White Metal Mania part II ...............(more many pics)

WOW! WOW! WOW! What a fabulous selection of models. I am also very partial to white metal models; they are the 1st 1:43 I started to collect when I rediscovered this scale. As of today, my white metal models comprise about 42% of my total collection.

Some very beautiful road candy, Ben. Thanks for sharing your collection with us.

You have superb taste! Merry Christmas!

Thanks for pictures. I have some of the same ones.

FANNNNNTASTIC!

Still more. A museums worth of fine models. Impressive!

Really beautiful display Ben!

Ben: Every one of those are treasures. Your photography really captures the beauty of each and every one.Thanks for posting.

Well done, both in choice and photography.  Thanks for sharing, too!

A more modest [and beloved] white metal subject also wishes everyone at Forum43 a Merry Christmas as well!

Hi Guys,

I too, love the white metal and most of my collection are of that type. They are substantial and quite accurate for the materials used. On high end models the chrome is outstanding. For me, they are a pleasure and challenge to enhance or modify. Also, I greatly appreciate the origins of their build. I know that many high end cars are priced unrealistically but thankfully, some are not with minor issues that are fixable. I started collecting with the Franklin Mint. They had great details but not great execution in the end. I did collect some early resins and built some Tron and Record. Never liked the final product. Most of the accuracy achieved by the new resins is very good to outstanding with some issues but quite beautiful. They are to me very fragile and fall apart on their own. Glad to see they fill the holes not covered by white metals but I still favor the white metal for the reasons above. IMHO

Thank you for posting Part II Ben, a very enjoyable tour. My favorites are the '50 Buick's with that unbelievable toothy grin.

These are the 1st of the higher end Brooklin's that I remember seeing and they have sure upped their game. The latest in my collection is the 1954 Mercury Monterey wagon in green purchased on 8/18/14. It still needed some detailing, appears that their latest offerings need less.  

Interior, two shots shown to show the seats because I don't remember if Brooklin or me two toned them? I like Brooklins because the dash and instruments are so well detailed that it makes an interior maven like me happy.

This model was definitely a step up from previous offerings in my experience.This model was definitely a step up from previous offerings in my experience.This model was definitely a step up from previous offerings in my experience.

It's not all white metal, but most of my collection is.

Interesting collection Ed. It has been fun to look at your displays. We share quite a few models and I recognize the black display cases. Thanks for sharing.
