Martini Racing Porsche

I do not know what got me into collecting this theme, but maybe because of the combination of the colors and the variety of available Martini Porsche models. Let me remind you that I am not much of a beverage drinker.hikhikhik! Here goes...

Ebbro Porsche Martini 1:43



Brumm Porsche 1:43


Ebbro Porsche 911 RSR Turbo 1:43



Auto Art Porsche 917 1:18 (my one and only scale)


The baby of them all (literally) in 1:64 scale



with these, you see what I am still lacking? the Kyosho Porsche Martinis in 64's and more. Hoping somebody would help me find them...roll eyes....


Next on my list...Jagermeister Porsche Models in 43's. hikhikhik!

House of My Cars

My collection is probably complaining about how they are housed in my apartment. For quite some time, they were kept in boxes, cabinets and drawers. Not that I do not want to buy a cabinet, but I am really looking for a certain type that is not expensive, spacious and yet classy. I was able to buy one cabinet a few years back but decided to give it to my mom since the cabinet's varnish mixes up with the color of the stuffs displayed inside. Maybe due to humidity...Hmmmm...anyway, was excited the day it was delivered to my home. So here it is still bare...




This display cabinet has four layers with a small cabinet at the bottom, that small cabinet at the bottom would be very useful if you are living in a small apartment.
After a few days of deciding what and how to display my stuffs, well, here they are..



still looks a bit disorganized and has dull spaces, but as soon I am able to buy more cases, I would hopefully make it more look attractive. By the way, the bottom part would be reserved for Kyosho 64 ferraris.Thanks for reading.

My First 1:43 Porsche

My first 1:43 Porsche is Free! Yes, got it as a gift from a fellow collector. It is a Del Prado 356 Coupe, not mint though but it absolutely looks good on camera. This started my now growing 1:43 Porsche Collection. I must say 43's have the most number of models and very superb details. What makes me love this scale is the fact that it is not spacious to display and have a variety of Porsche models to choose from.
