Outstanding Schrage! Thanks for posting. This gives us all great ideas.

Good idea there SM. Will attempt to incorporate it with my own.Might add, a mighty nice collection.

Hi SM, I like the clock on your photo, guess what, I have the P40 one.

Cool piece of kit, anyone want one just give Phantom a call he has all kinds.

Thank you for the kind words guys, I'm only glad I could lend a little something to the vast wealth of collecting knowledge that is displayed here on a daily basis. The planes in the cabinets represent about 1/2 of my overall collection. All my heavies, and 1:32 scale Corgi as well as Carousel pieces are still hiding in the furnace room, and with the pending move, they won't see the light of day until we relocate. On the brighter side, I've been given the go ahead for a couple more Detolf's to free to boxed pieces. Hope to have some pics of the whole kit and caboodle late this year after we get settled. Although, now that I'm getting my own office, I may have to set up a cabinet at work to keep me company.

I hope to pick up at least two more cabinets before I leave the smoggy south for God's country (aka Northwestern Ontario) in a few months. Believe it or not, we'll be looking for a house with at least one extra room for my collection, which will inivitably expand. Never heard of buying a house around a freakin' model collection before, but why not?? Aren't I a lucky guy?

Here's my two cabinets, I have two more shelves to put in, but with the upcoming move, I'll wait until we relocate. I'll make sure I have all my supplies and shelves before hand though, don't know what kind of access to glass and such I'll have come the fall. I only put one shelf extra between the welded shelves, but you could easily put two more shelves in and still display 1:72 scale WWII fighters on their stands (which I prefer). My wife thought it would look too cluttered with two extra, but I may still try it yet.

The Detolfs are only one part of my display cabinets. Currently I only display four 1/48 scale models per Detolf. This is more or less a prime example of wasted space. Well, now I need to find some clamps that fit and then I am going to double the amount of shelves.

And I hear you! In my apartment I have one room dedicated to my collection. The only other things in there are my computer and some files.

Hm, I'll have to allocate some time for that little project next weekend. When I am done I'll post some pics...

Cheers,
AA

I don't know if this has already been touched yet but I'm thinking about driving up to IKEA to pick up a couple planes mainly for my 1:48th stuff. Does anyone know if an 1:48 F-4 will fit in there and if so does anyone have pics?

I can fit three on landing gear and four or more if some are on stands.

Where did you get that Graf clock Schrage
?

Hey Tyler,

check my collection on the forum. There you'll find pics with F-4s in detolfs.

Tyler, i have a friend that has the Detolf and he only has one 1:48 Phantom on each shelf.
It does look nice too.
