Hi, the following is a sample pic of my latest page : Model Maniac Page 18 - Part E
which is an Extra Part named “Model Maniac Room Tour”
This Part shows every corner of my 4x4m room, a room so packed with
showcases of models and dioramas that there is only little room for
passage way. 47 more pictures are available at :

Enjoy viewing! [:)]
Maniac,
Great pics. You have been busy over the years. A lot of nice kits in there. Some real classics.
Great job on the models too.
very nice!!! did you made your own display cases???
Exellent!
Ron.
WOW [:0]
You have been very busy
great models
Quite a collection you’ve got there MM. [:D] I think you need a bigger room! [:p]
Eric
How about letting people in and charging them for admission? [8D]
That’s a wonderful collection of built and unbuilt kits. Where did you get the display cases for the ships?
Wow! It’s like a small museum.
Have you built all those or do you also collect completed kits? If you built all those, where do you find the time? Wow!
Looks like u got quit a bit o’ unbuilt discontinued DML/Dragon 1/35 figure sets[:)] could be worth some money!
That’s one tight room where I want to be in. LOL. Great room. modelmaniac. In case I I am Bangkok again, I’ll try to visit. They should have included that in the packaged tours, you know.
Thanks for the a look into your wonderful room. I am jealous.

I’d like to thank everybody for your kind comments and compliments on my collection.
I’ll try to respond to all inquiries here.
Ricardo and kaleu, the acrylic display cases for ships were made to order, I asked my
modeler to order from a shop and deliver it to me along with the ship. The case for the
Sovremenny Destroyer is made of 5mm thick clear acrylic (even its base is clear) and
costed me $50 plus $7.50 allowance for the modeler’s time in contacting the shop.
All aluminium showcases were bought in the market, and all wooden showcases were
made to order.
David, I myself quitted modeling for some 5-6 years now because if I do them myself
then nobody would want to look at my models or Webpages since I have no modeling
talent. I have found some of the best modelers to model for me, i.e., ‘Art Instructor’
has been working on armors and dioramas for 3-4 years, and ‘Niphon’ who has started
just this year working on warplanes and warships.
Dwight, if you have a chance to come to Bangkok again (or any of you here have
such chance), you may call me 02-392-3709 to ask for the direction to my house.
Some local Thai have already visited my house and viewed my collection, but
not yet a foreigner. I’d be glad to welcome you!.
BARsrules2, those figure sets could be worth some money. But that will be nothing
compared to what I have spent. Just during the past 7 years, I’ve spent more than
1 M Baht ($ 25,000 at current exchange rate) on models & modeling services.
You might think I’m rich, but that is wrong, I’m still using a 17 years old Honda
MTX-125 - an offroad motorbike - as my personal vehicle to go anywhere in Bangkok.
It can do 50-60 miles per gallon, that’s a lot of savings!.
With so much positive feedbacks, I want to show the rest of my collection in and
around my house. Hopefully Page 18 - Part F will be available in a few days time,
and I’ll let you know in this Forum. Thanks again!.
