Here's how I'm starting to organise my models in my new cabinets... Thursday, July the 30th, 2015... The cabinets still at my friend's office The movers doing their job They got home, intact! They needed to be cleaned... Friday, the 31st of July...4:00pm I decided that I needed to unpack the largest ones first, in order to see how much space they will require... My three 1:12s: Then, I began unpacking the 1:18s: And placing them where I thought they would be if ordered alphabetically... The first 1:18 to get a place in the cabinets! Jeff's favourite... The MINIs began to appear... Later that night, maybe around 11:30pm, this is how the cabinets were looking, although there were still a few (mostly the oldest Bburagos) to get unpacked! Saturday, August the 1st. During the morning the old Bburagos, the huge Corgis and a couple of other biggies got into the cabinets. This is how they looked on Saturday's night: Three cabinets were almost filled. One of the smaller ones needs some minor repairs. Today, Sunday the 2nd of August, I made some rough calculations, using regularly boxed Minichamps models as a measure, 25 models fit on each of the smaller cabinet's shelves, whereas 27 fit on the larger ones. These four cabinets will hardly be enough for my collection so, they will most likely be joined by some other cabinets or display units very soon. Stay tuned...

This is the only 1:43 model in my cabinets so far: Some days ago, I bought some glue to repair a model, and then remembered that I had to repair one of the mirrors of this Countach too. Once I repaired it, I decided to place this nice Lamborghini in its new home.

Got some more models into the cabinets. I'm still not sure whether to remove them from their plinths, or not. These are all preliminary arrangements... :? One of my two Austin-Healeys, and a taxi: Some of my DSs: Dacias and DeTomasos: Some nice Fiats and two big 1961 Imperials: A few Fords: A couple of Lambos, and some Maseratis: Lots of models from the Lancia collection: Big and small models: Looking like a very crowded parking lot:

I stopped adding photos to that thread in August of 2016, I will add some newer ones soon! Although I haven’t done much to the cabinets themselves I keep moving of some models around!

What an amazing collection Julio! Do you get the same response that I do when you walk into the room with your displays, that you just can't stop smiling when you look at your models? It's my best cure for life-related ailments.

Great and very varied collection Julio. To answer Tom's question, yes I do and I'm guessing that you do too. My model room is my happy place.

Cool collection and very nicely displayed Thanks, mate! I’m glad you’ve liked it! I must confess that these are old photos and that I keep reordering them, but the overall arrangement is still very much the same.
