I hear ya...there is space on the bottom floor that I have not encroached on and other space on that same level that needs to be finished off...walls knocked down etc...with Bond 23 coming it will be a must.
I have watched you collection grow over the years and although some of your collection is not to my taste you have some nice items , I remember a few years ago, you gave another collector some advice of how to display his collection, you said you rotated what you put out on display ? I even followed this advice, so what is going on ? lol if I remember correctly you also said you try and display as they would in a store ? it is more market than store now, sort it out Dave, you know you have a great collection now show it to full effect -{
I am not trying to offend, just being my usual straight forward self and trying to offer advice
Thanks for the advice...my advice back then was to someone who had a few pieces and wanted a museum like display. I never wanted that type of display. Each of my sections is created to look like an archive at the end of a mission...when all the bits and pieces have been collected so to speak. They are also available to be touched, played with, tried on etc. Those who have visited me appreciate this mentality and helps break down the barrier of the "glass wall" that some people create around their collection. So you see, the "hodgepodge" you may perceive is quite purposeful and I dare say if you were amongst it you would see that every bit of the display is thought out in serious detail...it just happens to differ from yours.

I do get your point Dave, I was just getting at rotating your display so you have less out, I didn't mean behind glass at all.
You might want to iron the clothes too lmao.
I am going to try and get a feel of your collection by taking your virtual tour, I have never been able to download it before and for some reason today it works
Hey I never try to be unkind, I just speak my mind
Well I am half way through, see that is quite a nice display but it is an old pod cast, now you have much more stuff? I know us collectors never stop but what I am saying until you make you basement bigger, you have really run out of room to display it as nice as you did before .
Right, the reason I stopped halfway through, your TWINE Omega, you say in the pod cast it is screen used ?
Nice update to the collection Dave! I noticed the orange beavertail dive jacket. Is it a vintage Voit jacket?

So, what sharp little eyes you've got...wait till you get to my teeth.

Mantis, great collection however since one of our newest members J.Bauer's recent pictures, you are going to have to pick your game up, you are showing yourself up and doing your collection a massive injustice.
LOL...here is a picture of Ed stealing a sign from Kananga for my collection...it's gestures like this from friends like Ed that make my collection what it is today.

That being said I do want to start a NSNA area...

BTW, Dave, you need more space....
