The 32-year-old Wu Leyi is a model fan who is uncompromising. His collection of models is dominated by military models. From tanks to warships and aircraft, almost all types of military models are involved. However, his collection is different from other collections. All his collections are not finished products and need to be assembled to form. From love military to love assembling model Yesterday, when the reporter walked into Wu Leyi’s home in Xuesong Avenue, he directly led the reporter into the study. It is not appropriate to say that it is a study, because the bookcase is not a book, but a tank model. Wu Leyi said that his collection of models is dominated by military models, including tanks, warships, aircraft, and artillery. "My love for the military seems to be born." Wu Leyi said that at the age of fifteen or six, he began to subscribe to military magazines. Slowly, he was attracted by the magazine's military assembly model and began to try to buy some simple, cheap assembly models. “This model is more like a children's toy . It is relatively simple to assemble. It usually takes about 10 minutes to complete. Later, I started to buy some assembly models of the production type.†Wu Leyi said that the more he became addicted, he gradually became fascinated by these. "Handsome" guy. Of course, military models are inseparable from military history. Wu Leyi introduced that the aircraft carrier went to the sea, the new fighters went to heaven, and the camouflage clothing had subtle changes. Even the achievements of the countries in the military field and the breakthroughs in the military field were likely to be made into military models. "The military model contains a wealth of historical knowledge. To make a model, we must understand the military knowledge behind the model. I have learned a lot of military knowledge in these years because of playing the model." Wu Leyi said. The work has been recognized by the model master Assembling, polishing, painting, and aging... Every time you complete a model, Wu Leyi will spend half a month or even months. At present, he has more than 1,500 military models in his collection, all of which are assembled by himself. Under Wu Leyi's "lead", his cousin also fell in love with the military model. "But my cousin doesn't work hard. So every time he comes to my house, I will wrap my model. Now, there are more than 80 models in his family, all of them are 'è¹' from me." Wu Leyi said with a smile. . Not only that, Wu Leyi's friends often use the new non-finished model to change his assembled model. What makes Wu Leyi proud is that one of his model works has been recognized by the national model world master Chen Yingming. "This model that was approved by the master is a friend who changed it for me." Wu Leyi said that in 2003, one of his friends took two tank models and changed one of his warships. When he saw that one of the tank models was out of print by a Hong Kong company using foreign modules, Wu Leyi was very excited. Later, he spent a month assembling the tank model, and the friend brought the model to Beijing to participate in the exhibition, which was recognized by the national model world master Chen Yingming. The military model collection is very promising Previously, models were often seen as toys. Today, the model has become a new breed of investment for collectors. In particular, the military model is more optimistic for collectors. Military model collections have mature markets in Europe, America and Japan. In the special auctions of auction houses such as Christie and Phillips, the iron military model produced before the First World War has already shot for $40,000. The metal military model produced after World War II was also sold for $30,000 to $40,000. Even the aircraft and tank models produced in the 1980s and 1990s can be sold for thousands of dollars if they are numbered and good. Although the collection of military models in China is not hot enough, some imported metal models have been sold for hundreds of dollars. Some remote-controlled models, such as the flightable simulation fighter model, have sold for several thousand yuan or even tens of thousands. Some military model collectors are not only for investment, but also for nostalgia and research. Most of them are people who have been soldiers. There is a pilot-born boss who has a house model in the house. Probably based on memories and nostalgia, whether it is a tin toy or a non-proportional arrangement, he bought it back. Later, he accidentally bought a scale model produced in Italy, and read the relevant information, only to know that the aircraft model has a wide range, many standards, and each manufacturer has its own unique style. So he began to specialize in the model of fighter aircraft. After several years of collection and research, he not only collected a very fine model, but also became an aviation expert. Now, in order to attract collectors, some model manufacturers also produce model accessories for assembly, processing and coloring, so that military enthusiasts can use their knowledge to make models. This type of model is very popular among collectors. In order to produce such a model, in addition to testing the author's hands-on ability, it depends on whether he has sufficient military knowledge and little understanding of military history. There must be some creativity in production. Silicone teether toy,Baby teether,Baby teething toy Guangzhou Liben Plastic Industry Co., LTD , https://www.libenbaby.com
