Thought I would resurrect this thread after discussion here --> http://www.aulro.com/afvb/general-ch...tors-abc1.html

I note a few of the early photos are gone(must be that rapture thingy) so feel free to post or repost your models.
I started buying them on ebay a few years back and have about 50 or so piled up on the shelf.

Here are a few of my favourite models.

The Police S3 has a working siren, I also love the orange Dinky with trailer - its from the 50's. Very hard to find without a broken front bumper, at least I have the Gentleman Driver!. The little 90 is about 16mm long.

G'Day Sleeps, yes, that programme has fired me up again and I might get back back on Fleabay and see if I can increase my collection of Landies from 11.

Actually when I went to the LandRover Expo at Castle Hill last year there was a guy there selling model Landies. Might check him out again this year!!

G'day Aus. Yes you can pick em up pretty cheap and before too long you have a <<insert collective noun>> of little landies. I also look on US and UK ebay as the aussie dollar makes it worthwhile.

My favourites are a the beaten up ones. (Bit like the real thing )

What I need is a nice display cabinet.

Was he there in 2010 or 2009 and did he have them in the back of a 130 hcp tub trailer?

Finally got around to getting some photos of mine . Not all that many but some interesting ones I think.

The whole collection -







This is one of my favourites since I have never seen another and it is a fun model .





This one I believe is also fairly rare, it is a modern tin model, quite large and seemingly fairly well made.



This is one you have to put together yourself but it is still diecast metal.



This fella standing on James Bond is fairly unique as well, with a little bit of work you can see his transformation.







This RC D3 looks the goods but unfortunately it can't live up to it's muddy paint job . It is only 2wd and seems to struggle with any decent hill.



The others all have a little bit of a story, a couple of nice Series 1s, a good set of Series 3s and the James Bond ones have the booklet to go with them.
