Default My Collecting Knows No Bounds: The Continuing Conquest of a Room

Remember a while ago that I said my expansion had limits and I wasn't going to go beyond the footprint of my existing displays (http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com/...ollection.html)? Well to hell with that!!

I have a new display area which, with four shelves each measuring 90cmx20cm, has enough space for between 60 and 65 models of various sizes. It is by the backdoor so I've had to get creative with the shelf sizes and cut a portion of one side of each so the door can still open wide enough.

There's room for growth too with at least two more shelves fittable below and probably four if I don't mind getting near floor level. I'll try not to let it get to that point!

There's still space elsewhere on my shelves so this new area is for something totally new. What is that - you'll find out soon enough!!

P.S: The models on the shelves are just a test and don't indicate the future occupants.

HMMM...looks nice. I too need shelving, but my shopping for shelves was cut short by Waffle listing collection sale models this AM.

Something totally new...modern era models with a heavy emphasis on "Hello Kitty" and other cartoon themes?

Military models?

An America West section, filled with every theme 757 they ever had?

The suspense is killing me!
