My Other Hobby :)

Post by Chompers » Tue Apr 17, 2012 4:48 pm

I came out of the 'Dark Ages' as they call it at the beginning of last year and have been collecting ever since :D Was a massive fan as a young lad and the developements over the last25/30 years has been amazing. I guess it won't be everybodies cup of tea but thought I'd share a few pics with you all anyway
