I'm still in the process of building a website of mainly diecast toy cars (so far i've got over 1000 pictures added ..with at least another 19,000 to go.!!)I've not decided on a host yet (Virgin..whom I get my internet package from ..is No good for web hosting.!) ..There's quite a few vehicles/cars I have no idea what they are ..or there names ...so the obvious place to go for help in identifying cars ..is here with all our experts.!
As this part of the forum is not interfering with any part of the general site .. I thought i'd put a few pics here for ID ..if anyone can help.? (THANKS) I'm looking for the Make/Model/Year/Country ..of manufacturer (...the 'Real' Maker ...Not the maker of the Toy-model.!)
Mostly military stuff today (..Alexander ..where are you.! :smile: )
Here...are the pictures (..Hopefully.!) 2-views of each vehicle.

That's a good site idea :smile: Is it focused only on "toy cars" or also on model cars "for adult collectors only"? (i.e. Minichamps, etc.)

You can post pictures using imageshack like in the comments on IMCDb, but here only the link called "Thumbnail for forum (1)" will work.

Thank you Antoine ..I'll try in a while.! (..just back from the hospital ..after dropping my Mum home.!)
My collection is fairly mixed ...I have lots of New & lots of Old stuff .... and I don't just collect or concentrate on certain vehicles ...I collect ...everything & anything.!! (..that's the reason my collection is so large.!) ... I do try to limit myself to cars of 1/64th (drifting recently to 1/43rd scale) ...but some vehicles fall outside of this mark.! (Matchbox size buses are usually around 1/100th scale & i've got 1/86th scale cars too.!)..and as there is a much larger choice of cars in 1/43 ..I've No option but to buy larger scale models of cars i want (..recently got a Lamborghini Jarama.!) ..I believe I have a couple of Minichamps.! (as said ...virtually anything goes.) some rougher quality cars (including my collection of 'Summer'... which i've written about on Doug breithaupt's .."Tales of toy cars") ...and my Large collection of Corgi Juniors/Husky Models ..which I'm credited in Bill Manske's book of that name).. I buy as much different cars as I can (within my budget ..which at the moment is very Limited.!) ...but I have spent alot of money in the past.!
All Toy..Model..diecast(..even plastic.!)are welcome.! (..I had been trying to buy a Pegaso(car) ...Hard to find in small scale (available at one time from 'Anguplas'(1/86 scale) ...but prices soar ...past my Limit.!) ..I did manage to get a 1/43 scale car (..in plastic) ..at a much more reasonable price (..No great details ...But still a Pegaso..None the less.!) ...my collecting goe's on...every day.!
