That is quite an impressive and massive collection! Especially the computer hardware, I had to do some research on some of the older ones. Too bad you don't have those old 3dfx cards anymore.
 
Those swords are pretty neat too.

Yeah 3dfx was where it all started I do have a few but my trophies are gone trophies as these go:
 
Top:
3dfx Velocity 200 AGP 16MB Rev.A0 2699
Center:
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 AGP x4 32MB Rev.A0 3700 (1st Card) & 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 PCI_LCD 64MB Rev.A1 2900 (From 3dfx Apple Group)
Bottom:
3dfx Voodoo5 6000 AGP 128MB Rev.A 3700 + Late Voodoo Volts.

3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP x4 64MB Rev.A2 3500 compared to 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP 64MB Rev.A 2500:



 
That were my best card ever and I miss those most.
It's good I still have the photo's and the memeories but mainly the knowledge to help others
Here my 3dfx report for what I did for the entire 3dfx community :
http://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2185131
 
With that I was made Admin & Co-Owner of the x-3dfx community, which was the official 3dfxgzmers.com community during 3dfx's active days
So it's not too bad then, here our page at Facebook, it's where we are most active nowadays:

Hey all

Well, I decided to collect more than just Tu-144's, Concorde's also gotten my interest as have never produced SSTs like the B2707, L-2000 or the MD AST, anyways, for now I have 6 Tu-144's and 1 Concorde, it's a good start and I hope to get more as I go along.


As Scale goes 1:200 is my faved scale with 1:400 as great alternative if 1:200 doesn't have what I am seeking , so these two scales will be used for this collection
Sorry for making a new thread again, it's that the non Tu-144 based planes will be offtopic for all the other threads I made thus this new thread was of need to fulfill this concept.

------------------------------------------------------
Here my Aérospatiale/BAC Concordes:
------------------------------------------------------
Hogan Wings
Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde
British Airways "Landor Livery" Reg Number: G-BOAE "Alpha Echo"
Scale 1:200
------------------------------------------------------

So here come the photo's then

Here the DHL Shipping tracker:


You can see where my package came from and where and when it exactly got delivered; many thanks to Dai Kong for the great packing and DHL for their ultra fast service and carefully delivering my package

And here the package + Custom Taxes receipt:


So here the Alpha Echo's packaging + two bags from Dai Kong's Hobby shop, to give his shop some credit too


Rear view of the box:


And here the top flap opened revealing the Concorde:


Here the inner packing; as you see it's very well packed and carefully protected:


Box contents:



Here the Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde British Airways Landor Livery G-BOAE - Alpha Echo it's self:

cool


Thanks man

Yeah I love the BA Landor Connie, seen one back in 1989 which was the Alpha Foxtrot, here a photo of that exact plane i saw on April 12, 1989 at Perth International Airport:

Photo made by David Eyre.

It was mainly because of that day to maintain that cool memory it gave a mini airshow as well, the sound was so brutal man Acceleration was pretty decent too.
Even that my model is the Alpha Echo, that don't matter it's the BA Landor Livery that counts most, this is how Concorde was during it's best years, even that the Negus years weren't bad either, still need to get me a good Negus Livery too.

Hey all :-)

Here something else than just MiG-29's or SST's, but the good ole Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet series, always loved these flown three variants as well, not the best of liveries but they gave me great memories, mainly how stable they are no matter the weather situation and to collect them well to me they are the most elegant looking widebodies ever made, my favorites are the Boeing 747SP-44 from South African Airways a,d the Boeing 747-400 from Qantas for the 2016 Australian Olympic Team.

So here we go then shall we:

Boeing 747-400-F
TNT "Global Express Logistics & Mail"
Skymarks Models
Scale 1:200










Boeing 747-400
China Airlines "50th Anniversary"
Herpa Wings
Scale 1:200










Boeing 747-300
Qantas "Nalanji Dreaming"
Skymarks Models
Scale 1:200










Boeing 747-400
Qantas "Wunala Dreaming"
Herpa Wings
Scale 1:200










"Nalanji Dreaming" & "Wunala Dreaming":








Boeing 747SP-44
South African Airlines "Hantam"
Inflight 200
Scale 1:200












Upcoming:

Boeing 747-400
Qantas "Spirit of the Australian Team"
Inflight 200
Scale 1:200









Here a video of that exact plane taking off from brisbane International Airport, Queensland, Australia made by Dat Plane Guy:


All  my B747's are 1:200, 1 is diecast the other 4 are plastic, but the 6th  one which I will buy next week is also diecast metal, Inflight 200 is  the brand of choice, mainly the amount of details they put in their  models and the accuracy, that too plays a large role, no sense making a  model that has many inaccuracies right ;) :cool:

Finally the day has come!

Here two two new Queens that arrived from Arcunia, The Netherlands:

The boxes of my two new Queens from the top view with a cool greetings post card from Arcunia Models Store and a business card from them as well, Kudos to Arcunia for packing them in very carefully, good job guys :cool:


top of the two boxes:


Rear view with some information of Inflight 200 & JC Wings


top side info


rear side info


Inner boxes have good quality soft foam


Both queens are neatly packed with upper thin plastic protection, the Wing probes of the B747-206B also had plastic protection covers, all very carefully and well packed a very important thing imo :-) Great Job Inflight 200 & JC Wings :cool:


A Gathering of Queens & a Ticket..

