How do you show your models?

[DonW]

I don't get chance to build models nowadays, too busy trying to restore our old house. I like to have models around but photographing a few recently makes me realise what a great job most of you do in keeping the dust at bay! The lens seems to show more than the naked eye, witness the highly visible fuselage join on the Spit 24!

Nonetheless I love having models around, so here are some random shots of how I have displayed some of mine. One day I look forward to having some proper cabinets but I'm happy enough for now as they are at least visible and people do enjoy seeing them and playing with some of them. Note the Tonka toy General that Amanda's brother used to use as a roller skate - it still rolls!.

I love Starfighters too, I found two 1/72 Frog models years ago one of which was plated in silver so I built them with no markings and painted the other one matt black just to show off the design - 'just look at the shape of that beauty!'

Not sure if this thread is in the right place but I couldn't think where else it fitted.

I keep mine in glass cabinets which are mostly converted gun cabinets and one glass china cabinet. I also have some in cabinets in my garage. Too dusty here to keep them in open display.

If I ever finish one, I'll think about it and get back to you.

Over the years I have bought several glass display cases from stores closing. I also have models in a 100 gal aquarium. some of them I put casters under to make them easier to move around.

I have a large highway diorama to display several of my truck and car models.

And still I don't have enough room.

Yeah, what's happening with the Allison LSR car and the Challenger?

There's some great displays here. I used to hang my 'planes from the ceiling, but I did get tired of just seeing the underneath - and that idea really doesn't work with cars!

Ya Bill, what's up with those models ?

I just have them on shelves in my room. Many.. shelves. lol

Since well before Christmas, I've been moving my home, shop, studio and office from the house I've been in for 15 years to a much smaller place. Fitting everything in has been a royal pain, and the new place was pretty much derelict...took a ton of work to make it habitable. That, coupled with some medical and logistical issues have pretty much stopped me from working on anything else, big cars or little. But the end is in sight, sorta.

Good luck with it, it's hard enough moving from one place to another even if they're the same size. If the new place is smaller and semi-derelict that just adds to the fun...!

Good luck Bill. Looking forward to your building once again. BTW congrats on your sweet built model in the other magazine this month. Love that car.
