I have a couple motorcycles.
Does that count?

Yeah sure it does! This thread is for diecast collectors - cars, trucks, bikes, tractors, all of them regardless of scale!

So I'm really excited as I've added a new car to my "wish list" for Christmas:

Limited Chase Edition Batmobile!

Ok, finally picked up some cabinets for my bikes, so here's some pictures. I'm going to try to get pics of each shelf, but the batteries just died in the camera...

Nice collection! What's the scale of the big one on the bottom? The cabinet looks perfect for your display. Is there any recessed lighting in it?

Ok, took a couple AA batteries out of a remote....

Not sure on the scale... already packed the original box away and am too lazy to dig it out... it's over 12" long though.

Just picked up the cabinets at Ikea yesterday... $59 each. Lighting to come later. The cabinets are set up for lighting, but it was more expensive than the cabinets.

Sweet cases.

I think the D16 is 1:8 - I have the same one.

Sounds about right. Was yours a $25 ebay special too?

The only thing that bums me out about the cases, is that the two transporters (1 WSBK, 1 MotoGP) don't fit.

Can you unhitch the cab from the trailers and get them in there?

Speedbag · November 19, 2009, 01:03:19 PM

Yep. my D16 was a cheap eBay score too.

What are the dimensions of the Ikea cases?

Probably could, but there's not really room left.

I have a 1962 Ford Falcon
a 1967 Kaiser M-715,
and a 1961 Chrysler Newport.

No pics right now, but they are all 1:1 scale
