1:18th scale B-25, where would you put it?

Sabrefan · Post by **Sabrefan** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 8:46 pm

With 21st Century giving us the awesome news of the B-25, I started wondering where I would put a model that big. And guess what? I have no idea. I don't hang any of my models from the ceiling, and I can only image how much the B-25 model will weigh. Where would you put yours?

I dont care, I will make space for it, even if it it costs me my TV

No room for it here. I can cram in the Hellcat and that will do it for me and 1:18 aircraft. Can still get some more armor in here though.

My G/F just told me to stick it some where...

I think I will be putting the B-25, SBD, A-1, f-4II in my G/F hobby room...oh boy I dont know if I will live after that.......

I've recently figured out how I am going to display all of my planes, but I ain't telling any of you!!!

Well, at least until it is ready to show to the world. Think air base though, and you might get an idea.

But first, I have to build my house, so in reality we are talking more along the lines of 21st Century Toys development time!!!!

Well, I was going to buy a new umbrella for my deck, but I guess I'll use this instead.

Oddly enough, I am in the process of trying to buy a new house. I've picked one that has a huge room for me to display all sorts of.....things. Its not a matter of where but of how many.

Yeah I bet she did. Maybe you can hang it out in the dog house when she relocates you there.

That will never happen

well if you don't want to hang it from the ceiling you could hang it on the wall. Indeed that may be a very good place to hang it.....should be safe, secure and out of the way.

Thats what I was thinking.

I think I'll put mine on the ceiling and I have just the spot. I tend to rotate my aircraft through and this particular corner in my room has been held by my BBI F-16 for 2 years now and probably 3 by the time the B-25 comes out

The wall of my den has B-25 written all over it. The Avenger, Dauntless with folding wings will be on shelves in the bunker. The den will be only B-25, of course that will be until 21C brings out the Mossie and the Black Widow.

Hey, I'm flexible.

"Dauntless with folding wings"

The Dauntless' wings dont fold

It looks like the planned modern scene upstairs has been preempted by a B-25 with escorts. Although by the time it hits the market, I may just manage to build my quonset hut "hobby shack". Could convert the barn, but I don't want to piss off the bats (plus where would I put my woodshop?).

i am not hanging it any where i just buy it to have it in my colletion 90% my stuff are still box up so... one more big bird would not mind.... yes...

One of the B-25s will hang over my office conference room table. We have a retro war theme with nose art and other stuff so it will be one cool conversation piece / ice breaker.

When it come to 1:18XD I think a good plan is to buy first and make room later!!!! My wife will not agree but she doesn't post here!

I am so excited for the B-25!

Why do I suspect your office is looking a lot like my office? Although my list of manufacturers may be a bit more diverse, but... Lots of aircraft, armor, and artwork.

I think mine will be hanging on the wall like a frame in the living room... but I will have to ask to my wife first...

OK , I have thought long and hard on were to put the B-25 and the boxes they come in . Here is my list.
1. Buy 2 and make a gate.
2. Strap one to the ceiling fan.
3. Motarize one and make a lawn mower .
4. Make a weather vane.
5. Use one as a doorstop.
6. Use one as a booby trap over the door for prowlers (Home Alone)
7. Use one to silence the neigbors dog. Refer to # 3.
8. Put a piece of glass on it to make a coffee table.
9. Use the boxes in your next snow ball fight as a fort.
10. Stack up the boxes and use them as a table to eat on. Yor wife would love this. Hey honey i built you a new table. She will love you forever.

Well, as it goes, I have no where to put it. I have had to abandon the man cave in the garage because my wife and I are looking for a bigger house (she says her clock is ticking--I told her to hit the snooze button). Part of our home shopping has been in trying to find an older home with a large unfinshed basment that I could use for all of my toys. So, hopefully, my home schedule coincides with the 21st, bbi, and AT's production schedules.
