Does anybody use 'Do Not Touch' signs?

lol, Gary

I grew up as the oldest of six kids, on a farm. After years of dealing with that, I had kids, after they got through the "don't break Dad's models phase",,,,,they moved off and we got a cat.

So, after decades of having models broken now and then,,,,,I am pretty relaxed about it now. I put them behind glass, show them to people that ask,,and if something gets broken, I just either fix it or build a replacement. I also have only had 2 models broken in the last 10 years,,,,,,one of them by the lovely Miss Anne herself. (she doesn't open the glass doors anymore, lol)

This hobby is play for me,,,,,,,,,I treat it just as if my Stoney Mason's helmet and cover won't fit anymore because they had been on and off so often that they were a different size than when they were new. (Stoney Mason was a GI Joe competitor back when Joe was still able to wear Ken clothes)

Mine are behind glass doors on the display shelves. If one of the 2 or 3 people per year that look at them and asks a question wants a closer look, I open the doors and pick the model out of there. Then after asking them to please be careful, I hand it to them.

My models live behind glass doors too, but I would never hand one to a friend or anyone else whom I knew not to be a model builder.  You are a braver man than me Rex!

I have never had the dreaded "Zoom and Brrrrryyyybbbbberrrrrrr" person, but, I do the noises for a laugh when I put the model away. The prop noise is especially effective when I do it with a jet.

I have mine in glass display cases,so unless they slide the door open,they ain't touching.

I think your idea is okay-if they read the sign that is.
