OHHHH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice collection DAM
some dreams for me

ABSOLUTELY

Cheers Guys, Its been along time since I had a look through all the box's that hide my addiction I totted up using the pic's and I thought I had about 40. I can't believe its over 70. Holy cow, I hope the wife doesn't see this post

Say her that they are colleagues or friends gifts. ( I have over 160 models approximatively but most at my parents home)

If yer missus gives you jip about it, sell her...
THEN, you can have some peace & quiet to give your willy some much needed attention & show it off to us when you're done. Looks like a long one - shame, short ones are rarer & more desirable, as are the old ones over the young ones....
Hows that Jonny?

Is that an HBX Bonzer I spy amongst the Tamiyas? - marvellous toy the Bonzer, should never have sold mine

I wouldn't get much for her

I had an M38 (fix 'er upper) and sold it a few years ago and sort of regretted it. I saw this about a month ago. It was listed as rc buggy, buy it now for £35 or best offer. I was a abit cheeky and offered £25. Anyway they accepted. . It does need some bits but I'd like to get it going and have a play.
As for the HBX, I bought a pair of the rtr for me and my daughter Steph. I thought it they were a obscure Tamiya tl-01 buggy chassis. I didn't know they were HBX Bonzer's. Thanks for the info . The one in the pic is Stephs, I sold mine

Tell me about it ... have tried to limit the definition of my collection (I'm more of an accumulator TBH), but the definition is pretty elastic and currently stands at:

- Any model I had as a kid
- Any model I would have liked as a kid but couldn't have
- Any model my mates had when I was a kid
- Any model that's "a bargain"
- Re-release versions of any of the above
- Slightly different versions of any of the above
- Duplicates of any of the above
- Any model I've invested a significant about of money, time or effort in whether I like it or not
- Any model by other manufacturers that look a bit like a model Tamiya made.
- Any model I ever thought about scratchbuilding myself

I'd like it to have a much tighter focus & reduce numbers to more manageable levels, but it's a loosing battle ...

On the other hand if any of us have trouble with our wives, we just have to show her this post and she will realise that we are not so bad!

Anyway, welcome.

Wow,
