This is a thread I can relate to...

I've been building and collecting Porsche models for many many years.
Ended up with over 1100 models all different scales. Hit the wall of what do we do with all of these at some point in life....no kids to leave stuff to so started selling them.
Still building though and mostly scratch built dioramas.
Hey Rob, how's it going, hope you're doing well! It has been a few years since I last met you at the Lit show and got to see your awesome dioramas up close and personal. Glad you're still building them!





A few new ones I’ve picked up:

1:43 scale

The above reminds me I have recently seen tv ads for what appears to be rc cars. McLaren looking and racing on a large table top track.

I happened across this today:
Apparently it's a first place trophy!
(I've never won a kart race in my life, but I'll live with the indignity.)

I've got one of those too. I was once drinking listening to some car racing buddies talking about their achievements so I told them I had a third place trophy from Sydney Motorsport Park. That shut them up. possibly :rolleyes: I was lying by omission by not mentioning it was the go cart track at the same venue.

Very cool cars - ahead of their time, I watched CanAm racing on TV in the 60s.
