Hi Lance,
Here's where I spend my days  ;)
Each completed model is put, in its display case, on shelving around my cave.
That said, the room taken up those kits I've yet to build is nowhere enough to eventually display them.
I'll probably end up taking down wall hung cupboards and putting up more shelving  ???

Very nice Mike! I'd also like to thank you for taking the effort do document your builds so extensive, and make them available in PDF form on your site as well. :)

What a great modeling space!  This inspires me to get my bench MUCH more organized. ;)

What do you use for the clear display cases?  Do you build those yourself, or are they a market product?  Thanks for sharing these photos.

Best regards,

Bob

Hi Bob,
I have them made by an UK online specialist in acrylic work.

Mike,
    Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to answer my suggestion of photos of your collection on display, I don't know how on earth I missed this reply for this long! As a Moderator here I read every new post almost daily and thus have no excuse for missing this most impressive response. :-[
    Thanks for your efforts both here and in general; as Bob and Jeroen have commented it's most impressive as a "Model Space" and your extra efforts to provide detailed Build Logs via PDF access to your site brings much to our Forum..... Thank you on behalf of the Forum Team for what you do!
   On a much more modest scale I just purchased two IKEA glass front book cases to augment my display capacity; I had recently "hit the wall" and run out of protected space. My productivity is waning markedly of late but I have always striven to protect my Builds from dust and innocent but curious destructive fingers! Your acrylic display cases are impressive, I wish I had access to such a resource at reasonable price on this side of the pond!
   Keep up the great work and all the "very best"!
Cheers,
Lance
