Some totally AWESOME models there.

I've only got about 1/3 of the way through, but my fave has to be the Don Garlit's SW27 'Sidewinder' dragster model. I've never seen that car modelled before and it's something else!

Thanks for sharing the pics Alan. Too bad we couldn't make it to Phoenix.

The collection of all Essexes was already impressive, but then there was the 700-strong AFV collection complete with the ludicrous-sized Dora railway gun

The FSA Saratoga actually reminds me of the real-world training carriers operated in the Great Lakes area during WW2.

Did a PzIV with the fold-out rocket turret actually exist, or is it a particularly tasty tank whiff?

The panzer was not in a fantasy section.Other than that I dont know

I like the Chevy ragtop with the pig in it, the fishing boat and the Tom Daniel collection.

Thanks again Dork.

Well I had to google, and... it's actually a real, one-off prototype, Raketenwerfer auf Fahrgestelle Pz.Kpfw. IV - up-armoured Ausf. C chassis with four 28cm Wurfkörper rockets in the turret. Apparently cyber-hobby.com even has a kit for this.
