Hello All,
First I like to thank my Wife Irene for allowing me to even use the whole house, if not a lot of it would have been stuck in boxes, although she did refuse to allow any car banners on our living room drapes.
I also want to thank @Goose17 Tim, @AZ21GT500 Chris, @Taco_Enum Steve and a few others for High resolution photos I used most of what everyone sent, I also like to thank @TedShred Ted, for doing the Laser engraving of of two plates he did, one of which was used for the Tribute piece to the Mistress, The other will be used in the future, Ted did a great job and gave me a great price. Thank you.
I want to also thank Barb, who gave me ideas and without actually saying it, reminded me to do this thread
Tim If you have some of those hot brake pictures in high resolution would love to print a few, please? 🙏
I got many photos from people on this forum, and many other avenues, My diecast collection started about 6 years ago I have over 220 pieces last time we counted them ranging in size 1/64th scale up to 1/18th scale.
I had several 2020+ GT500's repainted as I am trying to get every color Ford used on these Incredible Shelby's, I have 4 out now getting repainted or restriped as I type this.
I have on my Tribute shelve two Mistress diecasts that are exact replicas of my Real Shelby GT500, I mean exact, even the Carbon Fiber interior pieces were done, Kong CAI, side stripes and Carbon fiber wing and Shelby seat belt pads. Those two diecast came from a guy in the USA that does this kind of work, Copying your real car
If anyone is interested he can do your cars also, it takes a few months but the quality is outstanding. Although a little pricey depending how much detail you want.

Also on that shelf is the Display from the owners kit, as most on here know, I wasn't eligible for a owners kit as I bought the Car here, and only the USA/CANADA Markets were eligible, so I bought a kit, ( Two kits off Ebay) and Ted again help me out with making me a few plates with my chassis number on it M2270, Again Thank you Ted.
The other owner's kit display is below my TV cabinet with 1/24 scale diecasts on both sides of it.
Victor and I also made two diecast copies of the Mistress they are not as perfect as the ones done by the guy in the USA by any means, but not bad either. Victor's renderings were good and considering it was his first attempt at painting a diecast cars it was pretty decent. His painting of the recent diecasts has gotten much better.
The diecast downstairs are mostly Shelby GT500's and Vintage Ford Mustangs, GT40's and Ford GT's I have some Supercars like Lamborghini's, Ferrari's and Mercedes AMG GT Black series, I also have a MOPAR Shelf, with mostly GTX's and a few Road Runners. I have a separate Porsche shelf in my stair case, In the Kitchen the theme of American Graffiti is displayed including Bob Falfas 55 Black Chevy and John Milner's 32 Ford Coupe and 1/64th scale diecasts from the era.
Chris your one picture you sent is on one of my shelf near the GT500's downstairs
I started this house project October/November 2022, printing and framing up everything. I had to add several new shelfs and repainting the walls, having to redo things, (Frames mostly) several times, we finally finished it the end of May, But I was waiting on a few diecast to get done and taking pictures of the house a few times as the lighting isn't great during the day and the lights are glaring off the glass frames, So sorry about these lightning issues. This display looks much better in person. I also got distracted with other things and forgot to make this thread, Finishing the Mistresses New Wang and doing that thread kick started this one.
I have very little room to add anything else big or small, if I get better pictures I'll swap out stuff that is already in frames, I'll add diecasts here and there, The wife's study room is my overflow room, there are a few things in there, I have also giving a lot stuff away to kids, Especially unused book pictures extra photos and 1/64th scale diecasts hot wheels mostly and much more.
Finishing the 2020+ Shelby Color collection will take time, certain colors maybe hard to do, Code Orange, looking at you Mario I am curious how your repaint comes out, Mischievous Purple I am having trouble finding the exact match of paint. Although I did paint one diecast purple its close, but not exact. Antimatter Blue and performance blue could be difficult either because there isn't much difference with other colors or finding true color matches. I am sure some of you can help me out, example how much of difference is Kona Blue/Antimatter blue? Anyone have a good clear picture of Performance Blue? I have Eruption Green and Kona Blue being painted now, weather has been an issue for those repaints, Restriping one Twister Orange with White stripes and restriping one Velocity Blue with Black Stripes is the next four in the works. After that a Heritage Edition will be done. Only one as I heard that is the rarest Color, Should it be White or Black Stripes? I'll most likely go with White.
Tim If you have some of those hot brake pictures in high resolution would love to print a few please? 🙏
I like to get a better Shelby Clock as I am disappointed how cheap this one looks in person. Any ideas???
Anyway this is my car diecast and picture/poster collection I do have several duplicate posters as I wanted a few extras as I get different posters or pictures I'll swap them out, I will hopefully one day get a bigger house in the U.S and have it all in one room, although most of this will be shipped to the Wife's parents house in Occidental Mindoro where I built them a very big house.
Sorry for the long message and all the images involved I hope you all will like it🙏
Barb gave me a Idea, this will be two parts, this being part one the Living/dinning room and Kitchen and hallways, Tomorrow will be Staircase and the two Bedrooms I really used to fit everything, Technically the 3rd Bedroom is my Wife's study room, but has only few pieces in it, only one diecast is in there a 1966 Jaguar that a friend of ours gave us 5 years ago, But it doesn't go with anything so for now its in there I also have just a few framed up pictures that I could not fit anywhere.
