Good stuff! Old Colts are always appreciated. I always wanted both a SIG P210 and a Smith & Wesson Model 41.

210s and 41s are great shooters, trouble is, once you shoot them, everything else kinda pales in comparison. We should start a things that go boom thread.

Star Trek memorabilia ... I have action figures, starship models, autographs, books, comics, soundtrack CDs, uniforms, glassware, and more ... Not to mention all seasons of all series and all films.

What can I say? My dad took me to my first convention in 1976 and I've been a Trekker ever since.

I also love James Bond ... I have several early hardcover Fleming editions, and all of my old Corgi cars. The gadgets still work!

I went to classes some years ago but could not get past a very bad Hang down your head Tom Dooley. Always been in admiration of those who can play musical instruments, or anyone who can do stuff with their hands. Read about a knife maker on here yesterday which Standy posted, I wish I had some practical skills.

I collect 1st edition books. I have been collecting them for 20years. Its a lot cheaper than buying watches but like collecting watches I dont do it with a view to making any money. I did pick up a first edition of Of Mice and Men for 50p which could sell for upto 600 quid but I would not sell any of my books.

I've literally (2 minutes ago) just finished Of Mice and Men. Amazing book.

It is a wondeful book. There is a film with John Malcovich in it that is also good. The book was originally designed to be adapted as a play which is why there is so much dialoug in it. The title is from a poem by the scottish poet Robert Burns. You might also like Cannery Row which is one of my other favourite Steinbeck books.

Without realising it I seem to have started a cardboard box collection.

I like the naked chick on a bike poster on the wall to make it look like a legitimate motorcycle workshop 馃憤

At one time it was...

My other collection that isn't really a collection is guitars.

The only one that would be considered a collectors item is the Fender strat at the back. It's a c1988 Fujigen Japanese factory model that I've owned since new. They were better than the US models at that time & Fender stopped them being exported into the West not long after. Apparently they're sought after in unmodified original condition like this. Most were modded as a lot of people didn't like the old fashioned design of the pick ups.

Y'all are looking far too closely at that poster if you can tell all that.

No hat. No sandals (unless high heels count...)

Looks like I might have to post a better picture of it !

It's actually pretty amazing anyone spotted it, given that it's over in the corner and pretty blurry.

The majority of posters are males after all...
