Digger Stuff

[Mariusz Loslau]

Hi,
Some pics of my colllection. Some stuff are not in the best condition - but many of them come from battlefields, around place where I was living. Some of them, have interesting history. Of course everything is already empty and safe.

Regards.

Hi,

Great collection:congrats::tinysmile_fatgrin_t!!!!Why don't you restorate some of that steel grenades and mortar shells?

Thats depends what do you mean by "Restorate"?
...rebuilding? ...repainting? No, I'm always was against that.
They are relics, finds from ww2 battlefields. For me they not must look like brand new from factory, like plactic toys... .
I use only a chemical cleaning, sometimes only little repair (when is necessary) - that's all.

Regards

Awesome collection, and I agree with you 100% on restoration as in my mind an item loses character when fooled with Dan

 

[HAZORD]

Yes, a very nice looking well organized collection. Everything looks like it all belongs together with the chemically cleaned surfaces the same. That 120mm puffer fish looks dangerous though!
