Very Very nice michael. Just one question, where did you get the insignia poster from and also did you make the heer decal on the cupboard yourself? As for the fake breast eagle on the M40 I would swap it for a real one (they're cheap and easy to obtain) but that is personal preference

Very nice collection, AND your own war room!! How cool is that.

You young guys, especially in Europe are putting together some impressive collections. 16 years old?? And your Dad is helping you set up your room, YOU are very lucky indeed.

Please keep us updated, and thanks for sharing!!

Jim took the words out of my mouth.

Impresive collection

It's nice to see that people accept this hobby now and even help. I'm sure
that the next generation will have even easier time with this hobby ( but
maybe much more expensive ).

Keep up the great collection Michael and keep us updated as it grows.

Best regards,

Ran

Michael,

Thanks for sharing. What a great, supportive Dad you have - your own war room... wow. I had to buy my wife a damn Kirby vacume to get mine (and it's still used as the office/computer room)!

Take care.

Hello Michael.

What an impressive collection! I'm 15 myself and it's great to see more young members, they're breeding! Lovely, could you take some closer pics of the camo helmets for me and show them here? They look fantastic.

Congratulations, keep up the fantastic work.
