There are a few model collectors on here. Here's mine. The last pic is a 1/8th scale Pocher 993 next to a 1/18th 356.

Love the Pocher model. I see them on eBay/CL every once in a while, but they're kinda spendy for something that sits on a shelf!

The Pocher model is pricey but it is also an impressive bit of model especially if you have a 1:1 993 too

Not initially but I did completely strip it and rebuild it. Very simple to put together. My mate did his in one night.

I'd like to get a model of my 993 if Tamiya had one.

I've always built my models. One that I have of the Honda CB750 Daytona racer has a chain (plastic rollers and pins and metal side plates) I had to put together.

Falcondrivr

you are right - he's dreaming with the price, but the high price is usually a selling strategy to get his stuff at the head of the list when sorted under "highest first". It usually comes with a "best offer" possibility.

FYI - i just sold a Naked Lady 993 1/18 GT2 on Ebay for $475 and a Pocher 993 model for about the same price - to France.

Mike, very cool way to display your cars. Did you have the case custom made?
