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.
Snap a photo - know what it is and what it's worth
Not sure what you're holding? Point your camera at any diecast and our AI reads the casting, fills in the details and estimates its market value - so adding cars takes seconds, not detective work.
Identify from a photo
The AI recognises the brand, casting, year, series and colour from a single photo of your model.
Estimate its value
Get an estimated market value as a low–high range, drawn from live collector and marketplace data.
Auto-fill with AI
Pick the right match from the candidates, and the details drop straight into the add-car form. You review and tweak anything before you save - nothing is posted automatically.
Catalog every model with fields built for diecast
Post your cars with the details that actually matter to collectors: manufacturer, series, serial number, scale, casting material, colour, condition (Mint, MIB, MOMC and more), year, make, model and value - with photos. AI can do the typing for you, manual entry is always there, and every field stays editable. A duplicate check flags it when a new car looks like one you already own.
See what your collection is worth, at a glance
Your free dashboard tracks total cars, portfolio value, average and median value per car, your most valuable models, brand mix, top brands and how your value has moved over time. It updates itself every time you add a car - no spreadsheet formulas to maintain - and you can export the whole collection to Excel whenever you want.
Go deeper with collection analytics
Subscribers unlock the full picture: portfolio value over time, value by brand, your top marques, and how your collection breaks down by era, scale and condition. See your top gainers and biggest drops, plus AI-written insights that read your collection and point out trends and hidden strengths.
Follow the hobby with market trends and a daily AI brief
Free for every collector: what's moving right now, the most collected castings, era and scale demand, value leaders by brand - and a daily AI market brief that calls out the top signal of the day, alongside news from around the hobby.
Share your collection as a public web page - no app required
Switch on public sharing and every car, and your whole collection, gets a link anyone can open in a browser. Drop it straight into a Facebook group, a forum post or a marketplace listing. Mark cars For Sale so other collectors can find them, then arrange the sale directly between yourselves.
Search collectors' cars worldwide with diecast filters
Looking for one specific casting? Filter by brand, manufacturer year, series, scale, colour, condition and country instead of scrolling endlessly through irrelevant content. The same filters work on your own garage, and you can sort by date, manufacturer, scale, make, model or value.
Follow collectors, talk shop and show off new finds
Follow friends and enthusiasts worldwide, browse their collections, and like and comment on their cars. Message collectors directly or start a discussion thread - a question, an event, an announcement, or just a pickup you're proud of. Live notifications keep you up to date on follows, comments, likes and messages.
Albums, wishlists and display shelves
Group models any way you like without affecting your collection statistics - a wishlist, your favourites, a display-stand line-up or diecast memorabilia. Keep an album private, or make it public for other collectors to browse.

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.
Can the app identify a model car from a photo?
Yes - Model Car Collector has a built-in AI scanner. Snap or upload a photo of a diecast and it identifies the brand, casting, year, series and colour, estimates a market value, and fills in the details for you to review before saving. It works in the app on web and Android, and every collector gets a couple of free scans to try it.
