When displaying your models do you????

Just got my new display shelves set up.  7 shelves are 7 feet by 16 inches. 1 is only 5 and half feet since I cracked it

The small shelves are 2 feet by 10 inches

Now I have to really start building to fill them up.

My display area is only 40 inches wide but it is 7 feet from the corner to the pipe.  Long and narrow

That looks great, Johnny!  How much did the glass cost?  I'm planning something similar with 8-10 shelves, each 10x48.

Right now my display cabinet is overflowing... So to be honest I'm using the "what fits where" method.  :(

Colin I got the glass and brackets from a store going out of business. The big shelves cost me $50 the little one at the back $20. I think I got a steal

Great score on those shelves tempestjohnny - I wandered into a "soon to be closing" spot last year in hopes of finding something, all they had left was clothing racks though.

That is a good price for the shelves.  A local glass shop quoted me close to $50 a shelf.  Pretty steep since I want between 8 and 10 of them.  I found them for closer to $10, but then the shipping costs were over $100.  I'm still planning.  Eventually, I would like to designate each shelf for a country.  My focus is 1/48 ww2 fighters,and I have a wall alcove to fill.

Those are great looking display cases, I've been needing to increase my own display space. Have you guys seen this place www.storesupply.com/pc-12824-1268-12w-x-48l-x-316-tempered-glass-shelves-62406.aspx

It's under $10 a shelf for 12"x48".  I calculated the shipping to the East coast, its was $23 for 4 shelves. I've never bought from them before, I had bookmarked them for when I build my display case.

That's not a bad deal

It is a good deal, but they don't ship to Canada.

You might try getting some plexiglass at your local hardware store (Home Depot and Lowes both carry it).  It's pretty easy to cut, more durable than glass, and as long as you're careful and don't scratch it, it should look almost as good.  You might even be able to dip it in future
