Ya....Practice.....That's why I build with Lego. Actually the restoration project would have helped the Lego build. Knowing all the ins and outs would have been nice.

Wayne, after seeing this I thought that I should pass it on. This is the worlds most expensive model Lambo ever made. I think you should have one for your collection, what do you think?

These are of the original build. The model has changed for display purposes. Originally was fully functional with 4 speed manual trans. Working doors, hood and t tops. Lego 9v Motor powered built into a 350 looking housing. The model has been stripped of motors and light to be a display only. I am really proud of this model. Took a lot of hours and thought. The only non-Lego components are the wheels. At the time Lego never made anything big enough.






You can see the entire original album here:

Nice find Rob :seeya:

Sadly I had to cancel my order as it can't be ordered without Lambo doors and I'm really not a fan of them.

I'm still hoping Brian will make me a wooden C5 but hopes are fading fast so I may be forced to do a DIY out of Elmers and toothpicks.

I think this is the first time I've ever seen an example where someone could afford the real car yet not the die-cast model of their car.

I do.

It seems to be another one of my passions. Sadly they are a lot like peanuts, once you've had one you can't seem to stop.I took these photos yesterday and thought I would share.

stay tuned for more.......

PS, tried to post was told i am limited to "12 images, including smiles...."
just did a quick edit to keep Riley happy.

Wow! These are absolutely great. I like the Corvett and the Camaro. Maybe I should collect too, that would be awesome.

Wayne. I love all your die-cast. Those drag cars are outstanding!
I'm a bit of a NASCAR guy. This first pic has cars dating back to 1991.

Holy Smokes! You need something to say boogity, boogity, boogity as soon as you open the door!

Collect any more cars and you can start charging to have people come and view a NASCAR museum!

Riley & others.. thanx for the comments.
When I get the racin' bug then I turn to the slot track.
This is a temp set-up on the pool table for when we have friends over to watch the NASCAR races on the big-screen.



A couple of C3's on the track....

Wow! I have a few diecast cars but now after seeing these oics I don't consider it a collection anymore! Awesome collections!
A friend of mine has slot cars that he races in his basement and at a track in Brampton with his son. I'm blown away by the detail in these cars. Some even have working LED headlights/taillights! Not to mention modding the chassis, swapping tires and gears! Cool hobby.

What an amazing collection! You must be very proud, even better is the fact that you have your own display room.

Are you done or is it an ongoing process?

Hi Wayne..
Thanx for the comment.
The collection is never done.. but I don't collect at the rate I used to.
I add some quality pieces every once and a while.
I'm lucky to have my own 'toy' room.
I have yet to build a display cabinet for my Corvette die-cast.
