And the Wenger Blackout and Titanium lines are really cool!

No surprise to many I'm sureBut I collect the 130mm Wenger RangersI specifically went after the Ranger models because the production run was only a couple of years compared to the more traditional 85mm which has spanned decades.However, due to Wenger creating sets which combined both 130mm Rangers and 85mm I.e Mike Horn, Alinghi, Scouts, Patagonia etc etc not to mention the Evowoods, Realwoods, Snows, Blazes....it has certainly kept me on my toes.This is the only picture I currently have of my Rangers, it's not recent as there are possibly 2 dozen Rangers missing from the shot that were added later.

Those Rangers are really quite nice. Wonderful collection Tosh.
To answer my own question, I do have a couple of themes in my collection.Last but not least I collect models that were issued to the Swiss Army (mainly 111mm).In the past I used to collect the 111mm military issued models from all over the world, but that became too expensive. So I decided to focus on Swiss issues only, sold most the others and used the money to focus on the other parts of the collection.
