Just for info, I display my models in their box in an out of the way storage cupboard. That way Mrs. GP doesn't try to dust them and the little GP's don't get their sticky mitts on them.
I have my own "hobby room" that others may enter at their peril. Someone let the cat in once and I lost a couple of valuable models (cats have an annoying habit of shoving things off shelves just to hear them crash), so the door stays CLOSED. Mrs Gospodin doesn't go in there on her own, but when she's come to see me for something, she always comments on how many planes there are, and how it looks like they keep multiplying. I quickly change the subject, and ask her if there's anything she'd like me to order for her doll houses, which makes her happy. The dust is at a minimum because of the closed door, and nobody handles these babies uninvited. But I need more room, because the damn things ARE multiplying!
