PICS - Phil, are you talking about the large 1:8 scale? That's a Porsche 996 by Pocher.

The Porsche was the impetus to my Minipl8s license plate business that I created.

Thanks for the reply Marlowe. At 200 pounds each, they should help stabilize your home in an earthquake. Hard to see but is the height of the glass shelves adjustable? I really like your cabinets because they allow for various length models. Oh, and by the way...great collection.

Auh, who's exercise bike? I know it's NOT yours Marlowe!

LOL! Great, clean displays though. Gotta love those glass doors!

That's a treadmill you see but I don't use it that often. That's my wife's choice I hit...

... my elliptical most often. Of course, that's when I hoist my lard butt on the machine and power through.

Definitely! I specifically asked that all debts be left to you. Expect to hear from...

... my Successor Trustee sometime in the future.

Bob, here's the site where I purchased the cases. You should browse around as they...

... carry a broad variety.

TOO FUNNY! I was half-asleep when I posted. Yes, treadmill. I did notice ALL the cars though! LOL

Thanks Marlowe. These cabinets are beautifully made.

Question, do you feel the lighting might be detrimental to your models? I'm thinking in terms of not only the brightness but also the heat? I'm now looking for space to use a couple of these if I get the bosses permission to rearrange some things.

Hey Phil, I think that one's actually a Batchetta. Very, very rare!

😁😂😆
