If so what do you collect? I assume we've got plenty of model collectors here at the very least?

wow !
that's a really nice collection !!

I would love to do a photo-shoot on your collection alone.

Right now, I'm working on a Hot Wheels / Matchbox / Corgi / Maisto 1:64 scale Mercedes-Benz only photo-shoot. It's close to 250 pictures. Hope to post a thread in the near future...

that's a really nice collection...

my 1/18 scale collection is a mix of classics such as those,
and some of my favorite modern examples (McLaren SLR, G-Wagon, F1 McLaren-Mercedes, SLK, CLK-DTM, and C-Coupe).

gotta take some pics...

My 1/18 scale cars

Behold, my 1/18 die-cast collection. I started collecting them when I was 14 (I am 19 now). I have to keep them in the small corner of our third floor. They do not match the decor of the house.... poor cars... If you want to see the real cars or house, I have an online photo album http://photobucket.com/albums/b344/spots350sl/ . I took a separate pic of my Mercedes only products.

Here are my MB 1:18 scale ones... (I have a few more other cars, but here are just the MB's)

My favs are the SLR's and CL55 (the CL55 is the best quality out of all of them, it's made by AutoArt.)

So, does anyone here actually have MB collectibles?-bcollfli.jpg

I got the C36 from ebay around 5-6 years ago. It's made by UT Models. I thought it was awesome b/c it almost looked like my w202 C280 Sport. Too bad they don't make a C32 model.
