New Additions

The 50 models acquired this year which take the total to 400 since I started collecting about 10 years ago. The total would be much higher but over the years a fair number have ended up in my scrapbox (there's about 50 odds and ends in there at present - incomplete projects etc) and some have been re-sold, given away, swapped or totally wrecked and thrown out! To start with, some images of the latest Avant Slot 207.

Often people ask me if I actually play with all of them. Well, of course, I don't!! Some are bought just to look at: they might break if I played with them and then I couldn't sell them for a huge profit in the future!
