As you know, I completed my 900th model back in February. After some time, I was able to arrange to have all 900 of them placed on display at our local Knights of Columbus/St. Crispin's Irregulars hall. These were set up on 8x3 foot tables and numerous pictures were taken; and I kept them up for three days so people could come and see them all. I also edited these pics to be a bit bigger than usual so a little mode detail can be seen.


Without further ado, here are the pictures of the:

The first thing I did was to set up all the German railroad equipment I have. I apologize for the poor quality of this pic, it's the best of all of them:


Image


The the German Army was all set up in front of that. I was experimenting to see if I could get better pics, sometimes it worked out:


Image


Next came the Russians as they were the next largest army in the collection:


Image


In front of them came my US Army and US Marines. The Marines are on the far right:


Image


I then placed my European and Commonwealth armies on the next table:


Image


Finally, I added my Japanese and Middle Eastern armies to the last table:


Image




And now, the entire collection for you to inspect. I apologize for the poor quality of these pics; I did everything I could to get sharper pics using notes everyone gave me the last time I posted my collection:

During this time I also took advantage of the opportunity to update individual armies. You've seen the biggest ones: German, Russian and American armies since they all have their own tables, so here's some specific shots of all my smaller armies for your closer inspection.


We'll start with my British Army:


Image


Here is my Australian Army:


Image


my Canadian Army, everything in front of the flag:


Image


my French Army:


Image


My Italian Army:


Image


My Swedish Army:


Image


and my Polish forces:


Image


Next is my Japanese Army:


Image


Then my Iraqi Army:


Image


My Syrian forces. The tank off to the left is a T-90 from India, I just haven't made a flag for it yet:


Image


And my Egyptian Army:


Image


Finally, here's my Israeli Army:


Image




Just for fun after that I decided to take pics of some of my select groups of models. For instance, these two Sherman tanks with two different rocket launchers on top of their turrets:


Image


Then there's these M109 Paladins:


Image


Here's all my Stryker vehicles all completed:


Image


This is every ambulance and fire truck I have:


Image


And all my civilian vehicles from all countries:


Image



And there it is, my entire collection of 900 small scale vehicles all on one set of tables. Now it's time to get started on the next 100 so I can reach my next milestone.


Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome and I appreciate all your support and compliments.

Mark I am impressed! That is quite the display! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

:hmm: I know it took quite some time to set them all up, but how much dusting did you have to do, and how long did it take? :shocked:
