How many models were you able to add to your collection this year ?

I had 39 new ones.

Congrats! That's pretty decent. I have no accurate count and would have to go all around the house to count them. I'd say, unofficially, about 7 to 9. Three, for sure were 1/43rds, two were 1/24th and the rest were 1/18th I'm thinking.

For this year I added 2, one in Jan. a 1:43 1958 Ford Ranchero and in Dec. a 1960 Buick also 1:43

For Christmas: 

Minus a few!

I gave 2 - 1:18 cars ['08 Auto Art Bullitt Mustang & '10 Highway 61 Challenger to one grand son.

Gave another Grandson 76 - 1:64 cars

Twenty-seven 1:43 Cadillac models.

Looking through e-mails I've compiled the present list and it seems I've been a very naughty boy!  Santa will bring me nuthin for Christmas!

I bought nine 1/43 scale cars and sold a few of my existing ones. I bought four 1/64 scale cars. I also bought three 1/72 scale A4 Skyhawks in Blue Angels colors; two for display and one spare. Though not a model, I do not want to forget my Valentines Day present to myself, a 1:1 scale 2024 Nissan Z.

A couple of 1/43 buses to park with the Futurliner and 1/48 WW II trucks to compliment that B-25.

@david-vandermeer 

Who made the WW2 trucks?

I added 48, and sold 35. My interests kind of turned around this year. I was kind of bored with my Corvettes, and really got into the 30’s and 40’s classic Fords.

@brush 

Is your grandson a serious collector of 1/64 scale diecast model cars?

@ed-davis He has a couple hundred of them but most are the Hot Wheels $.99 variety.  The ones I gave him are the better quality scale models of actual cars, $5 to $15 cars.

I would have to venture a guess of somewhere around 50 models.  Looking around the room and what is still in boxes.

too many, probably 100+

Gave away more than I added!  Every year I donate some as door prizes for our local car show!  This year I donated over 50 1/43rd scale!
