Model Forum / General / Models / December 2003How do you keep your models ?
Hi everyone My wife and I often discuss how other modelbuilders keep their models after finishing them. This Christmas she gave me a wondelfull glass case for my models. But we would both be happy to se some pictures of how others keep the work after finishing it. Nanna & Per I have 4,6 foot glass cases,one with a mirrored back. Some years ago a guy had plans for a 5 ft. cabinet. I got them and had a uncle of mine build it for me. It has 9 shelves of varying height. Eric There is never enough time to do all the nothing you want. Calvin and Hobbs 1990 I just don't tell my wife where they are. Andy > I just don't tell my wife where they are. > > Andy Yes. Most of mine are in the witness protection program.

Or they are sold to the "collectors" at the shows (if I am fortunate). If not, they often find themselve on "permanent loan" to the local hobby shop's display case. (If they were to remain with ME...they will undoubtedly eventually get broken....lol).  SignatureGreg Heilers Registered Linux User #328317 - SlackWare 9.0 my wife would love for me to get rid of them,.our playroom has become the plane- room,.with my so far 175 built models taking up space on 3 book cases,2 shelfs,1 computor desk/bookcase,and tv wall unit,radiator cover, ceiling ,etc. taken over by my1/48th , a/c ,x-planes ,1/40th oop rockets / missiles kits I've a nice glass case for mine, not big enough but then are they ever? For my smaller ship models I use an aquariums turned upseide down. For the big ships, I'll be building a BIG display case I suspect. > Hi everyone > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Nanna & Per Mine are on shelves in the basment, on the mantle in the den. My wife is muttering something behind me. Their on the book cases in the living room. My wife's mutering is getting louder. Their on the chest of drawers in the bed room and in the closet. My wife is muttering "no their not". Im going to go take a look now. See ya later guys. Currently? In boxes, sitting in Mum's garage and Dad's lounge room. Eventually?

I keep mine on book shelf without glass. jw73 www.modelmaniak.republika.pl One tall glass display cast with six shelves houses 22 models. An open front antique Latin American breakfront family heirloom (my work area is the matching dining room table houses a combination of aviation memorabilia, Disney aircraft-oriented stuff, Peter Pan stuff and seven models. Five are quake waxed on the top shelf, a Corgi S.61 Marine One in open display and a Roden PKZ-2 in a plastic display box from The Container Store. That thing would be almost as much of a nightmare to clean as it was to build and rig. Oh, the office also has a computer armoir that is planned as a model work space but currently houses a dozen started projects and some modeling and aircraft books that get the most use. The rest of the MAI Library takes up both side walls of the garage, 2/3 of the rear wall and a large rolling book case (compliments of the dump behind Borders).

Yes, they get dusty, but not nearly as dirty as they used to in the previous basement.

Well......I build mostly 1/26,26 scale cars and trucks and have them all displayed in display cases. Some on my desk...one on the tv....one on each of my stereo speakers. I do have 2 big shelves hanging in my room with the USS New Jersey on one and the American LaFrance Snorkel on the another. I also have a 3 shelf stereo rack sitting next to my modeling workbench with a couple of models on it. I also store some in boxes and rotate them every now and again. Mangry |
