Fan Appreciation: Show us your #CCModel

Throughout the years we’ve found that our collector’s enjoy sharing pictures of their newest model additions, customizations and displays. Needless to say, we couldn’t be more happy about seeing and hearing your feedback.

To show our appreciation to our collectors and share what others in the community are doing with their models we’ve launched the #CCModel Fan Model Showcase.

Every month, we’ll choose two different fan photo submissions to publish on our Facebook page and other social media sites to be prominently displayed as a featured post.

Below is one of our recent submissions.


Here’s your chance to have your Classic Construction Model on display in front of hundreds of other collectors to admire.

Submitting your #CCModel picture is easy; you can send us your submissions via email, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook message or post using the #CCModel hashtag.

We look forward to seeing your Classic Construction Models.
