Talking Labeling The Models In Your Collection

I made up my mind a while ago that I've killed way too many brain cells, to be able to tell someone for the majority of my models exactly where or what unit a particular aircraft or tank was used. Heck, lots of the time I can't even identify the model's manufacturer. Yes I know some models come with a card that supplies some of that information, most don't. So, I bought a Business Card size heat laminator. I type up all the information including: model, unit, location, model manufacturer and model item number in Microsoft Word in 12 point bold type size. I make darn sure I mention the aircraft marking codes or numbers and colors on tanks. I use clear business card size heat lamination sheets. I cut them out leaving about 1/8" smaller all around than the clear sheets. I run them through the heat sealer and I then I have nice 2 1/4" x 4" size labels that can be put under aricraft or along side tanks.

Wow, talk about just gettin’ up and doin’ it!!! Sounds great, dboulais.

If you can, shoot us a couple of pics, OK? Love to see what that looks like.
 

It is never too late to be what you might have been.
