Second Generation Ford F Series circa 1953-1956

Here is a 1/18 model of the 2nd generation of the Ford F Series pickup.

Again, I don't remember the manufacturer but I do remember that this was a well detailed one.

Buick Riviera

This is a nicely detailed Buick Riviera. I think this is a 1972 model.

Scale is 1:18

Maisto Hummer - A personal favorite

I have a simple rule for choosing diecast toys for myself. If it looks good, I get it. I am not particular about the brand as long as the detail and quality is good. This applies to any scale.

The 1/64 scale Maisto Hummer featured here is one example. For one reason or another, many collectors have shunned the Maisto brand for Tomicas, Matchbox and Hot Wheels. Now while a good number of Maisto's are admittedly lacking in quality, this Hummer shows that one can overlook gems like this if the whole Maisto line is shunned.

Spark Models in 1/43 scale

The line of Spark Models is quite under appreciated in the collector community. So I thought I would post a few examples to show that they are worthy of serious consideration for inclusion into a collection.

A lot of these models are actually no longer with me and are in very good hands. A fellow collector realized how well crafted these models are and he bought out quite a lot of my remaining Spark models.
