Not so much acrilic cases but like garage setups. Or race tracks. Have quite a few gmps and not sure how I want to display them. Don't really want to just keep them in the box
 
My garage has over 11 glass display cases.
Big ones to.
Six of them are 6 foot tall, and the others are waist high.
Only 4 of the tall display cases are filled with diecast.
Two are the 1/18th scale cars, the other two are the 1/24th scale cars.
All the others are filled with parts and displays of stuff.
Everything I have is 99% Firebird related.
My GN stuff is either in boxes, or sitting on top of a glass display case, still in the boxes that they came it.
I'll have to post pictures-if someone still wants to see them.

I have a "rotating" collection. My display case holds only (8) 1:18 scale cars at a time so I'm constantly moving new and old stock around.

The display currently houses a portion of my '70-'71 GS/GSX collection, but that's gonna change soon. I'll let my 8 yr old son pick the next "theme".

I've been called worse ;)

Guess thats what happens when you have too much free time on your hands.

Personally, I like to "see" the cars, not just have them stored in the boxes in the back of a closet collecting dust....

Kinda like the real car being a garage queen & never driven.

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Here's some pics of "some" of the others:

(all sitting behind plexiglass to keep the dust {+ the family's kids} out! :biggrin: )

a few more. The cabinet is almost 25 feet long & 3 feet tall (above the table top) & this room was built FOR displaying these items. Nice home office, don't you agree? :cool:

No problem guys,
Just remember though, these are all Trans Ams and Firebirds.
I won't go into all the big intro, but here are some photos of some of my collection.

I have so much more, but I'll filled this up with quite a few pictures.
And no, I have no store.
This is all my retirement.
I do sell it off, piece by piece.
Although I tend to fill up the garage with more every day, much faster than what I sell. :rolleyes:
I even have parts displayed, and literature, including Firebird/Trans Am ads.
Just no room for my posters that are framed.

Let me know if you want more.:eek:

George :cool:
