When I was a lad, I had (yes, "had") a large collection too. Mostly Hasegawa and Airfix, and possibly a few Fujima.<br /><br />Most American boys have their mother throw out their baseball cards after they leave home. I believe mine threw out my 1/72 models (and baseball cards too)! I remember buying the Hasegawa models for $1 each at a drug store.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-55857899103939190832014-04-08T20:03:39.826+01:002014-04-08T20:03:39.826+01:00A great parade!A great parade!tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-56850856545180825212014-04-08T16:57:12.588+01:002014-04-08T16:57:12.588+01:00I think there is a directly proportional relations...I think there is a directly proportional relationship between a past history of Crossfire and a 1:71 WWII collection. The guy I know with the largest of the latter also has the strongest association to the former. Probably some relationship to hemlines and the stock market in there as well ;)<br /><br />FMBfireymonkeyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833974263127787678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-16919000430232964372014-04-08T15:54:23.714+01:002014-04-08T15:54:23.714+01:00Abruptly!

There is something about certain AFV types that tends to attract more of the same. I think they reproduce, like far too many of the catty-type species, and that within enclosed boxes a whole bunch of hanky-panky is going on. ..<br /><br />At any rate I enjoy perving over other people's collections. It's a weakness of mine...<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Ion.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-75694455719498724492014-04-08T14:44:34.566+01:002014-04-08T14:44:34.566+01:00Conrad Kinch,

You have enough tanks to field a huge Megablitz army - should you ever wish to - and plenty of kit for fighting Memoir '44 battles in 20mm-scale.<br /><br />I hope to see more of it on your tabletop in the near future.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
