At the moment I am going through this thread, as well as all my build threads, one page at a time, to fix the broken links of all the pics, one post at a time, due to a technical incompatibility.
Feeling very, very nostalgic, as this thread is like a historical record of my hobby & collection, as well as of all personal interactions with members here spanning over a decade ! I started this thread on 10 December 2010, when the collection was at around 20% of what it is today.
I also just realised that I know exactly which replica I got when, & from who / where, all the mods made to replicas, when the models were built, as well as how the room itself evolved.
Came across, and thought I'd re-share, this post from November 2013, at a point when the collection was at around 75% of what it is today.
Hope all my friends here, as well as newer members, (re) enjoy

Our youngest wanted a Samsung Tablet recently, and me not being one to give free lunches just because, I made a deal with him.
I bought him the tablet, but made him ‘sell’ me his Samsung Galaxy S3 as part ‘payment’ towards the tablet, and the rest came out of his birthday & Xmas money.
So now I have a spanking S3 and can take some relatively decent videos :lol
This first one is of the prop room and some other related areas.
Here’s the deal.
Ignore :
1 – The cats.
2 – The dirt and/or mess.
3 – Reflections.
4 – Blinding bright flashes of light (Sorry, I can’t control the sun :lol)
5 – Which quickly turn to almost total darkness (I don’t know how to control the light levels on this camera either OK :lol ?)
6 – The cat howling to get into the prop room.
7 – My rambling.
8 – Any shaking. (This camera is way too frackin’ light, and its not easy to walk backwards ! )
Oh, like that wasn’t enough, I also don’t know how to edit (yet), so this is a continuous video using record, pause & resume only.
If you don’t mind all that , enjoy
It took 2 hours to convert 1.5 Gigs from MP4 to AVI, and another 1.5 hours to upload it to youtube, so enjoy :darnkids
:lol
If there is any particular replica or area you want to see more of, just let me know
