Well done Mike, a very realistic display.

This thread has diverged from the intended subject somehwat, but that's not unusual, and I will contribute more to the divergent discussion, perhaps hoping for some diversity funds from our government ;) The Toy Soldier Hobby can be divided into numerous interests and scales, especially if...

I agree in theory, but reality is rarely simple, a bit like burying power lines to 'prevent' fires, just not practical in most cases. Military helicopters need to patrol high risk environments especially near Washington, to do that they also need to practise there. My understanding is that...

OK, that's about it, it's amazing how many models you can display in a relatively small space. Please post some of your display ideas here.

I also have some 'small' 1/30 scale sets, here's some JJD mixed with 'smaller' K & C and TGM sets.

And of course some K & C Command sets in the mix, including one of several Panzer Meyer sets I have/had. And no, that's not dirt on the base of that cabinet, it's rust. My house is between an Estuary and the Beach (Coral Sea), so no shortage of rust around here.

Some more TCS sets, including a Tiger tank...with Wittman. Plus Two King Tigers, the rare 'Porsche' turret version was difficult to get.

Some of my TCS and TGM collection, I still like these 'larger' 1/30 sets, plenty of opening hatches etc.

View from the doorway showing the 'front' side of the room. Yes ok, there's still an empty display unit in the 'bedroom' section, but I intend to sell it..honest ;)

Here's a photo from the other end of the room. My hobby space takes up about half of the original single garage, leaving approx 3m x 3m (10' x 10") space that serves as the 3rd bedroom, please note bottom edge of Queen sized bed in pic. Three open shelf display cabinets serve as a room divider...

Another pic of my Hobby Room/3rd Bedroom, this room was originally a single garage measuring approx 6m x 3m (20' x 10'). The cupboard in the corner hides the hot water system, there used be a space between that cabinet and the end cabinet where you could put another fridge or freezer. I don't...

Another cabinet converted for display. I only had to remove the doors, the shelves were strong enough and spacing ok for display use. I obtained a large base from Treefrog a few years back. It used to cover a dining table size Vietnam display in this room, but proved to be to large. I've since...

A quick pic of the larger cupboard with doors removed. I adjusted the shelf spacings to improve viewing and added support to the shelves for extra weight of polystone etc.

Lack of display space has always been an issue for collectors. A few years back I converted Two large cabinets into display areas, simply by removing the doors and modifying the shelves where necessary. Here's a photo of the top Two shelves of my largest cabinet that measures 210cm x 100cm x 60...

Yes, it certainly is an impressive diorama.

Mark, WOW that's a terrific display you have built, it must be a decent size to contain an aircraft, can you provide the dimensions.

I like the look of those road and sidewalk sections, would add some variety to my displays that are mostly jungle based.

Hey Victor, you should be able to get some adjustable temp strip leds. All the led downlights in my house have three temp options; 2500k, 4000k or 6000k, the later I only use in my hobby room as they're operating theater bright ha ha
