A muster of minis

A cheek of minis

A melee of minis

A hod of bricks

A mental of minis

Incidentally, it's known as a collective noun. The most often quoted one is a murder of crows.

You'll all have the same surname, why don't you call it that?

Collective nouns tend to try to describe as a collective the nouns that make them up.
A murder of crows,
An abandonment of orphans
Or a bridge of admirals


So I reckon it should be a Tetanus of Minis.

we've actually had this topic before with a poll - 4 years ago!

http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic ... unch+minis

I reckon along Mick's lines - "a corrosion of minis", particularly if it's made up mostly of clubmans

A gathering of old, oil leaking, rusting, slow, noisy, small/cramped, un reliable etc.... OH who said that!

How about a "Collection of the finest Mowogs"
