That's a great idea, Max. YesIdea I'll check back here for pictures.

Maybe the B-52 and B-36 can be hung nose down (or up) to fit in the window display or is that what you already had in mind?

That’s great. Our local library does this as well. They’ve had train collections, folk art, and a local fella scratch builds tugboats and fishing trawlers out of wood and other items. Pretty neat.

I'm not quite sure what I've gotten myself into but it's too late now. I've committed to putting most of my model collection on display at our local Library for the month of February. Their monthly shows are varied for any culture, art, collections and exhibits. The area is four glass cases of two sizes. Two 9''H x 30"W x 60"L flat cases and two vertical 65"H x 32"W x 15"D with shelving. There is also an optional window case to the outside entrance. Sadly the 1/72 B-52 and B-36 won't fit in any of the cases. Maybe they can be hung or incorperated in the window display. Lots of measuring and work to do. Tags and graphics are being done by my sweet wife who often humors me.

That's the plan. Stay tuned for further adventures, story and pictures. Wish me luck!

Max
