Collecting the Space Age with Peter Kleeman

When it comes to gift giving, even Santa might have a hard time topping what Peter Kleeman got from his dad for his fourth birthday. It was a handmade 2.4 meter long X-Wing Fighter inspired by Luke Skywalker. That Rebel Alliance Starfighter launched what would become a family obsession, collecting and preserving space age artefacts. From Buck Rogers toy guns to flying saucers, their collection is in a 100 year old barn in a secret location. Peter Kleeman describes getting that X-Wing fighter, and the museum itself.
