Display cases...pics?
I need some ideas for displaying my collection. They have filled and overflowed my entertainment center and are getting too dusty on shelves (bachelors don't dust too often). I would apprecitae some pictures of display cases so I can start planning. I have about 55 1:18 cars, about 10 1:24/1:25 promos or models, 6 1:32 cars, and about 20 1:64 cars.

Alch,
Don't ya wish those 1:18's were as "Affordable" as 1:64ths ? :)
I know when I start adding up dollars, well I probably could have added
another vette to the stable! :eek:
P.S Nice displays!

Tormania, I have a display case almost identicle to yours :cool: I put my 'dirty' #3 on the bottom and put it on the vette trailer. That of course created the need for another display case. :lol:

I have just a little Corvette Collection, they go nicely with my personally signed C5R lithograph by Doug Garrison. It was signed by Ron Fellows, Johnny O'Connell and Gary Pratt at this years 12 Hours of Sebring. :cheers:

Re: Display cases...pics? (Mechanic)
I sold off all my 1/64ths...just couldn't get into them any longer. Too damn many. Saving my space for the 1/32nd and larger now......That alone keeps me at around 150 cars!! I buy the individual display cases at TRU for 5.49 as I buy cars. Need a few more now too...... :seeya

OK, I know it's a small collection but...
Thanks to racer44 for motivating me to take my formative collection of slotcars, display them with my metal sculpture of a 70's era dragster, and buy my first 1:18 diecast to put together in this little display...
