Nothing exciting, I was pulling stuff out
of the garage earlier in the year and found the multi-drawer cabinets I keep
all the odds and sods in, by which I mean sewing, boot-polishing, kitchen, plumbing
and hardware stuff, but there happen to be six drawers of mostly Micro Machines (in a minute) and a couple
with keys and key-rings, which we will look at another day.
Spaceships, mostly Galoob Star Wars stuff, but some Aliens, Star Trek and Soma found their way in as well! AFV's
also contain some knock-offs (Kenner
Microverse etc.) and I think here I have most of them but one day will
consult the Micro Machine
Meusuem to identify my gaps and then find them on evilBay (none of them are
rare) so I can do complete lines-ups for year/wave, when I do the A-Z entries.
Helicopters, not many, a feature of the
hobby refelceted in the few newsprint images I could find to paste on the
drawer-front, although the same was true for the spaceships! Civil cars, trucks
and buses, the motorcycles - being closer to 20/25mm - were in their own box in
the main collection, as were the ATV's, speeder bikes &etc. The lid of the
really useful box limited the opening of the drawers!
Ships and 'planes, quite a few planes, not
so many ships, but they didn't make many and I think they are all there?
There's about three versions of the ICBM-sub, and a rather natty bright-green
mini-submersible (visible).
The drawers need work; when I glued the
little cuttings on, so I knew which drawer was which, the PVA/wood-glue dried
invisible, but time (20+ years) and storage have not been kind to my efforts!
The cuttings came from Collector's
Gazette back when it was newsprint.
That's it, just . . . an image-clear of stuff to come,
sometime!
