Hi team, So it's garage clean out today, so that means some of the motor and air pool get to see some sunlight These we are all collected by accident as result of being part of job lots when I had the classic VAM fever when I started collecting
Here are the VAM vehicles. A rather beaten up DUWK and two scorpions.one is san turret ring and turret has a crack.
This is the one vehicle I made a deliberate purchase on..from Dal, a cracking Navy jeep
The Cherlia contingent, with one strike force motorcycle and sidecar.
The Mam vehicles.. the Hummer is a brute..and very orange the three Rhinos
This is the HM armed forces 1/7 scale kit.I have about 6 more WIMK's in the loft along with a couple of AFV's.. Burgeoning Air corps
I may do my own May Day parade
Thanks for looking

Very impressive collection of motor and air power there Steve.
The Mam Rhinos are bloody cool looking kit I think.
The Hummer too, a beast, although you are right about it being VERY orange. I'd re-spray that if I had it.
Great stuff !!

Certainly a MOST impressive collection, and there's more than a couple there I'd like to own myself, but I do wonder where you find the space to house it. Those things tend to be.....BIG!

..Barry that’s exactly the problem…most are in the classic VAM garage..the loft
Thanks for the comments guys..the pool really expanded when I had my HM armed forces collecting “fever” 2years back..if only they had gone for 1/6 scale… ..
Kev I agree the Rhino is the best MAM vehicle imho. My eldest grandson loves the Hummer so it has had some er..typical 4/5 year old “play”. …but hey it’s great to see the kids lost in a little world of their own.
I think I will do a full inventory when Mrs Gunner is out for the day

I can't even imagine how immense your garage must be to store all this stuff! Four car garage, with three spaces filled with toys?

It is a two car garage Dave...and only had a car in it once I have kept 2 Rhinos , the USN jeep, The Hummer,DWUK and Scout car in garage for quick photo shoots. The rest are in loft..the usual VAM garage

I have a Rhino myself, but I'm more than a little reluctant to use it for any photos as so many guys here have those truly wonderfully detailed (and expensive!) jeeps they keep flashing.....

That’s an amazing motor pool! I’m surprised the HM forces figures are 1/7; as I’d thought that they were smaller, closer to mego or action Jackson size.
