Nice collection though. Looks like you need a display wall or something.

I got a TV stand and cabniet that I keep them in. I built some of those with my bare hands. Took 6 hours to build one of those Hemi motors. I built a Charger, Jaguar S-type, S2000. Only problem is I HATE plastic models, and its hard to find any metal kits of cars I already don't have lol. Throw in most kits are 1:24 scale, and I want 1:18. lol. I also have a shitload of motor bikes too.
If I had room I would start building plastic air planes though.Got a lot more pics of different cars...I'll post more if wanted lol.

785T/A I think a coat of clear over your T/A(model) will help it out a lot.
I'll post a few of mine to play along

If you think I built all those, I didn't. Most of mine come preassembled. I have built maybe 5 of what you see there.

You basically have to piece out everything. Prime it and let dry, paint it and let dry, clear it and let dry, I did that for every piece in the whole model. it took a long time. I put the decals on after like the "ram air" and corner lenses, then cleared over that too.
I wasted way too much time on it.

I always though Diecast collecting was a cool hobby. I haven't found to many metal kits that you assemble, well atleast ones that take more than an hour. I gotta cool blue Chevelle like the 68 Camaro I posted that I put together.
Once and a while when I'm out I'll grab a new model to put on the wall if it's really cool.

Metal kits aren't very popular. Only ones I find now are those stupid rapper style cars with 60000" wheels or the ricers. ha oh well.
I have built one of those Trans Ams too, but mines metal. Its black and I tinted the windows in it. I don't like it too well, cause I have a LT1 and all the diecast I can find are of the LS1....ripped off again haha.

Where did you find that Diecast LS1 TA model you assembled?

Wal mart years ago. Its made by TESTORS in their 'hot metal' line. I know this cause I use the cover for a picture here on the wall, well mom put it up. It came pre-painted but its a bare body, so you can change it I guess. I got 2 of them, ones black and ones the 30TH car, I had to paint the wheels blue on that one though to make it more realistic.
I'll try to get some pics later when I can.

I picked up that one in Carlisle PA at a big car show. It's actually got skinny's and slicks on it and a cage. It's kinda neat I'll have to look who makes it.
