"Creative ideas to display"........Gee, most of the rest of us are just running out of room. Nothing creative about it
Check out my Webshots if you want to see a jumble of our stuff, and my "display" doesn't include a full tub of other 1/18 and some 1/32 21C. I'm working on more shelf space.

shelves!
I bought cheap shelves from Staples. They are big, light-weight and they are like milk crate so you can hang planes with fishing line.

I wish I could do the ceiling but this is a consolation.

like it.
I like your collection digger. Do I see a late-war, Berlin Panther re-paint there (ala Squadron color palate)?
Just out of curiosity, why did you display your Shermans showing their rear?

I had to make an addition to my office to house my toys. It’s just the size of a large walk in closet but it gets the job done. All the shelves were home made. I just went to h-depot and bought the heavy duty track and hangers. It’s so strong it could hold all the same airplanes even if they were all die cast. I still have some room to grow. On the other side, not pictured is the back of my basement stair case. That’s where I store most of my unopened planes.

Re: like it.
Thanks - yea, that was a Berlin 1945 custom that got started and never finished I guess we all know how that goes.GooglyDoogly wrote:I like your collection digger. Do I see a late-war, Berlin Panther re-paint there (ala Squadron color palate)?

Good question on the Shermans (I don't really know)....I like the motorpool look when I have multiples but I find I'm always turning them all one way or the other just to mix up my display and show the tanks from different angles. Right now all the winter M4s are facing out on another shelf. I guess I should really mount all the tools on the rear of those green ones if they are going to be ass-out.
man..
I forgot how cool your display was!
7 shelves per unit is impressive as well. You really can make a corner go a long way, which I'm always trying to do

Here's my displays. They're nothing really fancy and only some aircraft and vehicles in my collection are seen. The rest are stored and rotated through with the others on display. See the below link for more pictures from my website:

Thanks! WW2Collector's room is what I hope to aspire to one day - or then there is the giant diorama idea. There is this German neighbor of my cousins (in San Diego, Ca) who had his whole living room filled with a giant G-scale LGB train setup! Recently, I was thinking how cool a similar sized WWII diorama would be

One of the guys on a 1/6 board wants to constuct a replica of the famous Berlin Zoo Flak Tower in his backyard. Now thats what I call a display.
He says his yard is small but he can fit in the Flak Tower rather nicely. With the newly released Dragon 1/6 German 20mm guns ringing the corners, it should be nice, maybe a few Borfors 40mm or an 88mm Flak.
Gotta love 1/6 guys. No stinken corner or basement or nice neat den for them

Pic posting
I know this has come up before but for those of us who are internet challenged: How do you post a picture on a reply? I've got some interesting photos to share...

Re: Pic posting
It depends on where the photo is now - who is hosting it. If you only have it on your computer then you need to put it in a public album like webshots.com if you got to webshots you could set up a free account and put your photos there.nathanita wrote:I know this has come up before but for those of us who are internet challenged: How do you post a picture on a reply?

Then the easiest option is to copy the address bar on the page with the photo, and then paste that address here for all to click on. It will get yellow and become "a link." Be sure you are not logged into webshots when you copy the address or nobody else will be able to view that page.
To get the photo into the reply you would do the same above and then highlight the address line and click the Img* button. This does not work for webshots but in general this will allow the photo to appear right here. Use the "preview" feature to see if your image appears. Sounds like a pain but do it for the team!

That display is absolutely beautiful. Simple, yet the lighting makes it dramatic...and shows each model really well. Can you post some more pics of your collection???
Here you go. I had to use the flash, without it, they did'nt show up that good from the distance I was at.
My German and Allies( I plan on getting the new P-38)
My land vehicles and Pacific theater
The modern planes and my Iraqi Freedom collection
And finally, the helos. I stuck w/ the Army only, to represent the 160th SOAR "NightStalkers"
