Well, I have been collecting for over 20 years and it all started with an Ertl 1/64th Scale Cat 950E Loader. I had seen it at the store and my parents made a deal with me that if I got good grades in school I could get it. Well, I did I had no ideal what that was the beginning of but here are some pictures of my collection today. I hope you enjoy ~Ryan~

Ah, I see someone else shops at IKEA, too! Good idea to leave the side glass panel off for more room.

Nice collection

Dan85- Nice catch on the cabinets. They had them on sale for half price so I couldn't refuse. Then as you could tell I left the middle out and then used those glass pieces for my other shelves and it all turned out pretty well and rather inexpensive.

V8dieselPower- Also a nice catch on the tire table. It was a cracked rim and then a used 425 tire that we had so I thought that it would look pretty cool. I just bought the piece of glass for the top and it turned out really nice.

Thanks for looking guys. -Ryan-

Here is a Norscot Peterbilt 330 Mechanics truck that I repainted last weekend. It was originally white with caterpillar decals. Thanks for looking -Ryan-
