Nice Kaye, you have quite a few cars. Nice reflection of the blue sky in photo #2.

Thanks Emilio. There are 13 1/4 scales in the collection. I think the ideal number would be about 6, but I can never decide what to let go.

I realized when I had nearly 200. That you could never really just focus on a few great ones. I agree. 6 seems like a great number. Depends on the balance in your life though. At one time, all I could think was 1/4 scale!

I love polished aluminum and steel! Are you using different levels of steel wool? What theme for the paint job?

Emilio:
I'm cleaning everything with isopropanol and then polishing with Autosol metal polish (good stuff made in Germany).
For the paint job I fancy having a go with a 3M automotive wrap. I'm leaning towards a matt light blue, if I can find a small quantity at a reasonable price.
