Misc. models
« on: July 01, 2014, 02:59:47 AM »
Me again.

For those that asked (and anyone else interested too, of course!) I have photographed some other models in my collection.  Most are WNW kits with a couple of Rodens. The Morane Saulnier Type N is a Special Hobby kit.  All WW 1 models are 1/32 scale.  I hope no one minds but I stuck in a couple of pics of a pre-WW II amphibian as well (it's a biplane!).  It's the Classic Airframes 1/48 Supermarine Walrus and like all CA kits, it was a challenge!

Also, ignore any dust you see...

Comments and questions are always welcomed!

Thanks for looking.

Joe

   Beautiful collection Joe; you are certainly no stranger to the Hobby. Looking forward to your contributions here, and to seeing more of your work.
Cheers,

What a gorgeous collection you have there, Joe.  They are all lovely, but I think the Nieuport 28 and the Fee are my favorites.  Really like that LVG, too.  Okay, they're all my favorites.
Cheers,
Bud

What more can I add? This is an amazing collection of superb models built and finished to the highest standards.

One small question - how do you display them all?

Lone modeler, that is an excellent question and one that I was going to pose to you all.  I am running out of room!...and I can't stop building!  Seriously, I have a couple of glass display cabinets but they only hold about 10 models(mostly WW II armor and aircraft).  The rest I have to store in plastic containers up on shelves in the basement.  Some of them are too big (the FE 2B and probably the DH 9A) to fit in the cabinets.    They might live on my work bench for a while until I'm afraid they might get damaged.

So, I'll ask you all...where do you put them all?  And how do you display them?

I picked up 2 Full size Glass display cases when my local Wal Mart was doing away with the locked up cosmetics. That being said, I had a friend once who put a glass door over his closet and built shelves to hold the collection. Ikea also sells some nice display cases. IHTH,
