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? :D :D

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.

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

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.

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 :wink:

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.

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?).

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... :lol:

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. :twisted:

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.
