Mini-cam videos of my "in progress" toy town.

Some have asked about my toy room. Well you can see parts of itin these videos. The first videos were taken with a keychain camera fastened to various toys.

Do a search for more videos and you will see how this evolved.

Be sure to ask any questions about anything.

 

i have a question..................are you crazy??????

and i thought i had a "collecting" problem.....

BOB....as if i already hadnt decided that I liked you....this pretty much solidifies your standing with me....

you got 'isews'....

...want another 'powerhouse'?...or 5...maybe 8??

 

off to you, we have a zillion hotwheels/matchbox also.

Can I come over, I'll bring my stuff?:banana:

 

I watched the slot car video and got dizzy...

Wow - you're seriously into it!!!

 

Yep! I've been heavy into toys for a long time. This is my favorite part of my toy room.

 

An amazing collection for sure... It kills me to see some of the Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars I played in the sand with as a kid selling for $50 or better... How did this happen???

 

The only difference between men and boys...

It's not nearly to the level you are at, but here are a couple pics of my 1/18 scale diecast "shop", which is actually a shelf in my office bookcase...

 

Very cool display, 442. I hope that when I get done with my train layout, it will make a nice backdrop for a display of a couple hundred of my toy cars. I will have buildings, signs, farms, hills, trees and several hundred little people.
You all are welcome to come over to play, trade, help me build, or just talk. It may be a bit of a drive for some of you, though.

 

Because a lot of kids played with them in the sand!

 

Yeah, Mom won't let me stay out past dinner...

 

OMG! this is exactly what i wanted to do! i only have one darilect car though...a 70 chevelle done by a hobby shop in ohio! im looking for a diecast 1/18 early 90's f150 and a jeep cherokee.(little cherokee)

 

I had visions of doing more... I wanted a building with the setup inside of it. I bought the scale walls and windows, but never go to doing it... Got too busy with my wagon...

 

Excellent diorama, Ian. Didn't know you could ge all those 'extras' like the quad, scooter and snowmobile in 1/18....

Did you 'age' the metal diecasts yourself? Tough work....
What did you scratchbuild?
