I've collected mostly 1/24 scale diecast sportscars most of which are/were $5.99 at K-B toys, the better examples made by Burago of Italy. My buddy made me an excellant 48"x48"x15" display case out of oak, mirrors and glass modeled after the cases found in the gun section of sporting goods stores. He sold it at near his material cost of $400. I think he paid too much for the glass but still a good deal for me. Now the case cost more than the cars. I'd like to find a low $, 1/24 XKE but no such luck yet. Walmart sells cast revell kits that are burago but they cost more than K-B. I think they'll all go cheap at an estate garage sale someday so I hate to invest much. Great fun in spite of the low buck approach tho.
