I use invisibly mounted glass/metal shelves from Ikea (varying lengths of this product: LINJAL Glass shelf - clear glass - IKEA) that are fairly shallow and keep the models in their boxes... but that obviously doesn't work for the Signature AA models since they come in those shitty black paper boxes. Also, these suckers weigh a lot more than you'd think collectively, so I have had the horrifying experience of a shelf that I guess I didn't hit any studs with when mounting it originally collapse and dump like 50+ models onto the hardwood... all of them in boxes, but I still lost a few clear cases and broke the mirror off a F355... although most of the damage was to my shorts being woken up from 50+ models and a glass shelf shattering into the ground at 4am in the morning hahaha |
The glass display at wilkinsons is so nice, wonder how much it was and if they'd ever sell it
