Anthony, Thanks, If you look close I have another B&W picture of Enzo he sent me when I was a kid in the 60's, his autograpgh has almost completely disappeared (maybe he was anticipating ebay :-). I think he changed his felt pen as the later ones seem to last The one in the garage is a 8x10 blowup of the samll autographed phot which is in my dispaly cae and is exposed to light and after 10 years no change. I am running out of room to hang stuff!!! Thats why I have the blonde in the other case as she was trying to take the TR. She is in with the F40 as it is not running, it needs a major, a new whindshield, the alternator light keeps coming on and it has a bad diode in the headlight motor! HA :-) Rob PS If anyone is ever in S. CA give me a call and you are welcome to come check the stuff out! | ||

A really nice display Robert. Just one thing, you seem t ohave left your keys in the door of the 512. It's a silly mistake and we've all done it, but I really think you should be more careful with a car like that. That blonde girl near the F40 might try to steal it!  Love the stuff from Enzo. Keeping it in the garage is probably a good idea as I assume they won't be in sunlight. | ||

Where did you get Enzo with his hand in his pocket? Is that a 1:18 scale figure? | ||

Robert, nice touch on those backgrounds. Where did you get the archs? Is that from a railroad train set or something? Looks very cool. | ||

Stan and all, What I did was get some oak entertainment centers, put mirrors in back, glass doors on front and display lights etc. I apologize as the cars are rather dusty. My wife is pretty cool as she and I divied up the rooms for decorating. If I had more resources there would be lots of marble etc. :-) I have more photos if anyone is interested let me know and I will post them.         | ||

I'm interested in building a custom display case for my 200+ 1/18 scale models. Anyone got any displays they've made? stan |
