Default Look what i did today

Put up three cabinets for my models, look quite good i think,

one for random super cars, one for my escort cosworths and another for my BM's























i did have one cabinet but now upgraded to 3
some are worth a small fortune, especially the cosworths, long out of production and the company who made them ceased trading many years ago as many of you know

some go for well over £100 on ebay, i have many many more, but im afraid reside in the loft
what do you guys rekon??
