My 1/18 scale models and cabinets (BMW and Cosworth fans)

[dxb335d]

Im into my models big style. Been collecting from a young child. Have nearly the whole Michael Schumacher collection from new, which values have inflated like a bastid since his retirement

But the past few years ive been collection 1/18 scale cars. Started off with the Obsolete UT escort Cosworth collection. Have the whole set 3 times over, and was the first person to modify the road cosworths and sell them on ebay. Made a tidy profit. Everyone is at it now so i gave up.

Hers some cabinets when i put them up 6 months ago. Different cars in places now as you will see further down.






























This is how the cabinets are now with a few more additions















All my models are in mint condition and have mint boxes in the loft.


Must have well over 4k worth of models. (excluding the MSC ones, their prob worth near that alone)

I also have the whole collection (bar2) or the minichamps 1/43 Escort Cosworths.



135i in the top there in Sedona Red. (Still havent seen one of these on the road yet let alone at a dealers.)

Latest addition, another E92 M3 but this time in Interlagos blue.






hope you like my pics.

Im sure my collection isnt anything on some of you guys, but im only just starting out 9ohand im only young) haha

Repsol RAC 1997, the only non Group B 1/18 rally car I really want.

Nice collection, not a fan of the bling wheels on some of the cossies though.

Very nice indeed. Escort Cosworths are some of the best looking rally cars of the modern era IMO.

Where did you get the cabinets?

Still cant find them

Wow, incredible collection! Must've cost you a fair bit though as 1:18 Cossies seem to be pretty thin on the ground

Very nice collection! I have some of the same models as you - I have over 130 1/18 models scattered around the house with boxes for almost all of them up the loft.

Mrs just had a baby 5 weeks ago though so some models are going up the loft to keep them safe!

Yes you must. Not just for our benefit though but for your home insurance too.

How do the models stand with insurance anyhow?!
