Any CPians who collect 1:43 scale Dinky and Corgi models?

No. Why buy toy cars when you can have a real one? 
Speaking of Dinky, this ugly thing[^] keeps popping up when I recently was looking for good pictures of the original studio models.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

No, but I understand the Queen used to collect Dinky Corgis.

I used to collect diecast cars. I have about 500 (most are 1/64, but have soem 1/43, 1/32, 1/24, and 1/18. Most are NASCAR, but I also have some 50's-60's Le Mans cars, a couple of 60's Grand Prix cars, and a handful of Trans Am cars.
All of them are displayed in a re-purposed entertainment center that my dad and I added lights, glass shelves, and sliding glass doors to.

Could you please post a picture of that collection?

CP doesn't support pictures

Oh, yes. Is it possible to upload the photo to Google photos or imgur or such, and provide a link?

Not from work - it's blocked.

I actually forgot - CP does offer a "My Uploads" section that you could put a few pictures on? My Uploads[^]
|
|
|
|
|
But you can't get to my uploads.

I can, if you provide a link.
Here's a photo[^] from my uploads, showing what I collect. I use them though, and pretty much none will be in a sealed condition, except for may be a few backup bottles.
Some day, I'll make a few nice cabinets to put them in.

I only have boxes for the 1/24-higher ones. The boxes for the rest are long gone.
I used to have pics of the cabinet online, but that version of my web site is long gone. I'll see if I can find the pics and put 'em in a ZIP file.

Awesome collection of beautifully laid out cars. I'm pretty sure you're proud collector of these toys.

I forgot to mention that I have some 1/144 as well (all NASCAR, and includes car haulers).

Have you heard about the latest Barbie?
"Divorced Barbie" - she comes with all Ken's stuff!

Not me, but my brother (died a few years ago) had a great collection, many still in their original boxes. I think his grandson inherited them.

If smoking is so bad for you, how come it cures salmon?

It indeed does a wonderful job - after the salmon is dead.
