on eBay.uk.




Matchbox, Superfast Limited Ed., scale ?, part # 68, found on eBay.uk.



Enjoy!

Ron #1175

Hey Ron, would it be possible to include a brief word/comment on overall craftmanship/construction?

Also, if you might include a common item in the photo, like a coin, or pen to contrast the size?



Forgive my request/suggestions, Nice pictures, thx.

neat....I like the fact that since the fortwo is so small, that Maisto put two in one box! (I assume those are 450s?)

Thats a 2nd body panel set in the maisto box so you can swap colors like the real ones. I've already customized mine candy apple red,mags with wider tires, lowered suspension. and yes they are 450. hopefully soon they will make a 451.

ifishcat's request.

Hey ifishcat,

I'll add descriptions and measurements in future posts. I'll edit the ones I've already posted when I get a chance.

However I've already spent the time to snap the pix, resize and upload to photobucket so don't look for the common items comparison until I take more pictures ... great idea though.
