I must be sick!! :eyecrazy: I am addicted to Viper collectables and and Ebay. I have spent way too much money online buying Viper anything and everything. I am having trouble finding places to put stuff now and having trouble finging things that I don't already have. But I am still looking for more.... WHATS WRONG WITH ME??? :dunno:
Any ideas on where to look other than Ebay? anybody have anything they want to unload?

Flee markets! Wait till you go to Paris for the Retromobile or Padua or Detroit or ...
just to visit a flee market and find "your treasures".

I started my Viper collection many, many years ago. Now that I've acquired a "one-one" scale "model," I've turned back to the little things, like Viper keychains, Viper stickers (I want the "got Viper?" decal for my Stratus) and so on and so forth.

Just make sure you save some stuff for the rest of us. :)

Believe me there is no CURE.It started for me back in 2002 when I bought my first viper.I made my first viper related item and haven't stopped since.Here is a pic of the first thing made.It's approx 4'x4' 3/8 aluminum logo.It was water jet cut and powder coated same color as my viper.I also offset the pieces a bit to give it depth.

Then I decided to make a fangs logo the following year.Here is the end result. The same dimensions as the first logo but a different color scheme.

Since I was happy with the results I decided on a smaller version.Here is a sample.

I made these in 2 colors.Blue and white and red and white.These are about half the size of the large logo, so about 2'x2'.
okay then I moved to smaller items.Like coasters,pen holders,small plaques,clocks,small water jet cut logos,card holders,magnets,toothpick holders.Also did the Illinois Christmas party center pieces.

This is a sampling of what I made.Plenty more,but just giving you an idea of what an affliction,obsession what ever you want to call it, can do to a man!:)
And last is a matching blue and silver logo for my first 2008 viper.About 4'x4'.

I am just fortunate enough to have the means to make all of these items.And they are not for sale,so please don't ask.
Currently working on the best viper item I have made to date.Will show that in February some time.Stay Tuned!!

Just for you Stretch....

Keep in mind that I have a very small house and this is the only room I am allowed to keep my Viper stuff in. Its not well displayed and I can't even fit it all in the room.

I alos have a ton of posters, banners, flags, VOI banners and signs and various other Viper things that I just don't have room for yet but I am still collecting as much as I can afford. Sorry for the bad pictures.

Now anyone want to add anything to my collection:D

:clap2: That is one impressive collection Robert.

I feel your pain though. I have a small house now too and all of my tropical stuff is confined to only one room.

Good luck finding more stuff you don't already have!

Nice collections. I've been selling off my diecast collection for the past two years. We moved and everything has been in boxes for years so decided to start selling. I have some Viper stuff left if anyone is interested. Since I have the real thing now I don't need some of these sitting around.

This Viper was scroll sawn from a piece of 1/4" plywood by a friend of mine during my heart surgery. I thought you would enjoy viewing it.
