MY
PERSONAL SCALE MODEL COLLECTION

Many
years back an attempt to just collect a few BMW motorbike scale
models for my living room gradually turned into a serious (&
money spending!) hobby of scale model collection. I now have
most of the famous brands of motorcycles in my collection with
the absence of a few marques, all in 1:18 scale. And the collection
is still growing……
As for my other collection, that's BUSES. From my childhood
days as a kid deprived of basic toys, I had great affinity for
buses. Every possible Colgate, Close-up or Binaca toothpaste
cover box at home would be turned into a coach bus with me pasting
doors, windows, windshields etc from paper and playing with
it. Its only recently I have been able to find some really nice
scale model buses. Mostly 1:64 scale. Storage space for a display
with theme is a serious concern and I am working towards it.
Lastly, being in the contracting business, I collected a few
models of construction/heavy equipment and that is prominently
displayed in my office. I think when I have more space & money
to spare, I will start collecting them in a larger way.
Scale model trains is a distant-distant dream, but will try
it probably when I have a huge house, tons of money and lots
of time post-retirement! Damn, I am being too optimistic.
Anyway for now, my Scale Model collections: |
