I have a few more coming as well

^is that the Detolf unit from Ikea? How did you add shelves and where can I find the glass if you don't mind my asking?

+1

it is the Detolf case....well the glass shell and supports...the base and top i built myself...still have to fix the grooves as my cutting skills were a bit weak....and install a mirror on the base...and maybe stain it

The glass shelves I got cut at Michael's...I used their custom framing service (glass is a bit thinner then the standard detolf case glass) i got it cut 11.75"x 15"

I used rope clamps from Home Depot to support the glass (recommended on another website to use these)

Saw everything at Fred Meyer's. A couple at a Target in Burlington or someplace.

good that someone else interested in F1, I never get a display case and All my models are in box, let me take a pic later on

picked this up because it is basically the exact same model as one of my old cars.

Any body that is looking to expand their Ikea Detolf cabinets. I found a place that can cut me a piece of glass for $10. Or anyone found better deals out there?

^if you do it the way I did it....get framing glass cut from michales and use printable coupons from their website i got mine cut for $4.50/piece....

Arts & Crafts | Michaels.com Canada

however the thickness of glass maybe be greater at your place...it has not been a issue for me so far as I have 3 cars on each shelf

hmm last time I ask michaels, they said $100. dunno what they were smoking

This one just came in, sorry for the crappy iphone pic:

Scored this minty AE86 today, anyone with a Hot Wheels Hakosuka want to trade?

krazynuck: those are very cool. I think I might have to get the Red Bull Racing car. Is there an online site you recommend and which manufacture do you prefer.

my dad has been a huge nascar fan for years...say what you want but the sport is actually pretty cool for the barn yard technology it has. an example is the normally aspirated 357 ci v8 engines that just last year became fuel injected running at 9500 rpm with 900 hp. anyway he has over 200 nascar diecast models...and not the cheap ones either. he also has over 250 franklin mint diecast cars. collection is huge!!!

this is my only 1/43 model, been on my office desk for more than 10 years..

anyone who wants to buy Diecast locally, go to Wilkinson's Automobilia. Off Broadway on Ontario. Car, Motorcycle Models, Books, Manuals, Hobby — eAutomobilia they have a decent selection of Japanese cars. also they will order anything you want.

Thanks!

I have a 2012 RedBull Vettel coming in the mail as well in the next week or two....

For brand I prefer Minichamps (this will be your Red Bull or McLaren)...I like the elite hotwheels (Ferrari's)

Wilkinsons (locally)
Ck-Model cars in Germany
Ebay

those are the main places I get my cars

I finally caved in for a display case after constant nagging by Krazynuck

I can't wait till I complete my schumacher collection!
