Talking Look what i did today

Put up three cabinets for my models, look quite good i think,

one for random super cars, one for my escort cosworths and another for my BM's























some are worth a small fortune, especially the cosworths, long out of production and the company who made them ceased trading many years ago!!

some go for well over £100 on ebay, i have many many more, but im afraid reside in the loft
what do you guys rekon??

Carlos

Am impressed, they look really good like that.

Ideal for a boys room, along with a greased pole, Carl Swantz's RG500 in a glass cabinet and the biggest collection of chilled vodka's this side of the volga...

Carlos, very impressive. Where did the display cabinets come from? Don't tell me you are a part time cabinet maker too!

PS. I like the new signatures pictures, how do you do that, fancy doing one for me?

Very cool collection there Carlos.
The display cabinets really set them off well.

Maybe an idea to have them facing in random directions and not all the same way. May look more natural - dunno

Collection looks very impressive. I think I may have to do something similar for various collectables that I have.
