How do you display your collections? As I've posted, my collection is primarily 1/24. I display the cars in 1/24 cases from DM and Carney. I've had to squeeze in the 1/43 either in between the smaller 1/24 or display them in their little display cases on top of the 1/24th cases. I need a solution but am running out of wall space. Just wondered how you all display your cars.

Take a walk with me Mr. Sweeney, a picture is worth a thousand words...
I mentioned on 1/43's I am all over the place, but thats true in my entire collection too. I have all scales from 1/87 to 1/4 and think they mix together well. I use individual plastic cases, enclosed shelving units, aquariums doll cases, and even some custom made cases, take a look!
Notice the plexiglass covers over the small shelves
I'm going to stop there but hopefully this will give you some ideas! Couldn't tell you how many times I thought I was out of room, hey I still got the whole ceiling to go!!!

OK! That's it! I just quit collecting....
My new hobby is trying to get adopted by Kevin. I'll bring my entire collection along, Kevin, you can use it as a doorstop. Hey Kevin! Can you give us the size and maker of all those?

Yes John, they are almost all sizes, by almost all makers! I do keep a catalog of every model, the builder and how much I paid for it. I have at least two individual pictures of each model and any sales material I could find.
