I have a collection of 1/43, 1/24, 1/18, and a few 1/12 diecast vehicle models numbering over 200. Most of the 1/24 are Danbury Mint, but there are some Franklin Mint ones too. I prefer the 1/24 size because of the detail that can be captured, and still not take up too much room like the 1/18. The 1/18 that are being offered now are, in my opinion, a great value. An amazing amount of detail for the price. I would have more of them, but for lack of display space. I have shelving (elfa) for the 1/24, 1/18, and 1/12.

To display the 1/43 I found some neat wire mesh CD storage shelves at The Container Store ($29.99 ea.). These mount to the wall easily. I can display about 12 models in/on each of these shelving units. The wire mesh gives a nice appearance too. They come in white and silver. Mine are silver.
