Story of my life.......at least a good part of it
Late seventies beginning of the eighties. The attempt to protect the models from the dust with celophane and tesa film tape
I still have some of them
First collor photo`s taken with an Kodak Instamatic camera
The Mustang has been restored to the original plastic collors...
Late eighties........cars fever......with a nice glass protected display shelf
The other half
These ones were build in 1984
1986
My first working place. A quarter of the closet . About 60cmm wide.
They`ve been here in my sisters home for almost 10 years while I was abroad working.
During those yars I kept on modelling
Another shelf. Hope you like it.

Jorge FerreiraSpanjaard, if you look at the bw photo of the shelf covered with cellophane you can find models that I throw away showed in that album. At least the Matchbox A4. 😁

André SilvaBoa coleção e ainda melhores memórias. Também tenho feito um esforço para guardar/exibir os meus modelos ao longo dos anos. Já tive um móvel mas por falta de espaço tive de ficar sem ele e tive de guardar os meus modelos em caixas de sapatos. Entretanto comprei na Amazon caixas de sapatos transparentes que dão para montar e estou bastante satisfeito.

Finally I decide to scan some photos of my earlier modelling time. Not the beginning but the time I was able to spend some money taking pictures instead of buiyng kit`s. It was quite expensive by that time. Some of the models (all of the cars) are still alive and they have been with me along this last 45 years or more. I believe a lot of mates have wonderfull photos to share too. Please show them.
