don´t you have the same problem??? this are the models I builded in the past one and a half year, allmost all in Argentinian colours…
I started to store the oldest models (all the non argentinian subjets jajaja) in boxes…
looks familiar to you? I think this is a issue to every modeler in the world hahaha

You are probably correct. I store my oldest models in boxes to make room for the newer ones. I have also donated several to local schools and a couple of museums.

do you know what you want to do !!, get yourself some 10mm wood dowling and a large thin sheet of ply wood say 5mm, make a base out of a piece of the ply wood say 4 inch square then cut a lengh of dowl so it is well above your models then cut out a piece of ply to the size of the models undercarriage wheels, glue or screw the ply parts to the dowl rod… thus making a tall stand. this way you can get models in between and above [:D] i’ve done it.

I get ya! Granted cars take up less space than planes, I’m still beginning to have trouble figuring out where to put them all. And don’t get me started on Armor…[8-]
SHHEEESH, what a show off!! Just kidding. nice models!I havent even finished ONE yet!..Harv
Maybe it’s time to start assembling the ceiling Air Force??[:)]
What I do is store most of them and display just a few, then rotate your displays every few months or so. You’d be surprised how you’ll enjoy your collection every time you pull them out of storage! It’s almost like they are brand-new again!
This is one of those problems that is nice to have. If I finish three a year, Im doing something.
I currently have enough kits to build into 2115…
I do like the interleaved stand idea, though.
LOVE THE PLANES!
…especially neat-o F-89!
I put up high shelves on the wall about a foot and a half down from the ceiling for my small models and the rest are hanging from the ceiling. Cleaning day is especially fun because I “fly” 'em a around to dry 'em off…

I’ve got two extra bedrooms that I can set up with a LOT of shelves if you need a place to STORE them.[;)][;)]

Jeremias,
I know you can pack 'em in tighter than that… See…[:)]

Have you thought of suspending future builds from the ceiling or wall? You can even suspend some of your current one’s how they are now and depict them landing or flying ‘low and dirty’.
What plane is that down in the bottom left hand corner?
“Wowawoowa! Your models are very nice. HIGH FIVE”. (Borat)
I had the same problem - as you see on pictures below - there was two of my three display cases.
To dissolve the problem, I had to build a new house (at least, my wifie says so [8D]) with new display space for my planes !
and now, you see new shelves waiting for" ferry " [:)]
You are sick!
HAA!
Bossman, what is the story of the black and white Spitfire?
That’s cool!!!
Me, I just put the models wherever they fit. And I am running out of room.
More shelves. I say, More Shelves!
Glue -
The black and white is only on the underside of the Spit. It was a scheme that was used on some planes, early on in the Battle of Britain. I think the Airfix instructions said that this was from around 1939. The topside is the standard Dark Green / Dark Earth.
I gotta ask - How’d you come up with the cool screen name ?
Chris
ok, at least I´m not the only one with this problem hehehe. and the thing is going to get worse, I´m having time to build…
It´s a good idea rotate the planes stored in the boxes with those in the display cases… I will try that
best regards

The jet?..I believe it’s an A-8 Corsair II
Actually it’s an A-7 Corsair II.
All those together look really great! Neat-o
