Re: How do you display yours?

I have three custom made wooden shelves about 5 feet long. I need my father to make some more. And a few corner ones too.

Re: How do you display yours?

Mine are sitting on glass a shelf which are hanging over my bed. each self is 36 in long by 10 in deep hanging from industial looking mounts of steel cable. The other two shelves aren't up yet because the would be empty. I can see the undercarriages from my bed. The 1/35 transports are on a three foot long diarama which takes up the top tier of my desk (but looks horrible). The 1/35 armor is on the work surface of the desk, but i am considering moving it to the diarama.
I'll take pictures if anyone wants any, but i am too lazy and it's too dark now.

Well got around to taking pics of were my models are displayed. This in my room. The shelves are made out of Oak. They were done by my father. Then some are on the stereo. And on the dresser.





And yes that is my bear. Don't make fun of it.

This is how I display mine. Up to now its just 4 of them, but the Miura SV will follow soon and spend his life in my home hanging around

The first shows an attempt, if the models stay on their floors while hanging, thats why the F40 is without the body.



The final wall:

Re: How do you display yours?

I just keep them in the AMT Plastic cases in the basement. My wife won't let me display them until I get a better (read: more expensive) way to display them. I'd rather take the money and buy more supplies!!