Info about the ticket

The KLM Ticket was from a trip I had on a KLM B747-306 PH-BUW on Dec 22 1985 & Jan 24 1986was for my 4 week Vacation from to The Netherlands ,was at the time I lived in Australia:

This Star Alliance of Queens; I got the idea from the Star Allaince Logo btw, I saw it on the Thai B744 ...
So I was like time to do something with that and my Queens  Worked like Magic 


As you stare in to the center The Gathering of Queens made the ticket vanish! :eek:


There is a slight change..


The Gathering of Queens pulls you towards the center:


The Queens want to take you on a trip:


A trip beyond worlds!

The Cheatlines are greatly missed these days, also something I must truly admit:


On  this model the strobe light can also clearly be seen on the top of her  upper deck. all the other applied details make it look complete:


KLM does Bellies up,  Great details there as well and the Inflight 2000 logo; the hole is for the stand btw:


Another  top angled view of this majestic oldie it gives me magical memories as I  flew on this very aircraft on Jan 27/28 1980 from Amsterdam to Dubai to  Singapore to Melbourne to Sydney to move from The Netherlands to  Australia
That aircraft was also the PH-BUA which is exactly the same as this model which also had this 1971 KLM Retro livery!
So life could not get any better after finding and buying this fantastic model


The  top view of the KLM B747-206B, gives a good example of how large this  thing is.
The SATCOM can also clearly be seen just behind the upper deck,  I love such details, gives the model a more completed and accurate  look.


The KLM Logo on the vertical stabilizerm simplly the best livery for KLM ever


KLM  B747-206B on her stand with the Limited Edition 240 Pcs Card.
Also a post  card from 1986 my grandmother sent me when I lived in Australia back in 1986.
Top  left of that postcard I found something really cool... something I never  knew til today..21 years later rofl! 


Here a closeup of the postcard, Wardair Canada B747-100 a Philippines Airlines DC10 and 5 KLM B747-206B's, the Queen top left is interesting...


It's  the PH-BUA! same aircraft I flew on on Jan 27/28 1980!!
It's the same exact aircraft as m  the Model I have, just in the successor Livery from the mid 1980's this  was a very cool find!


The Trip continues onwards.

As you see Thai Airways International is also part of Star Alliance just like KLM is, also showing the front cargo door:


Also note the strobe light on her hump:


Bellies up! Nice detailed view here as well:


Pathoomawadi the Thai B747-4D7 from this angle <3
Also note that JC Wings made the wings part of the main fuselage mold:


The majestic purple, white gold magenta & purple patterns meet almost halfway up her back:

And this is where this lovely trip comes to an end, so here the three final B747 pics I took for this topic of mine with my new Queens 

From KLM to Thai:


And From Thai to KLM:


Here the two Queens side by side old and new or new and old no matter how you see it
They both resemble the most symbolic, majestic and most iconic aircraft of all time Boeing 747 Jumbot Jet


Hereby I hope you like my review of these two, even I added a mini journey like story to some of the pics
This was a journey to find them, save up for them but then and then finally make this lovely photo shoot of them as well;
All in all this journey came safely to it's end, hope to see you on the next trip my EVGA friends

Re: Meet my VGA Table, a way of keeping loved hardware that is worth collecting xD 2017/06/09 01:09:48 (permalink)
This is a repost, just doing this so they are easier to link to, and still my best collection, to me this post is worth it :)
 
So here is my Dino-riders Collection, that I Collected from March 22, 1987 to November 22, 2013, that are 26 years and 8 months of pure dedication
Top Rows:


Middle Rows:


Bottom Rows:

 
Here some of the Boxes I kept

 
Rear box paints of the two big boxes; these paints were done by Ezra Tucker:

The small box has the same art as the top one
 
Here the entire display

 
This is to my my most precious collection I ever took part of, most of these go for around 2500 Euro new in box each, so kind of irreplaceable...
Here an example of the Dino-Riders Rulon Tyrannosaurus Rex:
 
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Dino-Riders-Tyrannosaurus-Rex-mit-Krulos-Cobrus-Bitor-Tyco-1987-MISB-/263008534194?hash=item3d3c87beb2:g:ZIYAAOSww5hZKylf







She ever been out of that box for 30 years!
This is to give you an example of their value, the -Rex is not even the rarest one, the Rarest ones are from Series 3L
Valorians:
Chasmosaurus with Llava
Pachyrhinosaurus with Atlas
 
Rulons:
Quetzalcoatlus with Algar
 
These if found new in box can easily go well over 3000 a 4000 USD, I got extremely lucky that I got my Pacyrhinosaurus with Algar new in box from a guy in Paris for 350 Euro and on November 22 2013 the Quetzalcoatlus with Algar for 529 Euro from a DR Collector friend from Madrid for a special offer, even they both were from ebay, in 2014 that same item was sold for 4200 USD.
 
Collecting items from the 1980's isn't a cheap hobby rofl
