Show Us What You Got - Your Display


Recommended Posts

That's an impressive display. 👏 

Beyond that, individually your models are stunning. Really well finished. What scale?

 

We remodelled our living room a couple of years ago, and I lost my display shelves. Still trying to figure out a replacement that will work.

Thanks for the compliment.  There are 3 1/32 scale in the cabinet (P-40, P-51, P-47), everything else is 1/48.  If your wife was like mine you could put them in the living room 😁  (I wish)

I have officially run out of room. I built this display case about 30 years ago, and I have to rotate out the older builds when I finish something new. Mostly 1/48, with a 1/32 F-4E and F-100, 1/144 airliners, and 1/25 Indy cars.

I haven't gotten around to building a display case for my 1/24 cars, so they're gathering dust on the corner of my desk. Hunter was just finished and needs to go to the display case.

Sci fi shelf. These will go in whatever display case I eventually build for the cars.

Ben, I see more room in that display case.  Move the shelves a little closer and add a shelf?

Not quite enough overhead with some of the taller tails, unfortunately. I just need to get off my backside and build another case before I run out of room on my desk. 😄

Isn’t it funny as adults we want to build/buy cabinets to display our talents while as kids we couldn’t wait to finish them to take them outside and blow them up with firecrackers and shoot them with our BB guns?  
I think I was around 12 or 13 before I started to display them.

I have 4 Detolf Ikea and I have been adding extra shelves to make them home for atleast 12 1/48 jets each.

How are you adding shelves? I've got some of those cases and could definitely use the extra shelf space in them.

 

Cheers,

Picked this cabinet up about 2 years ago for $50. It had 2 doors on the base unit, which I removed and, I had 2 glass shelves made to fit it. It's getting full so, time to build a bigger one.

Bought extra picture frame glasses from Lowes and had them cut (free) to exact detolf shelf dimension. Next, buy 3d printed Detolf extra brackets from ebay.

Mine. Built 20 plus years ago. Looking in to adding LED light strips at some point.

Last one is over flow in the basement and storage. The case is two sections with the other on the back side of this and its packed full of unbuilt P-38 kits. I'm guessing 70 plus.

IKEA Besta with the glass doors. Unfortunately the doors are out of production and it took me quite some ebay and other searches to track enough of them.

I figure they offer space for 100 models in mixed 72nd and 48th scale. Currently I am at 57, and at my rate of 5/y I should run out of space around 2030.

Mostly 1/48, then some cars, 1/700 fleet and RC stuff all around.

Opposite wall in 1/72. Difficult to light properly, I am in the basement.

 

Blue skies, Andy
