I could probably send some stuff once I get some free time. Is there any deadline?

Simple stands - the rockets should stand on their bases (unless the cabinet takes a lot of hits) and the space probes can sit on the surface. A quick solution is PVC pipe bits if you think you need to elevate an item (or just roll up some paper into cylinders). Message should be: really neat car/ship/tank/rocket that you can build yourself!

thanks yogi

I am probably going to whip up some stands like what Don Boose did at the convention - recycle some cardboard!

Well, the Huey was in rougher shape than I realized - faded ink (built in my pre-spray-sealing days), sagging/broken rotor bits, and bent landing skids. It also didn't fit in the box I found so it's just going to get scrapped.

The starships Enterprise are all three packed up and heading north. Be sure to post pics of the display when set up!

Display info on the way ... any feedback on how well the packing job worked?

Find all the little bits? Anything squashed?

Just a bump so you don't forget to post pictures of the display once you set it up ... along with any lessons learned, practical tips, how to, etc.

yep will do I opted against using little display stands since they were glass shelves I thought it would be nice for them to a get a better view of the bottoms of the models too
