So i've decided on transforming one of my unused rooms into a 'model' collectibles display room.

It will have diecast/plastic models of various items such as airliners, cars, starships, action figures, battleships/aircraft carriers.

Here are a few in my collection... post what you have but dont limit it to cars.

Fleet of airliners:

got lots more.. and lots more coming...but i dont think i have the patience to actually assemble/paint plastic models anymore...so going to stick with pre-painted diecast/assembled stuff only. Anyone wanna recommend/suggest some hobby stores that sell all sorts of stuff like this? (i'm aware of IMPERIAL HOBBIES..but there's gotta be more!)

No pics right now and might just be too lazy but I'll try later. Here's just a short list of things I collect.

- Tattoos if that counts
- Canucks McFarlanes (Not an avid collector where one would seek out and get every single model there is but I do have at least 1 of every player that was ever made, or at least I think
- At one point in time I was into WWF/WWE and still have a small collection of belts. Replica of WWE World Champ belt. Also have the cheap $20 ones of the Wold Champ, NWO Champion belt, and spinner belt.
- Weed if that counts. I'm always down for trying new strains and often have various strains on hand at once

That's all I can think of right now.

Acura604, could you re-upload some of those photos that don't show up anymore?

Would you recommend collecting 1:500 or 1:400 plane models?

my dads been collecting coins and bills for over 3 decades, and recently its starting to rub off onto me...

when i say coins, i dont mean collecting twoonies and olympic quarters. coins that are in mint condition, coins with defects on them, coins made in specefic years....example, my dad recently bought a nickle from the 40's i believe off ebay and he paid close to 100$ for it.

the first bill i bought was a canadian 1$ bill from the early 50's where inside the queens hair is the image of a devil's face

I just finished collecting specific issues of Manga for the series "City Hunter" and "Angel Heart" on a recent trip to Japan.

Going to enjoy reading those comics for quite some time.
