Great work Paul, I wish I was as good as you are in doing this kind of display. Alas my imagination is dormant and my hands on skills negligible.

Very nice Paul. Further to Martin's point, I figure you could create a "nice little earner" selling these on eBay if you so choose.

They all look fabulous! ❣️ Cheers Julio, you are very kind What are the museums hours? Should you ever be over this side of "The Pond" Jeff just call, museum will be open. Thanks Tom. My first question is, are you taking orders?? I am checking out the price of getting a container of Alfa models to you for similar treatment . Fantastic work! Interesting that you mention orders Martin. Now that I have slim-lined production my intention will I think be to sell a few at selected motorsport/classic car type events. However, shipping out will be a bridge to far at the moment due to size, cost and protection needed. Shame, I would love to assist you. Stunning - you are a MASTER at the 'art' of display! If I may ask, how much space or square footage do you have in the museum? That is very kind of you to say so Brooks. I do have a reasonable sized empty wall awaiting decoration........ Wonderful work there Paul! A group of Tham would/will make a very impressive display! Yes, working on that very idea Jerry. More to follow once I obtain more frame moulding.

Great work Paul, I wish I was as good as you are in doing this kind of display. Alas my imagination is dormant and my hands on skills negligible. Give it a go Paul. You will surprise yourself. I had some failures along the way but tried different approaches/materials. Practice makes perfect. Very nice Paul. Further to Martin's point, I figure you could create a "nice little earner" selling these on eBay if you so choose. Again Ian you are ahead. I'm considering building up some stock for an indoor sale of some sort later in the year. I might use eBay as an initial measure of interest.

I have now run out of frame moulding for these shadow boxes so need to order in more supplies. Looking at my 70's model cabinet the other day I found this IXO Renault A442 in a lost corner. Therefore have added to my portfolio.

The model lends itself well to this kind of presentation, and you've done a great job. Another success.

A variation on the theme....
The next creation of displaying using picture frame materials is to use a Perspex cover within the frame..... like so
Now hanging on the wall.

That looks extremely nice too!!! ❣️
I like the idea of coordinating the colour of the frame with the car and/or livery!

Both the yellow and blue additions look great. I really like the Duckhams one. Actually it reminds me that I have a gallon can of Duckhams 20/50 classic oil in my garage awaiting its chance to be poured into my Anglia's engine after which I shall unleash its mighty 39bhp onto the potholed roads of Lincolnshire.

As an Audi fan I approve wholeheartedly! Ace execution, as usual.
