Hello fellow modelers & collectors !
My name is Rok aka Biggie. Been building plastic model kits of airplanes and military vehicles (mostly tanks) in the past. A few years of modelling pause has followed. Many of you know how it works with the hobby going ON and OFF, huh.
So when model making was in OFF mode I became very passionate about collecting diecast model cars mainly in scale 1:18 and 1:24 of brands Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, Smart and UNIMOG. More than 3500 models and toys from around the world are currently part of
Mercedes collection, not counting other brands (like Pagani, Lamborghini etc.) of model cars.
Back to story: So from a few hundred non assembled model kits of airplanes (majority of them in 1:72 & russian aviation) and other military related stuff (1/35) i slowly started to collect even Mercedes-Benz plastic model kits ( I said to myself many times I will not collect plastic Benzes) no matter the scale but then again most are in 1:24.
So here I am & hopefully will start on a plastic project soon. I have done some
custom diecast model cars in the meantime (much harder to work on ZAMAK / diecast cars especially when converting from coupe to cabriolet for example - Dremel tool suffers a lot :lol: ).
Other hobbies would be; model railways (HO +
N + G/Maxi scale), radio controlled cars, jeeps, trucks, busses, tanks, ships, planes, helicopters, hovercrafts and must mention also one submarine. No rockets at the moment :P ooow and stamp collecting from time to time (only TRAIN stamps will do the magic).
Also very active member in 1:1 automotive world scene (president of
Mercedes-Benz club Slovenia :wub: ) and leading & developing online info portal and forum
Mercedes-Benz Slovenija ( I love IT and SEO).
At the moment I am collecting DeAgostinis Legendary cars series (
Legendarni avtomobili in Slovenian), will post some pictures of the collection soon. Do I need to mention my happines when they issue a magazine with Mercedes-Benz model - it brings a huge smile on my face!
If you have any questions just ask,
Sending you all warm regards from Slovenia.
Take care & happy modelling!
