What do you collect?
2 things, Weaponry and Model trains
(Matt didn't have any pics of his trains - Brad)
How long have you been collecting?
Weaponry for about 6 years or so. Trains, since I was 7
What was the hardest item to find in your collection?
Tricky one, for trains, nothing really is too difficult, for weapons. Finding decent Italian ww2 rifles is somewhat tricky.
Any items you want but aren't able to get a hold of?
I think for me, for the trains it was when I completed wiring up my first table, there were no decorations or models, just the track and the table and sitting there with my little control box, it was wondrous. I think that was what really got me into it.
What's your favourite memory of the collection?
When I first got my train set running with a table and models. First crafting thing I had done
What would you say to people thinking of starting a collection?
Do it, regardless of what it is. If it brings you joy and you find it interesting go for it! You are doing the world a service. How do you think museums started!
Why do you keep collecting?
Simply because I enjoy it.
Is there any way your collection would be complete?
No unfortunately with model trains, more are being made yearly and also there is no limit to the amount of designs, rial set ups and time periods you can explore and the same goes for weaponry there are just so many variants around the world.
What's your favourite item?

And finally, If you won the lottery, and could make your perfect item from the series, what would it be and why?
............Why ask me hard questions, for the trains I would make a setup as large as Northlands, for the weaponry......Guh......Start making modular weapons from RWBY.

1823 French Flintlock Dagger, through my own research I believe that this weapon was more likely a collectable or a trinket for the aristocracy rather than a weapon for defence or military action |

Curved dagger believed to be Arabian or Turkish due to lettering on blade |
