Inventory.... I have many race vehicles and so I use excel for them. I also have a multitude of cars and pickups that aren't related to racing. What I have done there is taken or copied pictures from another source of the models I have and added a description of what it is. For example:
Under the pic I add [1x 1959 Pontiac Conquest 1:43]
The 1 x lets me know that I actually have that model. I do the same with folders as in companies IXO, MADISON, BROOKLIN, ETC Whatever is in that particular folder I have with the 1x designation.
I have so many race cars and transports that I have them in individual folders all in one large folder pertaining to race vehicles. That's the picture end of my inventory I use excel to itemize year/ model/ driver/race/finish/ manufacture/ and scale

If you really want to have photos linked to your inventory, then...
use a cloud based solution. hobbyDB is one good example. You can make it public or keep it private.
Can you see mine?

NOTE: I actually have not used this feature of hobbyDB, but am thinking about it.
