The Archive of Childhood Worlds ::
Pete’s Private Collection

Creativity never grows in a vacuum. Every creative person carries small obsessions, quiet passions that shape the way they see the world. I am no exception. My imagination was not formed solely by the stories I read when I was young, although books like The Lord of the Rings, The Belgariad, The Dragonlance Saga, The Shannara Trilogy, and The Riftwar Saga were early companions. It grew from comics, from games, and from the strange, wonderful artifacts that sparked entire worlds in my mind long before I learned to build my own.

This section is a small doorway into that part of me, the collector who has spent decades gathering pieces of the universes that raised him. Games, miniatures, toys, heirlooms, and curious relics that each carry their own quiet history.

Over time, this page will be updated with a catalogue of the collections I’ve kept close throughout the years, including:

Games Workshop, Warhammer 40,000 – Rogue Trader and 2nd Edition, comprising a massive (estimated) 40,000-point collection across Space Marines, Imperial Guard, Squats, Eldar, Orks, Sisters of Battle and Chaos
Games Workshop, Epic 40,000 – covering the same armies above (except Squats)
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Forgotten Realms, 2nd Edition – almost the entire published range, approximately 95 percent complete
Comics from the 1980s to the late 1990s
Toys and Board Games
Other Personal Curiosities

This space will grow gradually whenever time permits. For now, it stands as an introduction to the passions that shaped me, long before films, music, or work ever entered the picture.
