Love it when you have a collecting direction. And what a beautiful display you have there!
How do you display your collection?

This is excellent! Don't want to know how much these cases were though lol.
Exactly right! Unless you hang them from the top of the ceiling or something lol xd

Detolf showcases are actually fairly priced at $99. Adding the extra shelves can quickly increase the cost, especially if you do it right (good quality glass). But for the amount of models you can fit in, and how good they look it’s not outrageous.

Very Nice! Is that cabinet hanging above the ground or sitting on something?

That’s absolutely correct! For me the two cases actually cost me only $79 each, but after buying all the extra glass shelving plus the wire rope clips that support each glass pane, each case came out to approximately $200.
Not bad at all. I wouldn't mind paying that for those good selves. Hope you have enjoyed them.

I suppose this also counts as a way to display your collection. The desktop view of the model gallery and its rudimentary search engine on my site: www.yankeevictor400.com/gallery. My collection is relatively small, and I only have pictures of about a third of my models on the site, but If you are looking for good photos of a particular model, check it out, there might be some there.

I usually keep mine on a shelf next to my airport, or on my airport

True, the bottom shelf should have been censored for this part of the forum

Grrrrr! What scale are those big A320's though? They look like they could take up a quarter of the size of my arm!True, the bottom shelf should have been censored for this part of the forum

I display the bulk of my models in a wooden cabinet (currently holds about 75+ models but currently looking for more shelves to display 90-100+ widebodies), but I pulled out a smaller display cabinet for my 1:400 A380 collection.

Here's my collection display.
I'm moving to an apartment very soon, and I plan to have bigger display cabinets in a near future.

Great display, Leo! I remember the exact cabinets you used all the way when Willy White Snowflake - my inspiration - was still active. And wow what an awesome diorama you have there! The grass feels so real! What is the current dimension of your diorama?

haha yes my friend, these cabinets are the same ones when I had my 1:500 collection and WWH airport! Good old days!
About the diorama: thank you! It's not 100% complete, that's why I still haven't posted anything about it.
If I remember well, here are the dimensions: 136cm x 90cm

Really look forward to see the final result and I am certain that it would be truly stunning, per usual!haha yes my friend, these cabinets are the same ones when I had my 1:500 collection and WWH airport! Good old days!

P/s: thank you all for your posts, which had me revisit this thread and my old post and wow, much of my cabinet have changed during the course of last 10 months! I extended the display of 1:400 models to all levels which are available, minor changes to the zoning of each level in order to accommodate more arrivals. Welp, by now my cabinet has some free unused space, which might be filled up soon thanks to the year-end promotions!
