    Exactly! OTCA collectors Coffee table book of collections mebbe abouyt 5-7 shots of each collection, it would be a very tough call which shot to put in ( with the collectors input of course) but with our number its gonna be a telephone book thick one if we end up putting more pics in hehehe But we can start it by doing that e-book thing until we ( or someone who's the main editor) have fully edit it. This would be fun , we can even do catalogue-like diorama shots if someone doesn't like shooting their whole collection. Coz at times a whole wall shot of a collection doesnt really give as much impact ( prolly coz the figures are tiny in the shots) as dioramas and special focus shots of fave items/figure.

    I wouldn't mind showcasing some of my favourite bits of my collection

    All this sounds promising

    could we do both?
    some of those showcases on sibertron have missing figures and the layout is wrong. only see heads which can be confusing till u clik on it and see the full figure

    Yeah, imagine sitting there, flipping through the pages of the awesome album - 'oh look, there's dirge's collection, and there's my collection, and then liegeprime's and then griffin's, and more of griffin's, and even more of griffin's! '

    Rather than showcasing entire collections, how about showcasing certain highlights from people's collections? The problem with showing entire collections is that most of our collections are constantly in flux. I photograph my collection once a year, but usually after I post the photos, soon afterwards it's already out of date because I've acquired new toys. A few months later I've rearranged things and it looks even more different.

    So perhaps an e-Book might be better cos then people could update their collection pics. But if we were to showcase say certain portions - like say completed portions (that way they're not likely to change anytime soon) then that might be better?

    Just an idea

    hmmm... maybe it can be an OTCA collectors' book. 4 pages to each member (who wants in). 1 page contains "fan-scannish" info of said member. 2 pages of photos selected by member him/herself. 1 page of the members' photos selected as favourites by other members.
