How many ?.............

Hey to all,

I don't recall anyone asking this question before or at least recently so I'm going to. How many models do you have in your collection? Are they all on display and if so how do you display them? For myself I have 52 on display. Eighteen are armour, the rest are WWII aircraft. All but three are 1/48th scale. There's two 1/144th's and one 1/32nd.  I display them on shelves that line my basement walls. I bought the metal shelving strips and brackets at Lowes Home Improvement. They're the type that are adjustable, kinda like the ones you see along the walls in retail shops. They have rectangle holes thruout the length of the mounting strips for the brackets. You can position the brackets anywhere along the metal strips. I like that because you can continually adjust the shelves as the collection grows. I use plexiglass for the shelves with strips of pine underneath to help to keep the 'glass from sagging. I also have resessed floodlamps (track lights) all along the walls so you can see everything well. The 'glass shelves allow the light to shine all the way thru to the bottom one. I tried wooden shelves to begin with but the light couldn't get to anything below the top one. Couldn't see the bottom rows very good so I switched to 'glass. Big improvement. What say all? What's in your collections?
