Hello Hawk1977,

I agree with everyone; what a cool looking display!! Where did you obtain those unique shelves? Those are bad to the bone!! When you start obtaining twin-engine and four-engine bombers, and larger scales like 1/48th or 1/32nd scales, if you like the larger aircraft, then you'll have aircraft facing all different directions and some on landing gear and some on stands to save space!! When you start collecting armored vehicles/tanks/self-propelled guns (notice the key word here: WHEN!! ), it will be much easier to cram everything onto shelves, even with larger, 1/32nd scale tanks, because they all have a similiar shape and some come in plexiglass cases (the 1/72nd scale armor-you can stack these to save a ton of space). I still have space on shelves for ALL scales of armor, but I have officially run out of space for 1/32nd and 1/48th scale aircraft!!

Very impressive display. It has definately given me some ideas.

I got the cases at Hobby Lobby. They are 15 1/2" x 7" x 6". You can also pick them up from this website. ProTech Die Cast Supplies - 1/64, 1/32, 1/24, and 1/18 scale

I will most likely start collecting larger scale soon. I like to stick with one manufacturer, so I have to find one I really like with a large variety of aircraft in the same scale.

I took some more photos last night, from different angles. I'll upload them tomorrow.
