    I have seen individual photos of collectors display of their model collection, but it would be nice to have them all in one thread. (Trying to get some ideas for mine)
    So let's see all your collections!!

    Two, actually. I’ll get the F50 and LaFerrari Aperta eventually. They didn’t make either when I bought tbese. They’re aren’t cheap either. All in time.

    Nah......, you're missing only one, the F50, the Aperta does'nt belong to the "big 5". ;)

    I’ve been on the fence about also getting the Aperta, but I wouldn’t think of the full set complete without it. It’s a very different car from the coupe. Still, it’s the last on the priority list. Next is defiantly the F50. Having said that, I’m in the midst of a restoration right now, so my full focus is elsewhere.

    Thank you Marshal, I am very proud of my collection.
    But the display is changing everytime when I receive a new model, like last month a BBR 375 MM.
    I always want the newest model in the middle..........on eye-level......, ha, ha!! ;)

    Hi All. Some stunning displays going on in here already - wow!! Nice idea for a thread.

    Love those Amalgams (I assume) from Rossocorsa1... such nice display in those custom lit cabinets - nice job! Are you going to add new ones on top, or make a new tower?!

    John - your array of 1:18ths are frankly beyond words ;)

    Here are mine, main collection is squeezed into 2 Ikea cabinets in my hallway. I have a 3rd cabinet like this in the sitting room, a smaller wall hanging cabinet for "lesser quality" models that I don't want to get totally rid of (not yet!) and I just installed some long shelving suitable for 1:18th scale, so I can grow my collection again (but not to Johns' quantity!) :)

    Got a few Kyosho 1:64th stuck to the wall in the stairway too, laid out like they are racing. I did have more going around a corner onto another wall but something on that surface made them keep falling off, so I limited it to those under the Phil Hill panel now :)

    I bought some LED strip lighting and want to fit it to the 2 main cabinets, but taking my time not to mess it up - I will need to empty the cabinets before doing any work on it!
    Cheers! - Mark

    “Love those Amalgams (I assume) from Rossocorsa1... such nice display in those custom lit cabinets - nice job! Are you going to add new ones on top, or make a new tower?!“

    My intention is create another case, precisely like the others. I designed the double stack cases myself, and a cabinet display company made them for me.
