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

How do the models stand with insurance anyhow?!
Please don't quote me on this but i think you can declaire them as a collection and all will be fine (no extra cost to premium) but is best to have photographic proof also if you as me.

Hi,
Great collection. I'd like to have such on my wall. Nothing more to add.
Could you tell me, how do you think, which of 1/18 BMW models has got the best quality? Is it AUTOart, Kyosho or different?
I can see, that you've got also E36 coupe model - could you show bigger photo of that one? Is it still possible to buy it? On AUTOart and Kyosho websites there's no E36 models.
thx in advance,
Regards.

the e36 model is made by UT who went into liquidation many moons ago. You can source them on ebay.
Kyosho BMW models are far superior in quality to the AutoArt BMW models.
I have updated my collection since the start of this thread. I will update in due couse.
