Diecast Display for the masses-39 of my cars.

A few months ago I discussed the idea of displaying my diecasts at the library with my mother, who runs the a group that organizes concerts and things. Today I finally setup the display with a grand total of 39 cars (almost my entire collection). They'll be on display in the library for about a month which means I won't be making but a few updates to OA. For now though enjoy some of the pics of the display:









I printed out labels for each car listing its maker and what mods I did to it. I'm very pleased to be "recognized" by the library. Let me know what you guys think about the display.

that was pretty cool of you to do that... i'm a little protective of my diecasts... i'd want armed guards next to the display cases...lol

That's cool and all, but I'd fear someone stealing them.

I'm not too worried about people stealing them since the cases have locks on them.
