Do you own a model/diecast/whatever of a car you own or have owned? Show me!!
This is a 3D printed model of a Fiesta ST that sits on my desk at work.

I don’t have one YET, but I usually get one of the car I have, minus the Mazda3 because no one made a non-MPS/Mazdaspeed version of it (though I do have one)
I’ve been thinking of picking one of these up, and painting it to match (only chrome on mine is the wheels/emblems)

People always ask (ok they don’t) but people have asked if I’m going to paint my 3D print.
No, because 1) I can’t do art in any way shape or form and 2) the surface is really oddly textured since it is a 3D print.

Sadly, I do not have a ‘48 Chevy delivery, a Range Rover two-door, a mid-90s Ranger, a Hurst 442, or a Cessna Dragonfly (other things on top of the cabinet).
The unidentifiable object over the bed of the red Ranchero is the hand of a Monty Python King Arthur action figure.

5th gen Prelude and 2nd gen TSX. Upon googling, there are a couple models for the Prelude, but they’re from the era when body-kits and such were popular so that’s what they look like. As for the TSX, the closest thing i found was a Spirior, which is what the car was called in China.

Thanks! The AutoArt Trophy Truck is my favorite. The 1:18 Cougars are cool too. I need to figure out where I want to display them, the garage doesn’t seem like the right place.
I had the Minichamps 1:32 Focus ST model (and still have a couple of the Greenlight 1/64). I like having models of my 1:1s. I wish I could find a diecast Grand Cherokee version of my wife’s 2014.

Despite always being on the lookout, none of my cars have really been cool enough to warrant an affordable die cast model. But I did find a pretty close casting to my old Thunderbird and painted it to match the one I owned.
