I was going to display mine behind glass - saves on dusting, and, as previously mentioned takes them from the 'hoarding' (or, 'why have you got that old tat') scenario to the 'interesting old artefact' - or 'they don't make them like that anymore' scenario :-D |

I need to acquire a lot more 'glass' to achieve this goal for all my artefacts, I think :-D |

Talking of hiding things behind glass, we got a double glazed sliding window in one of the alcoves with about 200 dinky models. saves on dusting them and in the yrs we have had it not one of the kids have attempted to open the door/window to reach in for a car. with 3 boys that aint bad. |
