Not at all. We'd better leave it there before we take this thread down.

You're right. Got carried away. Let's move along. :)

Much to my wife's chagrin, guitars.

I tell her it could be worse. A fraternity brother's father collected fire trucks. Yes, trucks is plural...

Here's my most recent guitar aquisition:

To get the ball rolling, here's a great find from eBay a few years back, paid half what it's worth. :)

(#2 Avengers in near mint cond.)

Approx. 800,000 year old hand axe, from the Sahara, made and likely used by Homo Erectus.

T-Rex tooth (Carcharodontosaurus)

Black pearl and Damascus auto, handmade.

400 million year old trilobite plate

8-10 million year old giant Megalodon shark tooth

I could do this all night, that's why my wife hates me.

So let's see your stuff!

where in the world do you get these stuff?

Thankful to live in a county & state where I can collect that which I am prohibited from discussing here.

Actually forum rules prohibit me from stating what I collect.

I think that they may be prohibited to be discussed or shown here in TRF. Maybe a moderator can shed some light.

This guitar is a stunning beauty!

I bet it has a wonderful sound!

whiskyguy · 1 May 2012, 01:36 PM

Stuff we don't "discuss"...

Liquor
Primarily Bourbon and Single Malts (150+ different types)
A little wine

Dan

Gorgeous Chairs!

And the ah, other stuff... Maybe as long as there is no weapons discussion this post will pass muster as my focus here is on the vehicles. Mods, if this post is in violation, please delete.

The newly acquired restoration project....

And the rest, all fully operational.....

My Rolex GMT 16700 with one of my tracks out on public display...

Megalobyte · 2 May 2012, 05:44 AM

Holy crap! My wife says MY stuff takes up space!

s4rest · 2 May 2012, 06:17 AM

Wow Paladin! That is quite a collection!

Somehow I think some of those might have shown up in a couple of movies...

I actually do have a little hobby business remting my and my friends ( its a very small community worldwide) WW2 armor out to film and promotional projects. None of these vehicles have been in a major film. A few have been in some history channel productions.

Funny, this time of year I field requests from wealthy kids and their parens looking to "rent a tank" for prom....lol. Needless to say the costs, logistics and insurance requirements end those dreams fast....

Paladin, that explains the forum name.

IMO nothing in this thread comes close to Paladin's collection of armored vehicles.

Currently I collect something a lot more trivial, blu-ray discs.

OMG!! That is a so cool... When can I come over to play!

By fully functional, do you mean the 50mm accessories as well?

Nope...the ATF/Peoples Republic of Kalifornia restrictions and the liability issues are waaaay too burdensome to make having a class III destructive device feasible to own. Im just not into the paperwork and a colonoscopy every year. The main guns are all demilled and fire black power blank shells very convincingly.

I do have a couple friends with M18 Hellcat TD's in the Midwest that have live breeches/guns. In fact a client is hiring one to film blowing up a couple vehicles and a small explosives filled barn later this month.

Nice fossil collection Megalobyte.
I used to do a bit of fossil hunting when I was young and still living in Africa.
Probably my best find to date would have been a complete lystrosaurus skull. Although I found plenty of ammonites and even a glossopteris seed!

If you get a chance its worth hunting your own fossils down, it’s incredibly rewarding.

gypsy jim · 2 May 2012, 10:57 AM

My wife and I have an eclectic collection of stuff. Our house is Martha Stewart meets the Smithsonian, but since lighting appears to be a theme, I rescued two of these from a church being demolished in 70's.

wokafu · 2 May 2012, 11:14 AM

i dare not even say anything when i saw you guys putting up your collection in here...btw nice collection people..

sirjohnbrian · 2 May 2012, 11:51 AM

I SOOOO want to drive that Hetzer.

I collect tanks to, but the plastic model types. They store more easily.

Sig228 · 2 May 2012, 12:51 PM

Been a firearms collector for a long time. Just sold a few to help finance my new 14060m. Still have a bunch. Just got into pens. Own two MB's. Looking for a non MB but quality fountain pen to add to my collection. Any suggestions?
