I've just joined the forum after visiting for quite a while - excellent site!
I have been a dinosaur and fossil fan since childhood when I was given an Aurora Prehistoric Scenes Saber-tooth tiger one birthday.
Following a large gap from the Mesozoic in my wayward years, I re-discovered dinos by chance when an old flat-mate was type-setting the UK Dinosaur Collectors Club newsletter in the late 90s for Mike Howgate.
I've been re-hooked since and built up a small but perfectly formed collection (Its constrained by competition for space from my lovely wife and daughters, although I'm working on the latter!)
I'll post some pics of the collection soon, but glad to find some similarly afflicted folk!
Cheers

Thanks for the welcome!
Been taking snaps of the collection so will try to upload soon, assuming I can utilise my ropey IT skills to make it work!

Welcome crackington! I´ve just seen your collection and I really like it! Some Invictas, some wwd - some typically British stuff in there. Nicely displayed in those acrylic cubes!

Thanks guys,
I'm not really that systematic a collector, just tend to go for the stuff I like and can afford (and can fit in the cabinet)!
I think the forum's great and love seeing all the different ways the members display their models and use their imaginations - more power to your collective elbows!
