In the Library, Bob has one of the rare 1/32 scale Figarti HMS Victory models on display which he bought sight unseen. I believe that only ten of these were made.
I am in total awe....wonderful!! Thank you for sharing!!

Now for something completely different, Bob's two bathrooms are unique, to say the least. One is done in a Roman motif and the other in a Czarist Russian motif. I hope you get a kick out of them.
Just unbelievable. All that huge collction and so tastefully displayed. The HMS Victory is magnificent. I would like to get a closer look at the Handley Page Bomber I spied hanging from the ceiling.:wink2: -- Al
Flying? Frequent flyer miles? Last time I was on a plane, it had propellers (just a slight stretching of the truth). It has been 45 years since I have flown (the one time in my life) and I have never been west of Mobile, Alabama. Not a big traveller. But I do appreciate the invitation. Your outstanding pictures are my trip.:wink2: ^&grin -- AlAl,
It is hard to believe, but the fact that it is tastefully displayed makes it even better than it would be otherwise. Sorry, I don't have any other photos of the Handley Page bomber. However, Bob holds this open house once a year on the first weekend of November. You and any other Forum members are welcome to attend. You can make it a toy soldier weekend by including a visit to the Hall's Sierra Toy Soldier shop in Los Gatos, too. Southwest Airlines has very reasonable weekend fares to San Jose or you could use your frequent flyer miles and come out and see his collection for yourself. When flying, in the past, I have stayed at the Marriott's Fairfield Inn near the airport for as little as $59 a night. You don't even have to rent a car, since they have a free shuttle. So...what's keeping you?
