A solution for limited space

I have four ladder type shelf units, they are enough to display my bucket list, all 75 plus a few odd ones. I noticed that the top shelf, while holding three display cases, the top display is not visible (unless you are 7' tall!)So I devised a 30 degree tilt box made of mat board...it solved the problem...of course I bought the display cases years ago ...you cannot find them at a decent price anymore (1/18 scale) my collection and favored scale is 1/76, which helps a lot space wise and is very satisfying in detail work...The empty green bases are a reminder of the work to be done! I thought it might be useful to share

Neat solution to provide visibility of the whole (impressive) collection.

I like your solution for the top display shelf. May I borrow it (the idea that is)?

I just burn them when I'm done, and put the ashes in a little test tube. Saves lots of space.


yes I'm kidding.

Thanks for posting the picture of your display. Keeping the finished ones clean sitting on a shelve has always been a challenge. Your display ladder and cases would do well for that.

Don, I am far from my goal...I try to make the tank, it's spg version and a third one either command or recovery version ..so far only the Mk1 and the T38 have reached this status, the rest are the basic tanks! Elliot you can of course use the wedge solution, thank you. I appreciate your feedback everybody.
