About us

My name is Robert Wilson,

a collector in Edinburgh with a focus on long-term ownership and value. This site, hireplicas.com, is where I record my personal impressions of both classic references and modern replica pieces that UK readers often search for. I focus on honest impressions, clear language and realistic expectations, especially for readers comparing genuine models with high-grade replicas in the UK market. Articles are written in my own time, based on models I have handled, researched or closely followed, so that readers can make more confident choices.
