Falcon Ranchero Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 I haven't much of one; I display my latest three builds at a time on my build table; when the next one is built, the kit displayed at the front end gets booted out and put away in the box, and I shift the cars down the line with the newest one bringing up the rear. BUT because my 1958 Thunerbird wouldn't fit back in the box because it was too shallow for the assembled kit, I picked up a case and displayed it on my desk. I can imagine some of you guys got some big glass cases with hundreds of builds. Curious to see what you got goin' on for your builds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmak Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 I have a built model display and an unbuilt kit storage solution that is also a display of sorts. For built kits I really like display cabinets to keep the models as dust free as possible. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CabDriver Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 Where do you all find these nice lit display cases? IKEA used to make a nice glass display case, but as I understand it they’re discontinued now… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 I just have a couple of glass fronted antique cabinets that I display my finished projects in. One is “desk top” book case. The other is a book case with doors that flip up. At some point, I would like to modify them with more shelving to display more models.

Dwight55 Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 I've bought old display cases of stores either going under or remodeling. After 50 years of building, I'm up to 13 cases that are full to overflowing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 Nothing too crazy. Or very well organized. And I do need to expand, as I'm out of room. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 Real nice displays guys! I like the store cabinets and antique book cases.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyrotten Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 Very nice displays everyone has, the un-built kits in that one picture would probably consume all available space in my house. That's a collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 I am limited to one small room in my house that must hold my stash of 250+ unbuilt kits, my work bench and a soon to be limited display case. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2doors3pedals Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 This is my ex - Montgomery Wards display case, with lighting. I can add shelves as needed. Love it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Brown Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 I recently bought an Ikea Milsbo cabinet for my cars. It looks good and is well built. The only downside is the shelves aren't adjustable. There's room for another shelf, but it would be pretty difficult to install shelf supports in new positions. It would require a lot of drilling and installing riv-nuts for the shelf supports to screw into. My airplane models are in the bonus room in a 72" tall display case I built about 30 years ago. My wife calls it The Monolith. Ben 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanGlover Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 No affiliation, but Carney Display Cases are great! They have several different pre-designed case sizes for 1:24, or they will build custom sizes to your specs (they make them for all kinds of collectibles, not just model cars). They’re a little pricey, but they are very high quality and look great! I have one of their “NASCAR 1:24” cases, and another I custom designed to fit taller trucks and SUVs. Both are almost full so I will need another soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what's the OC spacing? 12" on center I joists with 1x4s attached to the bottoms of the I-joists. May of the kits fit snug in between the joists. Some Revell and Monogram boxes are just a little oversize and don't fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
