Model storage

While these are hardly display cases, they are cheap and dustproof.

When I got the house interior painted, I had to move finished models and not get any sanding dust on them.

Had a quick look in the Supermarket, €2 each, so 20 cars safe as houses for 20 quid. No brainer really.

Great idea and I also get to have a peek at some of your builds.

I like the fact you can see them to tell what is in which box too...nice. I like storing them in the right kit boxes because I love the old boxes anyway...makes me smile just to see the old boxes from the past so I kind of collect the old boxes and instructions I like. Now my parts storage is like a clear pull out drawers on a plastic rack or sorts...got them at Wal-Mart....they can be added to or removed at any time one wishes.

Most of my pics went missing with the demise of escale Dave. I never got the chance to go back in and save them all.

I suppose I could fix up minor damage, dust them off and take new pics.

Ford Electric Oramge from Halfords, trickery from Al for the ghost flames!

I never had the pleasure of escale so I'm unaware of how big it was. I've always made sure all my files and pictures are stored locally, always done it that way since the days of DOS. I'd like to see more of your work.

I have a few bits and pieces buried somewhere on my previous laptop, I had all the data transferred to a newer one so they must be in this machine somewhere.

Thanks for the interest, I'll see what I can find.
