The home for diecast collectors
Catalog, manage and share your model car collection. Track value over time, discover new finds and connect with collectors worldwide.
Catalog and share your diecast models
Upload posts and catalog your cars with fields specific to die-cast model cars. Add manufacturer, year, series number, scale, colour, make, model, value and more. You can also indicate a sale price if you want to sell it.
Manage and track your entire collection
Keep track of all your models easily within the app. View the number of cars and the total value, sort your collection and quickly search for a specific model.
Follow other collectors and compete against the top accounts
Join the diecast community, view the collections of other collectors, connect with your friends, compete against the top accounts and see the most popular models uploaded.
Search models using diecast-specific filters
Looking for a specific model? Use the search feature to find a car by entering diecast-specific details like make, model year, colour, scale and more. No need to scroll endlessly through irrelevant content. Cars for sale can also be searched for. Browse and search worldwide for any collector's car.
Browse diecast models by manufacturer
Looking for specific diecast or curious about which manufacturer is the most popular? Browse our uploaded posts by manufacturer and search for specific models easily.
Wishlists, favourites and custom albums
Create customised groups of relevant diecast items that do not affect your collection statistics. Use the albums feature to create wishlists, favourites, showcase your display shelves at home and store diecast memorabilia.
Connect with other collectors through direct messages and threads
Start a conversation with a fellow collector in the app. Use threads to discuss a diecast topic or to showcase a new find that anyone can comment on. You get live notifications on messages, follows, comments and post likes.
Track your total collection value
Don't know how much your collection is worth? Tired of using Excel sheets? Track your collection's total value and number of cars through interactive graphs. Add date and manufacturer filters to see how many "Hot Wheels" you've collected in the last year.

Frequently asked questions
Is Model Car Collector free?
Yes — the app is free to use and your collection is unlimited, so you can catalog as many models as you like with no cap and no credit card needed. Cataloging your collection, searching, and the collector community are all included free. An optional subscription is there if you want premium extras like an ad-free experience, sharper and more images per post, and collection analytics — and it helps support continued development.
Which platforms can I use it on?
Model Car Collector runs on Android and in any web browser today, and everything lives in one account that stays in sync — catalog a new find on your phone at a swap meet, then pick up where you left off on your desktop at home. An iOS app is currently in development, so an iPhone version is on the way.
What details can I record for each model?
Far more than a generic inventory app. Every entry captures the details that actually matter to diecast collectors — manufacturer, year, series number, scale, colour, make, model and value — along with photos and an optional sale price if you want to move a piece. Because the fields are purpose-built for diecast, you can search and filter your collection the way collectors really think, instead of forcing your hobby into a spreadsheet.
Can I track what my collection is worth?
Yes, and it's where the app replaces the dreaded spreadsheet. Model Car Collector tracks your collection's total value and car count over time in interactive graphs, with date and manufacturer filters — so you can see at a glance how many Hot Wheels you added last year or how the overall value has grown. There are no formulas to maintain; it updates automatically every time you add a car.
Can I connect with other collectors?
Absolutely — this is a community, not just a private list. Follow other collectors, explore their collections, message them directly, and start or join discussion threads to show off a new find or get a second opinion. Live notifications keep you up to date on follows, comments and likes, and you can browse the most popular models being uploaded and even compete against the top accounts worldwide.
How is it different from a spreadsheet or a generic collecting app?
Spreadsheets don't understand diecast, and generic collectibles apps treat a 1:64 Hot Wheels like any other knick-knack. Model Car Collector is built specifically for model car collectors: diecast-specific fields and filters, automatic value tracking with graphs, photo-rich posts, custom albums and wishlists, and a worldwide community to discover, follow and learn from — all in one app that syncs across your phone and the web.
