Brucer, I am so very sorry for you. In the past I put all my models in cases or cabinets, but with my last big bunch of sailing ships, they are all on shelves. We are thankfully very old & have no grandchildren close by & they are all grown. Only 1 old fat cat, who is no trouble.
I have over 150 1/48 fighter planes all highly detailed & in glass cases. 7 or more wood ship models ,in cases & 160 cars of all types in cases Right now I have at least 20 sailing ships & more WW2 ships.
You think you can fix it?
