delswal 3,817 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Ive half heartedly collected West Ham programmes but thrown so many out the car window in temper on the way home from games i wouldnt class myself a full on collector !.....i also have a collection of every West Ham home shirt since the early 70,s. Always fancied collecting taxidermy but never quite got round to it. Well Gnasher if you're starting collecting taxidermy, West Ham would be a good starting point...........they have been stuffed enough times 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can certainly see your enthusiasm for Caithness! Each and every one I have seen is a work of art! I wish you every success in your venture to add to your collection! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wildling 520 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Collected a few models of some of the locomotives I used to drive up until I retired 10 years ago, and knocked up a display cabinet out of beech.. cabinet.jpg That's a cracking collection and one that just sort of clicks with me, fantastic way of triggering past memories from work.

Born Hunter 17,638 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Antlers I suppose. I'm not a collector type at all but anything I kill with a remotely interesting head I'll keep and clean. Not mounted any of them yet, I just like natural stuff like that. I want to brain tan some deer skins and fur-bearers too, fox and mink. I have an idea of collecting a shit load of heads and skins to eventually one day have a little study f***ing rammed with it all. Oddly I'm not particularly a fan of taxidermy though. I like it, just not in my own house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
