We had a number of things in common. He had built two distinct collections. The first, the one closest to his heart, was dedicated to scale models related to the world of public works: cranes, bulldozers, dump trucks, cement mixers... And this at all scales, from simple toys to sophisticated models. He had even created a brand dedicated to reproducing construction equipment, ATM. He didn't hesitate to spend his vacations in the United States taking photos of enormous machines in open-pit quarries. You really grasped their size when the driver was in the photos, standing at the foot of the machine. He also wrote articles for Charges-Utiles under a pseudonym. A true enthusiast! In parallel, during the 1970s, he also began another collection related to the history of miniature car and truck production in the equivalent 1/43 scale, whether industrial or artisanal. For this second branch, he set himself what I would call financial limits. In short, he seized opportunities. He bought at the price. The quality, therefore, wasn't always up to the standards that emerged a few years later. The idea was to preserve a record, a memory of these miniature reproductions. In this collection, rare, brand-new Lego trucks in their boxes sat alongside Dinky Toys wrecks, Devos models never removed from their boxes, and C-I-J conversions that had just been started and were abandoned. A veritable hodgepodge.
