Ben's collection...all of it.
« on: February 24, 2009, 02:51:23 »
Hey everyone,

I was doing a bit of dusting over the weekend and finally got around to taking a few pictures.

I figure I'll start with the fire department, since that makes up the majority.  :)


The fire department now operates from 6 stations.
5 engine companies, 2 ladders and 1 quint, 5 medic units, 1 heavy rescue, and quite a few spares and staff cars.

Staff cars and the squads. The blue truck belongs to the chief with the others being the EMS and shift supervisors. The 5 medic units are supported by 4 of the older styles squads in case of maintenance, accident, etc.

All of the fire trucks are separated by stations. Eventually I want to build stations for each. I have one almost finished that is covered in a tile that looks like Playmobil sized stone.  :-[

I also have some classic stuff that I'm pretty excited about.

Anyways, that's all I have. With the new fire trucks and citylife sets, I'm sure it will only get larger.  ::)

Thanks for taking the time to view the pictures.

Thank you for the photos Ben, that is quite a collection you have there! :wow:

Very civilized storage too, where do you keep the figures? I am afraid you are right in that there will always be an opportunity for us to grow personally (figuratively and collection-wise) :yup:.

Wonderful collection, Ben, and nicely displayed.  Like Gepetto, I'd interested in what you do with the figures.


I hope when we get moved to a new place to do something similar myself, I even hope to have the basics for a diorama out all the time so I can quickly build up scenes.  Still, we've got to move first!
