  1. How can anyone enjoy Frankin and Danbury Mint cars in boxes??? I keep mine on display in a 6' tall curio cabinet with lights and mirrored backwall. The original boxes are stored in the garage in case I need to ever move, sell, or trade them.

    Agreed. They are meant to be looked at and they are indeed quite wonderful to look at!

  2. 40 Danbury and Franklin Mint models is a good sized collection, especially for only being in it for about a year.

    Collection/addiction, who's keeping score? Actually I don't even want to think about the money I've spent. They are "collectibles" because the Mints marketed them that way. Some of my models go for less than original retail but some of the "Limited Edition" ones go for much more money. I know some collectors like to keep them in the boxes and never touch them. That's not me. I like to keep them out where I can see them. They get the dust blown off when they get called up for a photo shoot!

  3. I'm not much of a model builder but I do like to collect and photograph them. I'm definitely inspired by the awesome work of Michael Paul Smith. I have huge respect for those of you who can build these things and make them look real. I like to photograph them and make them look real. Please check out my work. Comments, criticism and just plain heckling are most welcome: Studebaker Dictator 4 by Kenneth Hendricks, on Flickr
