nicely put George, especially if Bob would take us for a drive in his magnificent T'Bird!@geoff-jowett Geoff, I am duly impressed sir not only by the extensiveness of your collection, but by the quality of the display cases and how they are arranged. If you weren't half a world away and I wasn't so old, seeing this in person would be a highlight of my life.
I'm with you on this Mr. Jackman. I think it would be a thrill of a lifetime if all of us were able to be closer to each other, so as to get to see everyone's collections in person. As a car lover, it would be the closest thing to Heaven while still here on Earth.
OH WOW! Yes! A ride in Mr. Jackman's T-Bird and just hear his stories in person would be the ultimate ride.

I agree with George. I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's displays. There's a lot of similarities in what we all collect.
Hey Bob, I just watched the YouTube video of your collection. SPECTACULAR!!! Sir, you are the Collector of collectors!
@david-vandermeer Beautiful displays David. I too am enjoying seeing your guys collections. This is great.💯👍
@geoff-jowett Geoff, I would be thrilled to take everyone for rides in my 1/1 scale cars and I might even let you drive them. The beauty of this forum is corresponding with like minded people every day...getting together in person would be the answer to a dream. Thank you George for suggesting this theme...what a wonderful idea.
@georgeschire Thanks George! Really enjoying yours and everyone else’s collections. I was having a hard time figuring out how to best display cars in my corner cabinet since I had run out of room everywhere else and was inspired by previous pics of your collection and how you had the display cases stacked. Problem solved! Thanks!

YES, "Collector of Collectors"! I have given Mr. Jackman this honor for years now. His collection should be the envy of every model car collector! I know it is mine! And in the videos I've seen him in talking about and sharing his collection, he comes across as just a down to earth average Joe. Seems like a guy you could chat with for ever, and not come up for air. We are blessed to have him on our Forums.

You are welcome! I think sharing our collections like we are doing here, brings us even closer together as car loving friends. And Mr. Jackman (and I always refer to you this way, because of the total respect that I have for you), I feel you are the Dean of Collectors, or as Pete Rovero tagged you, "the Collector of Collectors". Know that you are held in the highest esteem.

Wow! I just wanted to say how much I’ve been enjoying this thread. The collections being shared here are truly impressive—so much history, variety, and great taste all in one place. Thank you all for the inspiration and for keeping this such a welcoming and enjoyable community. Looking forward to seeing more of what everyone has!
Hey Geno so sorry I missed your response, there's just so much to see and read in this great post I missed it. Of course I, and I'm sure all of us, would really like to see the individual shelves,@geoff-jowett I could also do a pic of each shelf if there's interest, I know its kind of hard to see all the models from the overall shot.😊
thanks
Geoff
I hope we can keep this post going. Let's highlight not only our overall pics of our collections, but how about individual pics of certain models? I think we have many conversations to share. And thanks again for all who have shared and participated. This is a fun one!
