My Office
Hello everyone
This is my first entry as a TC member so thought you might like to see what i have been upto over the past year of restoring my original Sandscorcher and the follow on projects this led to.
In total have 1 restored Scorcher, 2 restored Rough Riders, 1 shelf Buggy Champ, 1 runner BC and a running 2010 scorcher.
Thanks for all your motivation to date - fantastic to see all your projects and amzing enthusiasm for the hobby you all hold - you have all been great inspiration to me in the dark months of the frozen north.
Hope to post more up to date photos soon but just testing that I can make my showroom work to start.
Cheers

Awesome collection, that goes for your figures too, you should definately drop Victorious Secret a line, he's got a cool bunch too!

Welcome to the Club, mate. You have such a nice collection! Wait a second... that's not fair! You have all those and I have none.
Seemingly, what you need is a Super Champ!
mongoose1983
By the way, are you going to tell us a bit about the figure collection you have there? I'm curious about it. Also, what about that robot up there? Myself, I like the old mego WGSH figures and my personal favorites are the Matchbox/Lesney's mid 70's Fighting Furies.

Impressive lineup! K9 would make a great RC.

Thanks for all your comments Guys - Glad you like the team. Lots of questions about the Action Men (again a childhood memory that have re-kindled). Quality is everything with action Men and was lucky to find a great seller on e-bay who had collected portion of the mint part of this set over many years and was looking to sell it on (month by month!). Dr WHO are my little boys collection - overspill from his room! Thanks again for comments - Must say a big thank you to j-man for his excellent alloy bumpers and rear cage - still need a few more and would love one of your spider cages John if you do any more (yours are the best mate).

j-man
Wow !! Awesome collection you have there, i remember having an evil knievel for christmas one year and having an unfortunate chrismas tree felling incident i'm not sure my aunt has forgiven me yet lol . You are far too kind with the comments mate and the pleasure is all mine, Welcome to this awesome club and get yourself over to tamiya 101 ...
Superb!!!

Johns work is amazing! Glad to see his work on your buggies. The spider cages are some of my favorite pieces. I have two of them and am very proud to sport them on at least one of my RR's so far. I am now building a red and white RR to fit my other spider cage to. Nice collection.
Doc007
best of luck with the RR build Mark - look forward to seeing it in your fab showroom

Mark.....very nice collection. I have a new re-release Buggy Champ in the box....now I want to build it after looking at your collection. Very nice!
RACECRAFTERS
Ooh Doc007! Your collection of Action Man brings tears to my heart. I've shared many battles!!! alongside those guys and they sure bring back fond memories. I absolutely Adore Your Collection
Doc007
Thanks very much Racecrafter - Its a real nostalgia trip for me too - My boys are now into playing with my old and battered Action Man too (i.e. not the display ones but the ones that I absolutely hammered as a boy and Im not worried about them getting played with). Have added a Blazing Blazer and Leopard to the collection now so room is getting even fuller!! Thanks for your kind words.
Tyboart
Love your office pics!..the Evil knievel stuff is a riot!..I remember that stuff so well. I always had Kenner SSPs when I was a kid..I still have some old Hot Wheels from the sixties...fun stuff!
Doc007
Thanks Tyboart - I bought some new Evil Knievel from the US a year or so ago for one of my sons xmas - he loves it (postage was as expensive as the toys however!) EK was huge over here when I was a boy and have the dvd of all his crashes!!
Tyboart
Yes, EK was almost god like to us as kids...drawing his motorcycles, being distraught at his attempt at retirement. Old memories. Also..I know postage has gone into outer space, seems I can't send anything to the UK under $30.
slimmy
exterminate, exterminate, EXTERMINATE!! LOL I sure have fun in your showrooms. Great posts my friend.
Doc007
Sooo many Daleks in our house - wife used to be scared of them but they have kind of grown on her (2 boys (sorry 3) in house) has helped her phobia - LOL
slimmy
That big Dalek is kinda scary. But definitely cool. I bet its hard keeping the kids out of your office. Have they found a way to pick the lock yet?
kougercat
Oh my my looking through those pictures its like I had one of those and one of them and and and..... this nostalga trip is going to cost me a bomb now !! thanks for sharing this great collection what a trip down ......
Doc007
Glad you like- see how I get distracted - LOL
Crash Cramer
Great toy shoppe you have here, oh wait, it is your office. I don't know where on the planet I was when you posted this first time around, but I am glad you kept it up for memory's sake. That GIANT Dalek is WOW, bet it makes a good security guard.
Doc007
Thanks Crash, Glad you like - space is a premium now in here and still quite a few things I'd like so think Ill have to move house Enjoy
