Your road base looks fantastic. I just couldn't leave the Matchbox Roadway in a box. Fun how we all independently find ways to display our hobby. I will probably steal your ideas too. I will be taking you up on the bourbon and cigars!! Cheers, Macdonaldoldfart wrote:Thanks for the great comments guys! It is appreciated.
As for the workshop I built it and everything in it about two years ago right after I first retired. It is my man cave, complete with neon signs, old radios and of course a full wet bar. Now if you want to visit I even have very good Kentucky bourbon and fine cigars to make my visitors feel comfortable. So please come by and visit.
Now as to Ghosthunters question. I have always wanted a way to display the several different components of my Matchbox collection. I had previously made a display case for my Regular Series cars but it didn't satisfy me as it only showed one aspect of my collection. One day when my son was visiting (about two years ago) and we were discussing my collection, he said, "Dad, why not buy a display case and use the Matchbox Build a Road as a base to display your cars, trucks and stations. That is when the idea first struck me. After a lot of planning and design work I have come to this point. Now within a week I will have the glass and all will be complete.
At MacDonald...Outstanding idea! Never even thought about using the Matchbox Motorway in a display. I just LOVE what you have done. Now you got me thinking HARD. LOL
