I have been
making models since the 1960s and have quite a large collection, one of
my early problems was to find a satisfactory method of
displaying them. It didn't take long to find out that if they were
placed on a shelf or top of a wardrobe that inquisitive fingers, dust
and the odd passing animal was having a detrimental effect on their
appearance

|
The
answer was to invest in display cabinets, the first one came free
thanks to a relative, the second I bought in an old second hand
furniture shop - it cost £15,the varnish & sandpaper cost £2,however
it needed new glass which set me back £85 !!

Another
challenge was to persuade the lady of the house that a china cabinet
full of green/ grey painted plastic could be displayed in the Hall,
enter Yellow Sea King, Red-White-Grey Dominie, Silver Lightning, Black
Hawk with a few brightly coloured inter war types had the desired
effect.
Visitors
to the house now make comments "they're pretty" -
"I used to make them" - "I used to fly in that one"
- "worked on that - bloody awfulaircraft".
