    Lovely collection there.
    One idea though..
    Have a Centerpiece model. I have one in mine (1/12th Enzo) and collect all the other cars around it. In my office is where all this is.
    Just a thought! But nice collection!

    Thanks for the nice comments!

    I love my collection - it brings me great joy! Any my newborn baby boy seems to love the race cars!

    We are a dealer for most brands, so my collection grows monthly! ;^) (Shhh - don't tell the wife!)

    I do have the 1/12th enzo. I also have the 1/12 f40 and f50 coming. At that time, I will add a display specifically for those three.

    I need to add some glass shelves and lighting to one of the existing ones as well. The others are all lit and at night, it looks awesome!

    Thanks

    Brad

    Great display....where did you get those display cases?

    I have a ton of modles and I have yet to find a good way to display them in my office?


    Thanks

    they are all from ikea. I have white only because I started buying this furniture while in college many years ago. I just kept it and added more pieces as needed. Now I would buy one of the other colors they have - they now have like 5 or 6 options. It is the Billy line. Very affordable and sturdy.

    the glass cases the 1/43rd's are in are no discontinued. ;^(

    Thanks

    those are the autoart cases, which we sell also. They are nice, but smaller and not as "finished" looking as I like.

    Thanks

    DVD shelves work very well for diecasts smaller than 1:18. less depth, less space between shelves = more shelves in same amount of space.

    Brad, your collection looks great.
