Default Die-Cast (or other) Model Collectors

Who else on here collects die-cast models of whatever you're into?

I haven't got any cars, but I just received my first model Crane in the post.

It may sound a bit silly, but people collect sporting jerseys/memorabilia etc... so I see collecting Cranes I've operated as a similar hobby.

I decided that as I operate different cranes I'm going to collect a model version of them, as I'm the only one in my family in construction, and it would be cool to show them what kind of stuff I do for a job as we can't take photos on site either.

Here's a couple pics, excuse the messy background:



Very accurate replica, counterweights removable, boom fully extendable, can reeve the block, outriggers fully usable, steering works, fly jib also comes with it and is usable.

I'm looking to collect a 20T Franna, unfortunately they don't make a 25T Franna replica. Would be cool to find an old Wobbly too!

Post up your replica collections of whatever cars/trucks/bikes etc...
