I collect Hot Wheels cars and Die Cast cars in 1:24 and 1:18 scale. Hot wheels are great as you can drill the rivets out from their base and spray them in your own color scheme. I only collect the rare ones so i gotta make sure to buy two of them so i can kustomise one. :

Hot wheels dont as far as i know but Matchbox did release the EF/EL for the AFL. They were painted in team colors. If you want earlier models you got to go to Auto Art, Biante or Classic Carlectables. 1:43, 1:24 and 1:18 etc etc. They have all the XW-XY etc etc. Its too easy to strip one of those though, thats why i like doing the 1:64 Hot Wheels.

What do you use to replace the drilled out rivets? I have a few 1/43 Corgi Batmobiles and all new bits to restore them, but need to find a way of securing the bases.

Hi if you dont drill the rivets out all the way you can still snap the bases back on. May not be the most secure but if they are only for display purposes then they will be fine.

sounds like you must have been in the market for a car

[1970galaxie]

Amongst all the various stuff I have, I own quite an extensive replica gun collection, which are perfectly legal in WA.
Just don't go waving them around like an idiot, or carrying them on you for no reason, and you wont have a problem.

[jaydee]

Just about anything, I have fads, model cars (mainly old ones), recently brought a vintage bike thats pretty rare so collecting parts, also parts for the XC for the last 20 years ( so I have quite a bit now), John Wayne memorabilia and old movie posters, mainly westerns and some wary's, militaria stuff and on it goes.
It's just finding somewhere to put/display it all.

Those limited edition ones from '99, surfer ones and a gold/red one which im told is rare.
But i looked at them for the first time in 2yrs the other day, and a couple have leaked :(
Anyone know what to do with the ones that are still full? (drinking them is not an option, i did that once)
