For quite some time I have been wanting to have a picture of the whole fleet. TCer Pizzachaude encouraged me to do so. You see they still fit one single bed, haha. Not in the picture is the tractor project, which is dismantled in a box waiting for me to resume the work, a Lunchbox project, and a beat-up Sand Scorcher body that I will use with the yellow Rough Rider you can see there. All of these cars (except for the Riders) are complete and in running conditions. If you don't see the drivers there they are sitting in the box. Also the Bruiser body will be painted & properly finished anytime soon. I think I have to make another picture with boxes and radios.
I have to thank many Tcers for the help throughout the years. For sure it's been one amazing experience. I was having a look at the pictures myself not believing it was true, for back in the day this was pretty much near impossible. So, thank you guys for your help and your company in this beautiful hobby!
It's Friday -bowling night for me, and next Sunday I'll take the Lunchbox out for a spin, yay!
You all have a great weekend!! :)

Thanks ModMax and R/CVET. @berman: In a few days the Bruiser will be finished so there will be a specific TC entry for that one.

Great collection Erich!!! and a few of my very favourite cars in that bunch!

I have had a big cull on my collection recently! I only have left some of my most favourite cars and few solid fun runners!! We will be moving house soon and to be honest I had too many cars and it starts to look like I needed a Doctor!!!

But I am just as passionate about the hobby and will keep the cars I have left in my collection for sure! Love these!! I will say my collection is small now but that brings order to the collection and it looks a lot neater!!

Good luck bowling!! knock um out mate!!

Cheers pal.

Awesome collection Erich! Are you going box-art with the Bruiser ?

@ScaleXtreme: No. I wish I could do the boxart, but I have NEVER seen a Bruiser with the side stickers properly stuck on the body. It's a thing I know I would not tolerate, so I sold the stickers, and will have to go other way. Plus, I knew it was going to be even worse than with the original decals because the vinyl of the re-re ones is thicker, therefore less prone to stay on the Toyota body the way they should. It's really a shame. For such complex body I believe Tamiya should have tried waterslide type of decals, like the ones from the static models, cause the originals and re-res are not able to stay stuck over the shapes of that body! HATE IT SO MUCH!!!
