are the coon skin and the bath robe worn together as an ensemble or are these items simply placed together for fashion purpose?

the stand works well, though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With all the 1/32 planes out I made a stand for them.

Now where I had room for 9 1/18 and 10 1/32 planes I have 24 1/18 and 16 1/32 planes and still need more room.

Both the 1:18 and 1:32 aircraft stands look great! I solved part of my 1:32 aircraft storage problem in a similar manner, save that I hung them on a wall.

Well done. Pretty good idea.

Is there any felt or something like that between the hooks and wings to prevent scratches or is it a low traffic area?
