| Hey Tiggers !! Just 5 years ago, I shared a story with many vintage collectors, witch was - not to accept the fact that I lost some of my star wars figure from my childhood collection. Watching the OT regarlily on dvd the old figure were dug up by a small arrangement, remenissing the first time seeing A New Hope. I chose to seek out people and sites to see if they were able to find some of the old star wars figure, and set the goal low. I never expected that I after little over 3 years later had a complete basic collection, with fun variations, and ability to search a little more exclusive things. I grew up in Holland, from I was 6 and up to I was 13 years of age. So star wars figure for my upbringing were Clippers. I have now had time now to learn a lot about the Danish collective culture also. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]For a while I only had one cabinet for display and keep changing it up as I see fit. My first figure as a kid was Barada, and still have him. I was lucky enough to buy a Clipper barada moc, and that startet a whole barada/skiff/bounty hunter tribute. Its still a work in progress and I still like improving it with small purchases now and then.¨ [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" /> [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" /> [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" /> [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" /> [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" /> [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="" /> As a kid I also loved Transformers and MASK, and have begun collecting a few of those to. I would like to make dioramas of it all like a toy catalog, in the mean time I´m just having fun building my nerdfort out of vintage toys MASK[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]TRANSFORMERS[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Thanks for looking !!

| Nice collection, bud. I like the Endor diorama how you got it set up. And the Tri/Clipper Barada is the bomb. ********************************************************************************************************************* This is not a signature. do not read this.

Its more like a car in the ghetto thats got 4 flat tires, blown engine, but one hell of a stereo system in it. all your able to do is listen to the radio, but its stuck on the same channel |

The village was broken and basicly got for free. I made sketches when this was a work in progress, but seem to chanse everytime I got something new to the set. It was fun to make and I would rather have this, than all the other typical stuff witch I had before, and make it personal  |

| Updated with some more diorama pictures. Can anyone find Friar Tuck in there, or did he go of on a bender?  |
