Re: what else do you collect

Well I don't collect in that sense but need I say more than the fact that I'm a modeller...

Re: what else do you collect

OK, here's a real shocker for all of you...are you siting down? Can you guess what's coming? I collect games! (I heard that collective gasp!)

I also collected Babylon 5 memorabilia (figures, trading cards, photos, posters, autographs, art, comic books, models, you name it!).

I have a small military Challenge Coin collection (4 I was awarded for various reasons...and the only one I bought was purchased from a member of the Devil's Brigade of their 60th Reunion)

I have a small collection of model trains

I have a huge collection of art and military books

Only about 6 months. The trouble is the quality varies so much. For a real good modell you have to pay $$$. To be honest, I am finding I can build better myself in a lot of cases. Mind you, it is good fun to by a $10 diecast model and mess with it!!
