Ditto...I display all that I have...and find no sense, purpose, or enjoyment in storing stuff away. So about 2 years ago I decided to adopt the attitude that a less is better approach...I call it the 'Jerry Maguire' approach...fewer planes. I started evaluating the collection as a whole, refining it, evaluating everything from mould quality, choice of scheme, recognition among collectors, to personnel interest...in pursuit of more accurate modeling features and characteristics. It's a blend that I have going across various scales and manufacturers, but I feel this more discriminating approach to collecting is having far better results than just buying and scooping things up without thinking about what I am buying. You would not go into buying a piece of real estate, a car, or stock without doing some research, and on the latter, it allways wise to diversify. I encourage the same approach to this hobby...keep a real open mind and consider the vast array of manufacturers (even those that are not commonly mentioned) out there. It keeps things fresh and may open up a new portal not previously thought of.
