My son had left a small "hanging vitrine" when he left home several years ago.
He said I could have it, and I wanted to paint it white.
But I never got round to do it, and yesterday when Son was here, he put it up on the wall for me

The intention was that I would have my Starlux-figures there, - but alas, they are so small

So now I have crammed too much into it, it looks horrible, but, anyway - here it is

If I show it to you now, hopefully it will inspire me to make it look better so I can show you an improvement later

That's terrible Susanne I hope you will survive

Congratulation for your BAYALUX vitrine

Congrats Susanne! display is nice & especially with the colin dog set.

Yeah I like your collection too... very nice

What a fantastic tread this is, to see some of your collections here or again!
I am quit familiar with some of your collections, like Sergeys, which always are a joy to see!
After a long time, i see pictures of Christophes collections again, which are awesome of course, although i don't get the point how he select his animals and brands, because everything seems to be quit mixed up, please explain my friend!
Not, the composition, metall collections, i understand them...
Right now, i have my collections devided in animal species and animal groups, and i lack a lot of space, but we all have that i guess...
I do have lots of them in boxes to, which won't find a place right now.
I will do my best do make some pics the coming week, and when i find the time, make some little movies, which i will put on youtube, from which you will get the links here after that then.
I hope much more collections will come here soon, so that we can enjoy them all!

So... The topic is "your collections now" So you saw my "collections now"

So why mixed up ???? Too busy ? Too lazy ? Too much wine ?

My 1960's and 70's collection are in box but I try to find a solution to add more displays : so no STARLUX, JIM and only a few HAUSSER and BRITAINS are visible.

@ Sergey and Martin : Yes, eagle eyes You can see a Lenin There is also a Mowgli and a Tintin


By the way, I missed the last page of this topic Congratulation for your displays Littlelady

Well, i ment not to harm you of course...
But i see al sort of animal groups, families and so on mixed up through those vitrines and shelfs of yours...
you dived some groups in age of makers, but after that i see dinosaurs mixed with modern animals, and scales mxed up, i can't see clear, haha...
And this had nothing to do with drinking my famous Baco...

Great collection Rusty! Those dragons are so cool!
What brand are those small black and white rabbits?
