I have a cabinet that houses 14 of my 1:18 classics, and the rest of my 1:18s are in their boxes stacked up trapping me in my bed room.

I have them displayed in a shelf, on top of each other. Generally, I like to display the sponsor stuff near the car. IE: I plan to place a bottle of Stella Artois beer near my Stella sponsored Honda Accord. Ditto, I now have a bottle of Watson's water standing near by Watson sponsored BMW!

I just have my 1/18 and 1/24 sitting on a shelf on display. Nothing fancy.
My 1/10 RC cars....they are used very often and my 'workshop' is a mess: http://gazdesigns.fpic.co.uk/p8769117.html http://gazdesigns.fpic.co.uk/p8769118.html |

Well, soon I'll be moving a bloody great box of models into the loft along with hundreds of books and magazines. I literally cannot move for stuff, I a seem to be afraid to throw anything out!

Well I may be selling the whole lot in the future with getting my new kart and everything.
If anyone is interested PM me in the future. I have: most of the Ayrton Senna collection, classic 1:18 (mininchamps) and 1:18 modern cars including Schumacher and Buttons cars. I also have Le mans sports cars. About 30 in all. |

I've got a couple of these - http://www.picture-pride-displays.co.uk/racing-1.htm
Not especially cheap but very well made and very good at keeping the dust out. |

They're nice cabinets, Nige, I'll probably buy one for my office when I've finally filled my new cabinets which I've just bought! I didn't like the look of them, to be honest, from the flyer I picked up from Picture Pride but was really quite impressed when I went to their workshops to collect mine on the way back from Manchester the other day. I can heartily recommend them to anyone who is looking...!
Here is my (pretty poorly filled at present!) display cabinet - which I commissioned Picture Pride to build for me. Looks kinda pathetic up against the one in the original link I posted! There are still two or three gaps in the Senna 1:18 collection as I am waiting for them to be delivered. I am hoping to fill the bottom cabinet with winning LM cars and I am considering adding a number of Nascar cars too - how times changes, eh - who'd have thought I'd become a 'Nastycar'  fan!!! hehe

Mine are wherever I've got shelf space for the 1:43's, and most of my 1:18's are on clear display boxes on my bookshelf, the rest are on my piano.

I've got 4 cabinets, each 30" x 30" with 4 inch depth.
9 shelves each - get about 60 in a cabinet. Mike - I get these from Ipswich - dscshowcases. He'll make any size to order, with a choice of background colours and wood |
