How I Display My Model Car Collection

[@robertwrenn5878]

Cool video! I used to build in the 60's and early 70's. I recently came back to the hobby in the last few years. Your videos are a great source of information and inspiration. I done a couple of dozen builds so far and use those clear plastic boxes for display. I have installed some shelves but will soon run out of room. It's good to see how you display your models and options you have tried. I like the custom shelf solution and will check them out. Cheers!

It is a crime that IKEA stopped making the Bertby. It's the best model display cabinet of all time.

[@rebeitler1]

Agreed. It was perfect

[@olegstepcenko74]

Need to flood IKEA with letters from collectors, that them need rerelease Bertby display cabinet!!!!📩📜📫

[@kiethpederson7558]

Correct I have one should’ve bought more. It is the perfect display for scale models cars anyways, maybe tanks to

[@crashandburngaming5103]

Dust......a modelers nightmare lol. I havent defeated it yet. Nice collection Cheers😊

Ive got billy book cases with glass shelves and doors for my 1:43/1:18, your right though its very expensive, but I've had them for nearly 7+ years, i painted the back board cream to set the cars off, i use a soft paint brush to dust mine

I found Cake Containers at an 1€-Shop that fit four cars. All my cars are perfectly preserved and I can neatly stack the Containers into my Side Boards. They are hidden but for what I have in Mind, I'd need a serious amount of Real Estate!

I built my own on my channel a few months back....already need to upsize. I'm building more than I have room for.

Nice video there, always nice to see new ideas about display cabinets. Thanks for the share.

[@hf7188]

You could do a barn find video for those "abandoned" models. Just a tease, dust will always be an issue.

[@ronstewart9792]

That is an awesome display case. Great video. Ron

Can you get tools specific to cleaning model cars? I often wondered if that's a thing!!

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Sure. Tamiya has anti static cleaning brushes

I also have this problem 😢😅

[@davidbeaulieu1305]

I'm genuinely curious (maybe I could challenge my perspective): How did you come to the conclusion that 1/24 model kits were worth collecting though they have close to no resale value and are not remotely close to what a 1/18 scale diecast metal model feels like? Is it that there is more models to chose from? Is it that 1/18 scale diecast are sometimes hard to undo for customization? Is it that personnal satisfaction is much greater with collecting model kits built ''from scratch''? Or else? I mean, you have some serious skills, but how do you view keeping all these plastic models now? (I began at 9 or 10, with aircraft plastic models too :) )

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

For me its simple. 1/24 is the standard scale for model kits in my country. I wanted to build models. Not just collect finished models. Plus, 1:18 diecast models need stripping etc before the modifications start. Thats a lot of work(that can damage parts, since they are not realy meant to be taken apart) before i can start doing the things i like doing. With kits i can pretty much start the build. And not have to tear it down. Also 1:18 is bigger, heavier and takes up even more space.

[@davidbeaulieu1305]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel Thanks for you feedback, I get it more now. It is more about the build, than it is about the showcasing of such models :)

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

@@davidbeaulieu1305 pretty much yes. Showcasing is about 20% of the fun for me. As you could see from the neglect🫣😋

Why not selling the built scale models?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

They don’t bring enough money to make it “worth it”

[@crashandburngaming5103]

It's a labour's of love lol. Very few can do it as a profession.

[@glenmiller272]

​@@TheScalemodelingChannel I sometimes sell 'as is' dust and all, you'll be surprised how many people buy these to strip and rebuild, I know you lose money, but at least you've had the enjoyment of building them...
