Mercedes Benz 1:18

The beginning of a collection

It all started in the mid 90's back in Med school when I went to a fellow students home for his birthday. We decided to give him a 1:18 model of a BMW 850. He also had a brother with a nice Ferrari collection, and it's that collection that got me started into model collecting. Back at home my dad drove a white 124. I loved that car and that's when I learned to love the Mercedes-Benz automobile.

Model reviews

Some of the cars have been reviewed. Click on the link to the model to check if I have added a model review. If I have not added a review and you wish to read about the model, leave a message at my guestbook.

 

Most of the manufacturers are present in my collection, but you will not find (at this time) any Welly, Hot Works or Mattel/Hot wheels. 

 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my Mercedes model website. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to let me know .

Themes

First I started collecting only streetcars, but after a while (in 2003-2004), I began to run out of streetcars I was missing, so I began to collect Formula 1 cars. Since these came out once every year, I also began collecting other motorsport categories such as DTM (CLK, C Class) and GT (GTR's).  I had to have trucks too. Even though they take a lot of space, given their quality, they had to be part of my collection.
