I thought a few here might be interested in my declining space. I say declining, because more and more so these days, I enjoy building BIG 1/8 cars... To me, 1/12 is now rather small. I do still build the odd teenie, such as 1/24, 1/32 and even 1/43.
At present I've got goodness knows how many 1/8 scale beasties either finished, or on the go. That doesn't count the other 5-6 in my stash.
Another dozen or so 1/12 + about 10-12 stashed...
You can probably see why I'm running out of space in my 'cave'...
I've added a few extra pics of more recent stuff, and some detail pics too
...and the E Type pictures ARE the model...

that is something to admire roy - I exactly know what drama you're going through - it's just that my 200+ finished 1:43 scale astons are all locked away waiting for brighter days of display!!
you're cheating though with the dbs as that is 1:10 scale (or is it the 1:12 RC? auto shack car?)
Yes, the black Aston DBS is a 'cheat' - It's 1/10. It's an R/C car with a full interior that I completely dismantled and rebuilt with loads of detail, leather trim, carpets, fresh paint.
All the others I built myself over the past 4 years. Yes, running out of room to display them all. To be fair, the C Type and D Type Jaguar have been sold to a classic racing driver in London who I can't name. The green Aston DBR1 on top of the Rolls Royce indoors - just finished - is also on its way to him next week. That still leaves a LOT so find space for...
Nice collection of cars!! they do look very good. Not often I see someone with an outdoor railway set up? I have a pond just wondering if I should have a couple of my period ships on display on it??? Have a "K" for the very nice cars... All the best, Steve..
Just getting used to surfing partworks Roy. Came across your posted collection. Absolutely stunning. Really great model making, you must be very proud of building such a collection.
