You guys have very nice collections there. These dioramas are brilliant.
The old rusty shelf looks brilliant. And this large unit is just perfect for such a valuable collection.

Thanks for posting all these great pictures.

Panzerace,
I prefer to keep them small. I love detail.I think that is the fun of making a dio.Put in as much detail as possible.But always based on reality.I spend more time on research than on making the dio.I gather all the info I can about a WWII picture or a quote in a book( do you know the series 39/45 published by Heimdahl ? Every article is detailed, hour per hour, battalion per battalion, and even company by company and illustrated with magnificent pictures never published before)
Keeping my dios small is also a question of space .I prefer to have 5 small dios on a shelf above 1 big one .

Guy, Sounds like you give a good plan for your dio's !!! ^&grin

Alex, I have the exact same large standing curio cabinet that you use. I find it works great for displaying collections such as ours. :wink2:

So...I'm wondering about the second picture, did it all start out as three custom glass cabinets for this purpose...then it ran over to the sides because the planned glass area wasn't enough? Because what I see is planned bookshelves on each side??? I'm curious to know the facts because when I build my display cabinets I wanna know if the planning goes out the window!

Just got back from a vacation trip.

They were suppose to be book shelves but ran out of space quick. :smile2:

I remember when you started those cabinets, back in the day....Good to see them full.........Looks Great. Alex

Yes I remember, thanks.
