Did not see a S2000

 

My goodness, those are some pricey model cars. It got me thinking about how much I have invested in my more pricey ones. I have over $1,000 invested in 14 model cars.

 

I'm sure TX Jim has quite a bit invested too. He has a nice collection.

 

Pics,please !

 

Next winter when we get snowed in.

 

My collection is...um...modest. One Japanese version NA1 Honda NSX in Berlina Black and one US spec AP1 S2000 in Silverstone, both 1/18 from AutoArt.

 

Mike, AutoArt makes quality models. Gee, several of mine are Lindberg plastic make-em-yourself. I must handle with caution as 60 and 70 year old-style sniffing glues dry out.

 

Mine range from Miasto to autoart.Lately mostly NOREV of late.

I favor LeMans winners and LMP1 but don't have shelf space tp put them out.



And of course the Mercs I've owned.



Somewhere along the way, much to my chagrin, my S2000 got lost.
It's funny trying to find other older cars I've owned. renaults, a chevy pickup an rx7 are all stupid expensive when you can find them.
they were either to generic to be interesting or too oddball n numbers.

 

This is a 'partial' of my collection. One of these 'snow' days I need to update it to include a collection upstairs, a total separate collection in the garage, and stuff scattered around the house.
