you need what??????

Everyone here is easily coerced in posting pictures of their collectiion, we'll do it again at the drop of a hat, too. But that's a lot of members and alot of pictures; are you sure you wanna do that again?? And how do we know you will be properly motivated?- you might lose your motivation anyway. If you do lose your motivation, pm me with cheap prices on all your stuff- OOPS, I mean don't worry, you'll be just fine..

I gotta go put gas in my wife's car- I might do some postin in a lil'bit.

haha my motivation isnt too lost, i remember collecting some S1 items when i 1st saw them hit the shelves at TRU, a few deployments and no time for hobbies in between has really put them out of my mind, id just love too see outdoor photo shoots or things of the battle nature .... but if i do give in one day PM will be sent ha .... being stationed in hawaii doesnt help either, i cant find anything and am not sure where to look, online or stores

Here is a group of pictures from well over a year ago when I put my 1/18 planes together for a group shot.

Kris:

Your collection is awesome. It proves:

1 - You have no little kids.

2 - You have no dogs or worse for collections, cats.

3 - There are collectors who will buy every paint version of every plane :!: :roll:

Wow, or more appropriate... double WOW..

This all started because of my son. Christmas 2000 was the time he was used as the excuse to buy the Lou P-51 to hang in his bedroom. It all started there and now he has no real interest to have them in his room anymore and that means that I have to take care of them all :roll: :wink:

As for all of the paint schemes... what can I say... sometimes collecting is an addiction and it takes control.

I am working to come up with an effective and efficient way to display without taking up too much space. There have been many great ideas here that I am trying to incorporate into a grand system for the limited space I have.

Thanks for the kind words

does this photobucket slideshow work?
