#453023 Build that Wall! (Part two)

If you haven’t read Part one (just below) and you’re curious what all this about, give it a look.
As mentioned; this is the result of over 25 years of collecting. Over the years I've seen many great collections displayed on what is still the best 1/18 scale website anywhere.
Many of the names here I have known for years. Several of the cars in my collection have come from members and visitors to this site (not to mention a ton of cars when Kevin was selling) Scale18 has been a place where I met new friends, always got the latest news about the hobby and get to hang with other diecast nerds.
I likes me race cars and that’s what my collection is all about. Oh, and 1/12 scale bikes too. Here’s the display that took just over a year to complete. Nearly 800 cars and 120 motorcycles + a dozen half scale helmets.
Hope ya like it!
Here's a closer look at the Endurance races, sports cars, touring cars, rally and a few Nascar thrown in for good measure
The Open-Wheelers... the ones that started my collecting addiction.
Look 7 rows from the bottom and 2 from the right side for my very first racing diecast; The 1995 Villeneuve Indy winner
And finally the 1/12 scale motorcycles.:b> The top row are bikes I either currently own or have owned and a couple others that I have a special attachement to. Many Valentino Rossi bikes as he's always been my favorite modern era rider.
That's pretty much for "The Wall" (aka: Wayne's Wall) I plan on keeping as is unless something new really rocks my world. As it is, I do have 3 cars that have been sitting at the border for 19 months... a Castrol NSX, Can-Am Shadow and the 1966 Ford GT #2 LM winner but that one is an upgrade and the other ones that will replace the Chapparel rolling chassis and one of the more pedestrian touring cars I have up now.
Still to come; I'll share some of my motorsport art and let you know what I'm doing with the "leftovers".
Thanks all!
WW
PS: Thanks to a very supportive and understanding wife who not only encouraged my hobby but helped immensely with the cataloging and storage solutions.
