Jim, some superb models there, but the display case is just not right :shock:, clearly not designed for diecast model cars and does do any justice to these models in any way.....it is just my opinion but i think the display is too futuristic when a more traditional display case would be better suited to the genre.

BTW i love the blue interior AMX Javelin....has been on my want list for a very very long time :x

Some very fine models! I have two of those Timex display cases. I cut heavy colored paper for each shelf to cover the openings so the cars wheels wouldn't fall through.

Really nice models Jim. There is something that disturbs me about the display though. I think it's that the models are touching each other and the angle makes it looks like they could fall. I find myself getting anxious ;)

I get anxious too but never had one fall. They are very close but none actually touching. I wish I had more room to set them apart and display them better. Maybe as I get the displays set, I can update them too. Thanks for your comments. Well taken,
