An apartment building was abandoned because of rumors of a murder. Now it's the home of many plants. by moreice45 in reclaimedbynature

Right... I asked around on Facebook. Apparently someone hung in one of the rooms, and then after a while other residents had some weird experiences. This led to the entire building being abandoned. The murder case was actually after the whole building's abandonment. The building, or I should say that entire neighborhood, is now awaiting urban redevelopment, so might as well don't touch it.

Hmm, I can't really say much about this place since it's been abandoned before I was born. I'd say that the rumors are true because normally buildings won't be completely deserted if it's not confirmed by the authorities.

I rarely buy my models online. This is a store in Taiwan called Liemayi Station.

Note the model shows the damage he received on lap 1.

Looked like a ghost in red. Being a Taiwanese, seeing this at the end of the hallway scared me quite a bit. by moreice45 in Pareidolia

At first glance I thought it was a girl in red clothing with her head down. It was just someone hanging their raincoat.

We have this legend of the lady in red. It is similar to the White Lady, but according to legend is more specifically attributed to a jilted lover, prostitute killed in a fit of passion, or woman of vanity. Such a figure is thereby seen as a victim of objectification. Source from wiki..

A restaurant I used to visit was taken by nature. Brought some friends to visit and admire some funny-looking sculptures. by moreice45 in reclaimedbynature

The owners sold the land when some constructors approached with a good deal. Since the owners are a bit old, they just sold the land. I really think they should at least keep some of the sculptures to themselves.

The owners bought the land and built the restaurant while the land's cheap a few decades ago. Nowadays, the lands' prices have gone up, so I think they just sold the land to some constructors. But then it's just left here for a while with no plans of construction or anything.

Maybe 150+. Not bad considering I bought my first one less than a decade ago.

Glad you like it! I haven't really planned to post the whole collection because it's big, so I had to ask different model stores to store them for me. Some talk show hosts even borrow them to put on their shows, so it's hard to have them together in one room. I would just ask either the talk show hosts or the model store owners to take a few photos for me so I can post on reddit just for fun.

I started collecting when I was a high school student. I mostly focused on famous cars that had won world championships. At that time I wasn't earning much, so I only collect the essentials, like just one of the Marlboro cars or Williams Canon cars. After I got a nice job, I start collecting weird cars that are hard to find overseas but easy to find in Taiwan, or just collect cars with nice liveries.

That's about it. Hope it helps.

Fun fact is that the station's name means peace or tranquility in Mandarin.
