A couple of new beasts in collection
MAZ 5551 dumper by AIST. Based on a pre-production truck, i like it for it's color scheme

And a most recent purchase: MAZ 504 with Alka N12CH trailer in livery of SovTransAvto. 1:43 by Start Scale Models. Rather expensive one, but highly detailed

I used to have a collection of model trucks, a few I got from my mums former partner who used to work for DAF, they were concept models worth thousands. My little brother had the smooth brain idea to use them as destruction derby entrants and he completely destroyed them without a care. I've never actually forgiven him for it as I recently saw the same models on Ebay selling for crazy money. Nowadays I only have a handful of models, mostly motorbikes and a single Eddie Stobart Volvo FH12.
Has anyone ever been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I'll expand on my collection - the photos are ordinary as they are difficult to photograph without arranging them (and you'll see why I don't arrange all of them).

My small collection of OTR trucks (the oversize Drake models are seriously detailed - the seats even have springs under them to simulate air ride suspension.

[ external image ]
1:50 scale fire apparatus that don't fit with the rest of the collection.

The bulk of the collection - several hundred model fire apparatus, ambulances, a few police cars, boats, helicopters and miniature firefighters (along with my medals).

I also have a bit over 100 military aircraft and helicopters from WW1 to present day.

Damn! Now that’s a collection, @natvander! How long did it take to gather so many vehicles?
