Saw some of his work in an exhibition in Edinburgh a few years ago. Pretty hard-hitting stuff, as I remember.Cheers

Incredible collection thanks for taking the time to share it with us. What a great way to start my day
I've always dreamed of making part of a trench in my war room but have been shot down by the wife, I dont want to sidetrack this wonderful thread but can you share how you did those cases like that. I may be able to pull that one off.
Congratulations on building such a wonderful collection.

This collection is really insane. You've managed to find a top quality piece of every state and model. Without going in every possible variation of course. That you did this in only 10 years apparantly is a great accomplishment!

I used a triangular light wood frame to give it the depth perception and fit in the corner of the room. The outside planking is achieved by breaking up old pallets and attaching to the frame. Makes the whole structure light weight. The logs on top are branches from the garden cut short to give the appearance of a top covering.Incredible collection thanks for taking the time to share it with us. What a great way to start my day
