  • Do you have a model car collection? Mike gives us an insight into his own collection, which actually amounts to a slightly scary valuation when you add them up. They are rather lovely though...

    As an 1/43 collector, when you pulled out the hpi triple set, i got goosebumps. I’d give my left one for the Sauber-Mercedes set, but the Porsche or Jaguar sets are just as awesome.
    That exoto xjr-9 is just breathtaking, btw. Also, while getting a xjr in 1/43 might be easier than 1/18, actually sourcing one with the silk cut decals took me months of patient eBay watching (thank you, seller from France!)
    Currently, I’m only one TWR XJ-S etcc car away from finishing my racing jaguar collection and as much as I spend on models, the technology and stories they all represent never fail to bring joy to my life.

    Thank you, Mike, for sharing your car collection. Exoto makes excellent scale models. I had a phone conversation with the owner of Exoto a number of years ago. He was extremely passionate about getting all of the details correct on the race liveries. If you are interested in very high quality 1:18 older classic race cars check out CMC scale models.

  • @SergeantMoetz

    I had 30+ 1:18 models placed in my display cabinet and one day while I was cleaning the models the shelf supports gave way and my complete collection came tumbling down out of the cabinet in front of my eyes. Half of the models had minor damage but the resin models especially were completely destroyed. One of the worst days in recent memory so I totally understand your behavior when handling your most precious models.

      Not really, he even payed way more than some of them are worth. It's a shame, because he could have gotten better versions of them for almost the same price. The exoto is the only one that's kinda in its real value. That's what happens when you don't know where to buy nor investigate enough before doing a purchase. I'm not saying it's a bad collection, though, it only saddens me that it could be greater for less.

    Beautiful collection. I am also an obsessive model collector (mainly 1/16 tanks and 1/32 lead soldiers) and I can tell you that you must get them out on display. The joy of a collection for me is to see it all together and be able to compare items. You just need some decent glass cabinets. Enjoy your wonderful cars. Every time you walk past the cabinets you will stop and admire them. It will make you happy every day. I have 6 separate collections (models, amber, ancient silver jewellery, meteorites, prehistoric stone tools and RC vehicles) and they are all on display. My whole house is a collection. I admire them all the time. Pretty sure Buddhism is not for me...

    I can't believe I'm watching and enjoying a video about model cars. Then again, I did the same for Doug Demuro's models. I'd love to get a model made of my truck once I get the dark gunmetal wheels and carbon fiber tailgate/roof spoiler on. It'd be a sweet looking model.

    Please please do content on the Aston LMP1, Peugeot 905 and even a history lesson of the Jaguars that raced in Group C. Amazing models by the way. Thanks for the video.

    I thought of the Peugeot just before you mentioned you'd like to drive it because of its engine 👍 you should also get a model of the #55 Mazda 787B from 1991 in 1:18 scale and then create some content with that 😉

    I like model cars and have a couple of slot car models and airfix models. One of my favorite things is a model car.

    Great collection. What bugs my minds is that ONE Amalgam models is still cost more money than this entire collection.

      I bought my first and only Amalgam 1/8th Ferrari F2004 F-1 model a few years back. The most accurate and detailed model I’ve ever owned. Very expensive but so worth it when you display it properly. Has turned out to be a great investment as only 30 were made.

    Does the display box come as standard with the Norev cars or does it have to be purchased seperately?
