Most of my figures are in 10 man sections, each section represents a regiment of 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. Eventually I hope to do all nine regiments and support units, as well as 2nd Armoured Brigade and 18th Armoured Car Regiment, 2nd Canadian Corps.
The sections pretty much live in boxes of 10, we dio and attend a few shows and it makes transport simple, to wherever.
The shelves in the Quartermaster's Storesdisplay mostly vehicles, the boxes and parts.

All you're missing is HT's Marlon Brando "Wild Ones" for that Triumph.
 
WOW!Thats one sweet collection,different than the other collections ive seen here,but very good,how much did those tanks cost you?Or are they custom made?
 
I just checked your video,and im very impressed,have you created all that yourself or was it shot outdoors?If you display your stuff the way you did in your video then your collection is by far the most creative setup ive ever seen.

Sure people display alot of nice collectibles in glass cabinets and shelves,but your collection is by far the best because of the setup.I talked about this earlier about creating such environments for our figures,but no one seem to care about such stuff.

Very well done mate,youre a very creative guy :)

5 stars from me.

My backyard is slowly becoming 1/6 scale. It is constantly in a state of flux and changes are made as required. There are a couple of local club members that are quite active and we dio quite a bit.
Below are some pictures of the backyard in various states.

I cant understand why this thread hasnt gotten more attention,your setup is without a doubt the best setup i have EVER seen.Do you display your stuff outdoors or is it just for the Photos?

I see you are making something indoor too,very nice man.

I find it very strange that people doesnt show interest in such setup,this is exactly what every collection need,me myself are planning something as soon as i find myself a bigger place.

if you have something else to show us,please post pics,i never get tired of watching it.
 
Great stuff, love to see someone so dedicated to their hobby! The backyard shots are especially awesome!

I actually have one of the M5 Stuart Tanks... its stock right now, but I'd like to try my hand at customizing it. My grandfather was in a tank battalion in WWII... my goal is to evntually bash together something representative of him (although as far as I know he didn't use the M5).
 
This is amazing. The amount of work and attention to detail are beyond anything I've ever seen on this forum. Everything just looks so realistic. The scenes look like real war photos. You sir, are an artist.
