Hoolydooly thats a beautiful collection Botanika.
Coincidently I was looking at some Warmoth necks just this morning as mine is a bit to thin for my large, double jointed hands.

That scolloped neck is pretty sweet, hows it feel to play?

This is my baby.

Thanks mate.
They are a few shots I took the day I got it so not very clear but you can see a bit of the unique grain on this puppy. At first I would have prefered it didnt have the knots in the wood but after some time I lke it, makes it look more like it came from a tree and almost like natures template for the output jack hole :)

In hindsight I kind of wish I got a Tele or a Tokai LP but you know how it is, the grass is always greener and all that but this is a sweet guitfiddle and Strats do look nicer than Tele's :)

After doing lots of research of OD, boost and compressor pedals the last couple of weeks I can see that I will probabaly have another collection going on soon.

It's a JYM strat (malmsteen). Really deep scallops. Great for string bending and heavy vibrato!

Nice strat Andy!

It's unlikely to be a surprise to anyone that I have a thing for hot chicks made out of plastic... :blush:

So I've recently gotten into collecting these bishoujo figures. I'm going to have to try to avoid building up a whole collection of these, because they're fairly exxy. It's also difficult to find ones that really mean something to me because I'm not really into anime or visual novels, which is where most of the characters used are from. I have a couple of other ones, but this is the first one that I really love. Firstly because she's from a game that I love (Soul Calibur) and also because she's a good size (~30cm) and really nicely sculpted and painted.

Now, if only they made a decent Sophitia figure ... :drool2:

since today, I have a collection, as "two" makes a collection.

I fashioned a nulla nulla out of xanthorrhoea wood today,

I think it's authentic, anyway, here a pic of my two diy war clubs.

So the postie came today :)

Can't manage to take a pic that really captures her look, but this is the best I could get (possibly NSFW):

awesome thread

 

I never considered myself a collector, well I am not of the die-hard type. 

 

last ones are:

beach stones and rocks

ephedra species (got 10 or so) 

 

Αlso of importance to mine are classic home keyboards, some are kid-keyboards of the time, from mostly 1978-1992. Got an EKO TIGER full analogue from 1969, a Hohner (ORLA KX400) with hammond emulator from 1992, the classic Yamaha DJX-1 from 1997 and many more. Love semi-analogue and cheese 8-bit sounds so I regard them as instruments, not a collection, yet IT IS a good collection of very famous pieces of history. 

 

Also

beer cans and bottles (one of each brand) 

little cat statues (no matter the material)

phases interspersed by homelessness and backstabbery

 

'used to collect guitars, amps, bass guitars, keyboards, mics,...and rock/metal music until about age 16.. , then i tried collecting band memorabilia from gigs like ticket stubs, slash's snakepit's drumsticks, and a broke guitar string that happened to have slash's hair on it so that i could clone him in my secret laborato... ahem ..., and one of his guitar picks..

but they were the only band that really shared with the crowd.. except machine head..

so I had a can of redstripe beer from robb flynn and they signed my albums..

then 

'collected bonsai subjects from scrubland since about age 19.. , 

'collected transformers for the kids since age 24.. ,

'used to collect fishing tackle and rare comics until about age 26.. ,

'collected poisonous plants or their whereabouts since age 27.. ,

'collected wild mushrooms from about age 28.. ,  

'used to collect aquaria and thus aquatic plants for aquascaping, also L-number plecs until about age 31.. ,

'collected cacti with the kids since age 31..

also collected witchy plants since that age too

'tryna collect rare awesome people to know and associate with currently, ... 

 

'always collected words :3 especially rare or filthy or coloquial (or any combination of these), ... and any foreign swear words i could lay my ears on
