This looks a lot like the digger I used to have. Good strong and tough. Didn't know that Hasbro owned Tonka now, sign of the times I guess.

Give Kratos my best when you speak to him next Jim, tell him that there's always a seat in the Lolwaffles if ever he wants to return, Schroeder has been keeping it warm for him. :03:

Rgr that...will do http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

I have a P-40 1/72 scale Pearl Harbor model I picked up somewhere because...well...it was a P-40 and it looks to be made by Unimax. I have this one.

There are others to be had. I just might start collecting a few more of these. :hmmm:

Pitot Tube for measuring air speed. :03:

A lot of modellers purchase 'clean' syringes and blunt the edge prior to affixing.

Oh, so nothing important then. :haha:

I've got some sowing needles about somewhere, I might take the wire cutters to them and blunt them, see what I can do. Failing that it is a F-100 after clipping another F-100 in flight. :hmmm:

Had an offer for this Tonka accepted on evilBay whilst at work:

AA33609 Panavia Tornado GR.4 No. 12 Sqn., RAF (Special 90th Anniversary Scheme) Lossiemouth, Moray, Scotland, 2005

Notice how this one has the pitot tube attached :O:

Beautiful collection there jimbuna. :up:

I was planning to collect Unimax diecast tanks but the local hobby store dropped the line. So, I'm stuck with a solitary T-34 with no one to shoot at.

Cheers Torplexed....nice Russki, what is the scale?

I agree with what Chris was saying earlier about putting your collection on view rather than keeping them in the box but I must admit, I do keep the boxes and packaging because when I'm old it would be my intention to sell them on but I wouldn't consider them an actual 'investment' at the present time.

I'd be glad if I recovered what I'd payed...would always pay for a holiday or two away.

1:32. Oh well, there's the internet to buy from, sight unseen. :D

That's a good size scale...I used to make plastic 1/35 (Tamiya mostly) kits 25/30 years back.

I use eBay.co.uk a lot and tend to go for the 'new' examples but will go for those harder to find ones if they are 'used' but written and photographed as in 'mint' condition.

Being a collector of Brit post WWII only I reckon I'm within 20 or so of completing my collection (certainly Corgi wise) unless new examples are released.

jim, why isn't you pm box working? just say this in your sig

ok, back to topic

There seems to be a complex situation, :88)

I wish I knew...but there are at least one here who think it a personal attack I suspect....I'm awaiting Neal sorting it out.

This thread got me interested in the hobby. I am thinking of starting a collection. I found this site.

Postage Stamp series Planes,Tanks,Ships ect...

What, I have NEVER claimed that I would think that it is directed at me, if that's what you are referring to, no way!

Nice site,with lots of candy :DL

Out of the three tanks I love the Centurion most. Definitely stands out from the rest. I missed the T-72. I'm still hoping I could get my hands on the Minichamps T-72. The store which I bought them from no longer imports Minichamps tank anymore. I think it may have gone bust now even.

There also a number of dragon armor models but they are so dusty on the cabinet that I'm ashamed to post them.

Edit: But here they are:
