Bob Jackman's Incredible Car Collection - Part Two...

Thanks to all for your kind remarks. To all forum members, should you ever be around middle Mississippi you are most welcome to visit us. I'm quite sure we would have something to talk about.

That is an awesome collection. It is hard to add more comments than the ones stated in above replies. However, we can easily consider your house a Diecast Hall of Fame.

All I can add is a short comment to summarize.....ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!  Thanks so much for helping to create these videos and sharing your collection with us; very much appreciated!

Firstly thanks Tony for posting this.

Now I finally had the time to spend uninterrupted to enable me to enjoy this. Most of what I have to say has been said by this time. Bob, what an inspiration! I love that you have crafted your house to enable everything "apart from 5 or 6" to be displayed. Great to see again.

@jack-dodds First of all Jack I'm so glad that you are posting again and hope your recovery is coming along good for you. Rob, who does these videos, is a very talented guy. He found me a few years ago through a mutual friend. When he contacted me and told me what he did, I didn't clearly understand, as I am technology challenged, he assured me that wasn't important but the knowledge of 1/1 scale cars was and in particular my 1/1 scale cars. After doing the video on my 1955 Imperial, Rob asked if he could return and do a video on my 1963 Thunderbird and it was then he started to consider doing a video on the models. After he sent me the proposed video on the models he was hesitant that he had an audience for model cars. I assured him that big car guys would also like the models. When the part 1 video was released it got more likes and comments than anything they had done before. As a side note, the video on the Thunderbird became the number one liked on 1/1 scale cars. It's been fun doing these videos and sharing them with you fellow model car guys.

Again thank you everyone for the kind remarks. I could never imagine what started as a hobby, as it does for all of us, would become such a life long adventure. I am overwhelmed  that the little cars led me to the forum and the opportunity to share our mutual interest. What a blessing all of you have been to me.

@bob-jackman And you too have been a blessing for all of us Bob.  Thanks again!

Bob your collection is just amazing.  I have seen this video before and how do you keep up with all of them, so you do not purchase duplicates.  I know I have over 1000 diecast and about 400 plastic 1/24-1/25 models in my office which is a 12 x12 room.  My wife does not like my collecting, at least your wife does, since they are all over the house.  I have many spreadsheets with listing of every diecast and plastic kit I own.  My wife has been bugging me to start selling them off, but being only 68, I am not ready to do that.  In fact I am still buying more models as all call see with my postings.  My hats off to you, you only make me want to get more.

As the owner of a relatively small collection of models, compared to you, I am always impressed with your collection and your willingness to share it. Thanks for your contributions to our hobby.
