Here are a few 'photos of the rest of my collection. I was lucky enough to have space and lots of display cabinets until I sold most of my models some time back, however once a collector always a collector and I have been slowly ( and secretly) adding models again.

Amazing collection!

BTW - to quit smoking seems to be easier than to quit collecting ;)

Quite possibly. I gave up the former habit, but always find a way to return to the latter!

You have a very nice collection, Rod...I like the Super Kings. Do we see a built-in cabinet in the third picture, or is that a trick of the camera angle?

A very nice mix of model brands and a really good selection of Matchbox items, plus a few of my favourites like the Revell Rolls-Royce Phantom II and Scalextric, never thought I would see those Two mixing it together in One collection!

Thank's for showing your models Rod.

No, not built-in, just a common or garden IKEA example!

Love the Bugattis. To get a variation on a very hard to find variant takes some doing!
