Due to the recent completion of a number of large models I have recently finished, I have had to buy bigger display cases. These are from the IVAR range from IKEA. (Still not big enough for the B52 though)

Due to lot of emails I have recieved recently, I have taken some more photos today to show how my display cases are filling up.

I now have my third silver display case so I have some more room for my kits to be built.
I have split the Ikea Cabinets and moved them to the landing ...
and here are the other two silver cabinets, now full. You can see the new silver cabinet in the reflections.
I decided to try and utilise the cabinets space a bit more by adding some more shelves. After searching around on the web, I found this company theplasticshop.co.uk which have a "cut to size" section, and ordered 8 perspex sheets - 613x248x5mm. Two days later they arrived. I then partly dissambled one cabinet and redrilled the shelf support locating holes, for the 8 existing glass shelves, and then the same again on a second cabinet for the new perspex shelves.
Here are the results - perspex on the left, glass on the right. Lots more space (about another year or two of building). Extra shelf support from B&Q hardware.
