Speedster models and Tschotskes

I'm curious as to weather anyone else has an alter honoring speedster interests.

Sweet! I know John Hallstrand has a house full of 'em.

I have a few but nothing like that!

Now if you count all the other makes... Then I may be over the top. But only a few Speedys.

Sludgester....you are a sick man...

MICHAEL POST A BETTER PIC OF THE BLUE COUPE BOX U HAVE ON THAT 1ST PIC
OR IS IT A SPEEDSTER WITH ITS TOP UP

I know Master Chief Drake has more than a few; perhaps he'll intercept this thread and show us all just what. Me personally, I have but one, a '61 B Coupe 'cause I had a real one many, many years ago. I'll say that I do keep an eye out for Speedsters, but they are scarcer then hens' teeth, by my rekoning.

Michael,

I have a display case in my garage filled with Porsche 356's, and Spyders and a few other Porsche models (911's, 904's) I would estimate well over a hundred.

Speedster with the top up...

AWESOME MICHAEL
VINCE U NOTICE HE IS NOT POSTING SMUT

Pictures Chuck !

Give 'm hell Mike!

BTW, River Cats season ain't too far away!

I've got a small odd collection of nice scale models. One speedster, one black spyder, a Dick Landy Dodge Dart, and Sartwell's (ask Cory about this dude) Camaro "Sea Terror." Oh, and several 1/43 Penn Joy commercial trucks.

Seriously odd collection. 'Specially for a chick but I think hanging out with you guys skews my judgement. Definately hanging out with Vince skews my judgement - LOL!

This Schuco Piccolo is my fav and likely the rarest of all.

Angela, I'd hang it out with you anytime...

Tschotskes, eh? I'd always wondered how that word was spelled. I'd have lost money on a bet. Nice collection you've got there, Sludge!

I have a few of those 1:18 scale models, like Kelly said. Maybe ten of them, plus a couple model kits I tinkered with when I was considering paint schemes and design elements for the current iteration of the car -- but nothing fancy.
I did buy a few of those Kyosho models. Those are VERY nicely done, and I wish I had kept one of them. One was a silver one I gave to my Dad for his den, and the other two were red.
The guy I bought my car from got one of the red ones, and my builder got the other.
My plan is to put some Ikea shelves in the new garage, and put them out there, next to a few choice photos.
My son loves them, and most are damaged from his younger years. He enjoyed playing with them, but was a little rough on the paint -- like we used to beat up Matchbox cars.

I have/had a few dozen die cast 1/18 and 1/24 car collection, most have been given away to kids I know, but there is some I just can't seem to part with, sure wish I had them in my youth, but alas, all we had were little plastic POS to play with...I used to put together model cars, eventually lit them on fire and watched them burn..
I have a mini collection of 1/24 scale NHRA die cast which are autographed by various drivers..Force (castrol)Etchels (lucas oil)Hoffman (moon eyes)etc...I have other autographed stuff also, like card collections,Baseballs, bats...

what are Tschotskes?

I have 4 of um (3 are 1/8 scale a yellow 001 ,a red D ,and a green B. the other is a match box mini Now i do have other die cast cars.

But i am still looking for In 1/8 scale a white 36 Auburn a forst green 54 ford truck. a lt blue 57 T-bird. a early black and red bugguti. a early Alpha romero. and 2 more special editon Duzzies that I'd have to identfy on the spot.

I just need to put up some glass incloseure in the speedster bay aand spruce the place up.. The others are all stored in a trunk waiting on me to find time to do this..

I used to have a collection of die-cast 356's in my office when I worked. A bunch of both 356A and 356B, all black (back when Pearl was in black gel coat before her true self came out).

Alas, all of them seem to have migrated to Chris' house.

Now, all I have is a yet-to-be-completed red "A" in my garage...

I have a small collection of Speedsters and 356 Porsches.

Aloha, Kawika

what are Tschotskes

A Russian dumpling!

I like the Janis speedy ~

Jim-Can one get kicked in the Tschotskes?

OUTCH!

OK-now that the spelling has been corrected, I ask again ..." Jim-Can one get kicked in the Tchotkes?"

Scott - probably! Especially if one attempts to T-bag a babushka with said Tschotskes!!

I to have a small collection. But I started with the bigboy toys...

I have one Speedster and a couple Spyder models, not a real collection. I do have some artwork framed on the wall, some of it from our own Cory. And a couple mugs from 2009, all spread about the living/tv room.

These are the pictures of my collection of some of the Porsche models that I have collected over the years. There are some others of cars that I would like to own...Fiat-Abarths etc.

Double WOW Charles, thats what I call a collection.

Got one of these?

"Sludge"

No, not Aquamarine

That actually borders on "Sick"....

My 1:1 Scale Toys

NICE!!

Charles, Cool Diecast collection!!!

Aloha, Kawika55

I seem to have run into a wall on 2 of the dicast models Im looking for a the White Auburn convertable. and a 1956 Belverdere 2 door hard top.(Not a convertable,i have that) Want white with the black trim. but can re paint.

Both in 1/18 scale If any of ya see eather for under a $1OO.OO Contact me first.To confirm i still haven't found it.

Then please get it and will buy it from you and include a $40 dollars finders fee.

It's been 8 months of web searching and nothin. I missed 3 on Ebay by 50 bucks or by a day to late to bid.

Just ordered from Schuco Germany Bruce Jennings'(King Carrera) 1959 Carrera Speedster in 1/18th scale, his famous number 77. Expensive, but he was my hero when I was a teenager. He and Don Yenko waged some classic battles at the old airport tracks, Connelsville, Cumberland,
Marlboro,etc. etc. The SCCA had the Carrera's in with the 283 cu. in.
Corvettes. I'll post some pictures when I receive it.Bruce was from Towson,Md.

i still remember my first ,,red distler porsche,,i bought for myself in austria in about 1956,i would dream at night how to turn curves,back up and park,very helpful for later to get the driverspermit,never could find one again,at the time the cost was 100 schilling,about 4 american dollars, herbert hofer.
