Part 01
Well here we go then
I plan to split this up in two parts, since there is so much to post!
;D
Keeping it short is normally my main objective, but this time it will be a lot longer I reckon rofl! ;D ;D ;D
Well this is how it all began:
Back in 1976 when I was born my first dinosaur well was not a dinosaur to some point it was this 1976 Dimetrodon from the brand Imperial:
As you see it's dated 1976, my birth year xDD You will have to click to enlarge it,to see 1976 printed under the Imperial Logo
It was probably given to me at birth, I truly can't remember but yeah it probably triggered my future to collect dinosaurs, I also was given a big rubber snake my mother told me, but even that is all way too vague. to even remember hehe
From 1980 to about 1995 I collected Chinasaurs & Dinosaurs alike, ya know them everyday rubber and plastic dinosaurs you could buy all over the place, not only dino's but also the odd looking dragons, monsters, snakes, lizards, crocs, snakes, rats, mammals, sharks and gators! You name it, ghost busters toys it all added up to these four boxes:
Which I have sold off one to someone from Dinosaur Toy Forum and the other three to my Sister for her 6 year old son
Box One:
Box Two:
Box Three:
Box Four:
Here my updated Dino-Riders cabinet display with the newly added Crystals and minerals; which I use as reference on how I will show what is in it 8)
Top Rows:
Centre Rows:
Bottom Rows:
Entire Display:
As you can see my oldest prehistoric reptile, the 1976 Imperial Dimetrodon can also be seen in that collection, and it still gives me many good memories.
Around 1989 when I had a lot of Dino-Riders and many of these Chinasaurs, my Karate Shihan Sir Alan Burdett organized an interview of me and my Dino collection in the Bunbury Mail, which was the biggest Dino collection known in Western Australia of that time, I had 286 Dino's then and yeah I have a picture of this day too:
And nowadays I collect models from CollectA, Schleich, Papao, Kaiyodo, Colorata and Carnegie/Safari Ltd, these models are very accurate and good Dino models are finally easy to find these days.
AS Growing and taking care of Orchids, I also made a display here or some call a Diorama, well it's not a real diorama but that large Amethyst which I bought @ Grottes Du tarn in France is the center of everything and it lured all my Steggies and that Spino also:
So here the entire Steggies, Minerals & Orchids display

"Ever since man first left his cave and met a stranger with a different language and a new way of looking at things, the human race has had a dream; to kill him, so we don't have to learn his language or his new way of looking at things." Zapp Brannigan (Beast With a Billion Backs)
As these Orchids go I have ahd these for about 6 years now, they use the same treatment like every other orchid I have, once per week I give them a bath and shower their leaves clean from dust particles which can choke them if not removed in time, their flowers also smell like roses about 48 hours after they have opened, this is my most unique Orchid I have I think.
