Here is a link to the picture directory for my home display. I need more space and buildings and tanks and humvees, and figures. Heck who am I kidding I need it all!

An evening walk to Blockbuster led to the best addition to my display. I saw a hardware store had thrown out a ton of their fixtures right in front and I snagged this small retail rack from the heap:

I always wanted to display my figures like in the store and now I can 8)
Problem is now I'm hooked - I want more :D Remember when you were a kid at TRU and the rows of figures never seemed to end? I'm chasing the dragon... :P

I love your modern stuff. I can see how you are long suffering with your focus on VN & Modern. Hang in there. :wink:

Nice Digger. I want to know how you got that rack home on the bus?
And if you rode the bus home, did anyone comment on your "nice rack"??

Sorry :oops: too much coffee today...

I wish my display looked as good as some of the one's already pictured, but I thought I might as well show my mess too. I have all my big stuff in my garage where I have a gaming table and stuff for games and miniatures of various scales. Adding this to a small corner (not shown) used as a home office, you can probably see it's really cramped. I hope to one day section off part of my garage as an actual room and put shelves up to display stuff. But here it is now. This is only my 1:18 stuff and a few 1/32 planes. All my 1:32 and smaller (1/72, 15mm, 1/144 and 1/256) stuff in in a big amoir inside the house. The amoir closes so It just looks like a piece of furniture in the living room. Oh, I also have a glass display case in the living room full of Warhammer Fantasy armies. Before you think "white trash" know that my wife has given me exactly one week to find a place in the garage for that too. What to do, what to do....
