Achim Engels Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I just thought as a new member I show some of my models, which are all part of my own little modelling museum. Well actually it is all my mancave and friends suggested I open it at least one day in the month to the public. So it "accidently" turned into a museum that way. Here are some WWI related models and items in my room. I am happy to show more, if interest is. 13 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Some nice little models and artefacts there. I took a look at your museum website (from the watermark on one of the photos). It looks like a very interesting collection, and I would try to visit if ever in the area. Thank you for joining Britmodeller and sharing your pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieW Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Surely the greatest man cave in existence! Bit too far to drop in, you'll have to post more pictures! You weren't by any chance involved in building TVAL's BE2c 2612? Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not want to flood this place in the wrong spot. However, you can check out the whole collection also on Facebook. The pages may also serve well as resources for information to modellers. Here is the link. If this is not approbriate, may the admins feel free to delete. I do not want to take the attention away from here. You may find my work and the collection modelwise on my Fb pages at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2145618568814194/?multi_permalinks=8524085340967453¬if_id=1670821673421111¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif https://ww.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063549487830 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064067261938 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Achim, I have long admired your full-scale work and have been fortunate to see some of your aircraft in TVAL's collection (I live 3hr drive from their base). I would love to visit when my wife and I eventually get to Europe. Welcome to the forum and I confess to being a little star-struck!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever you are near feel free to come and see me. We could share a barbeque at my place. Maybe there is something new on the horizon to see at Masterton - but it is not all set yet, so I have to be not too loud about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
