B24AT6 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I started a topic in this section for my helmet collection, but I decided to add more general collection pictures to their own topic. What you see is only half of the collection, the other half is packed in ALL the crates, tubs and containers you see in the pictures. As time goes on, I'll try to get pictures looking into all the different containers and bins. I hope you enjoy!
