Greetings all;
I was recently asked how I display my models. So at our recent fly-in I shot this. Many are close to the floor so the little folk and 1/3 scale humans - kids can have something to look at too. There are about 107 displayed here with 20 more waiting for nameplates.

beautiful, this makes one dream.
It brings back an old idea.
In the airplane museum in Brussels there are many modles there. But these are completely lost in that huge space in between scale 1/1 airplanes. Also, nobody there knows how to maintain these things and i have witnessed many pearls degrade.
I wonder how many beautiful models get lost every year, because the owner/modeller dies and his family does not know what to do with the collection.
Would a model museum not be a very nice thing?

I have had to repair 3 within a year due volunteers mishandling. Check this 1/32 Fokker D.VII

Really nice idea!
Did you make the cases and boxes? If not are they custom made or off the shelf items?
What are they made of?
Again, really great idea. Thank you for sharing!
