Thanks. Most dioramas are ground based, so I thought the C-47 and Horsa glider combo was a bit different. All of my "in-flight" aircraft have pilots and some have additional crew members (pause the C-47 and you can just make out the crewman standing in the loading door).
That's what I'm doing. Ceiling hangers are 1/72 with aircrew naturally inside and simulated spinning props. My ground sitters are 1/48 usually on with a small diorama display. I'm following a theme of South West Pacific AO and RAAF. Your display looks terrific. I'm trying to make my room like a museum / library. Cheers 🍻🇦🇺
Yes, you definitely need the space in order to display models of this size, which is why I hang the biggest ones from the ceiling. I built that B-52D back in 2001, and its been hanging there ever since....
Cool models, I'm just about to get back into modelling and wanted to decide on a scale. Think I'm going to start a 1/48 collection for the beefy bombers 😄
Nice collection! Good job! 👍 I suggest you display your precious models in glass display cabinets to keep them safe from dust and unauthorized hands. That’s what I did with my entire 1/48 scale military aircraft collection which totals about 92 models displayed in 4 rooms of my house. (All fighters & twin-engined bombers - props & jets) With all my models displayed in the cabinets, my collection appears attractive, curiously interesting and professional, like a miniature museum. This way my rooms don’t look like a kid’s room, toy store or a hobby shop. There are also “curio cabinets” made of wood or metal framed furniture construction, with multiple glass shelves, mirrored backgrounds, panoramic frameless glass viewing with hinged or sliding glass doors. Locking doors are also available, if desired. Some cabinet designs are tall towers with multiple glass shelves, some are lower with 1 to 3 glass shelves, some are designed to fit in a corner, depending on the style. Since I have many models, I had to have additional glass shelves made by a local glass shop and buy additional shelf mounting brackets which are available at any hardware or home improvement store like Home Depot. The interior cabinet frames are pre-drilled for installing the shelf brackets to mount the shelves at various locations to form many levels. I have displayed all my models in the cabinets for 5 years now and I never had to dust any of them! They all look attractive, clean and untouchable! Google “Curio Cabinets” and check them out. 👍.
very nice collection, you did very good build sir, thank you for sharing, I have a lot of models but most were made when I was a kid and I made quantity over quality. I was in an arms race with a friend lol.
It's on my list. However, I'm at the point now that when I add something new to a shelf, something old has to be taken away. And due to the small size of my model rooms, adding more shelves is not an option.
Yup. I tried using an airbrush some years ago, but the cleaning ritual required just to change colors was ridiculous. Today you can get almost any color you need in a spray can, without all the hassle.
I believe the word is "weathering" and I've seen many collections like mine (30+ aircraft) all weathered and sitting on shelves like mine. Unfortunately, they looked like they just came out of a dirty closet. I think weathering is great if you're creating a diorama scene with one or two planes, but weathering a dozen or more for a shelf display just looks God awful.....
@@dennisspost4328 I know that some model aircraft guys are good at weathering and they look convincing to the scale, but I prefer the clean look myself. After all, newly built aircraft looked pristine off the assembly line didn't they? They didn't always look beat all to hell. I've been to Aviation museums and saw many fighters and bombers with the original paint and they don't look like that!
Exactly. As I stated above, if you're doing a diorama scene, weathering the aircraft and vehicles looks great (almost required). But when it comes to shelf displays, I think the aircraft need to look pristine, like in a museum.
Good question, but one I just cannot answer definitively. My father first built them for me when I was a kid, and then I began building them myself probably around age 7 or 8. However, I do remember that I never painted any of my early models.
Excellent collection, but I think you really need some good solid display cabinets to protect your models, they're going to collect a lot of dust and you've obviously spent a lot of time and money on them.
Thought of that years ago, but the rooms are too small for cabinets. Besides, I actually enjoy dusting them once a month and rearranging them on the shelves.
Hello Dennis I’ve just watched your video showing the world war 2 room I’d like at some time in the future so something similar but as a beginner to the hobby I feel I need to start with models that are simple and I can learn as I go along I’ve watched some videos on face book and they seem to have so much equipment etc I’ve seen some box retires showing level 2, 3, going up to level 7 which I know would be to difficult for me so please can you advice a few 1/72 scale British fighter planes that would help a new beginner to get started if you can add the equipment you use this would be very welcome I have just subscribed and liked your video . Paul
Well, most of the fighters I've built (including British) have been in 1/48 scale. However, all of the bombers that you see hanging from the ceiling are 1/72 scale. Being of an older generation, I grew up with Revell and Monogram kits. They had good detail and were easy to build. Some of the more expensive kits that I've built such as Hasegawa and Tamiya also went together well and had awesome detail. If your preference is 1/72 scale fighters, any manufacturer would probably be OK as things can't get too complicated in a smaller scale. As far as equipment is concerned, I keep it simple. A sharp Exacto knife, some fine sandpaper, Testors cement and Loctite super glue, and a lot of small bottles of military paints (the instructions usually tell you what colors to use). I do not own an air brush and prefer to use Testors and Tamiya paints in spray cans. Hope this was helpful and happy building....
Great collection. It must take you ages to dust them? They really work suspended like that, I did that back in the day, but considering going back to suspending the odd one, as running out of room. Many thanks for sharing your collection.
Thanks. Yes, I dust them all myself once a month (I wouldn't trust anyone else handling them). Space is always an issue when adding something new. I now have to remove/store one before placing a new one on the shelf. I actually had a lot more hanging from the ceilings, but they got to be a real pain in the neck (literally) to dust every month....
I'm not sure you meant this comment for me, but I own (and live) in my own home and my mom has never lived here. Also, I do not know anyone named Cliff Claven.

Thank you for sharing! Wonderful collection and work!
Beautiful WW2 aircraft collection!
The C47 towing the Horsa glider is a really great scene, too!

Great modeling work!
(I have an old 1/48 scale monogram C 47, I hope to eventually build).
It's great you have pilots and ground crew!
Some lovely models...thanks for sharing them.
Awesome collection, so envious of display capability, well done. So many kits to build these days so little time
I love your collection ww2 air craft.
Very nice models you built. Thanks for showing!
Fantastic collection!

Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m sure many a modeler can relate to the work involved and/or are envious of the space ! Thanks.
Yes, space is always a limitation. I have many more in both scales that are not on display.
Great detail and finish.
wow, he is crazy like me.
Good Job, my friend. Congrats. André-Brazil. 🇧🇷
Beautiful Models, I love the 1/48 P-38 Lightning, very nice
Great collection !
A nice detail making p-39, p-40, p-47, p-38 close together
Thanks. It was intentional.
What is the brand of the p-47 and the p-38, p-40?
You got all if the planes that I wanted with the best color even using a spraycan
The P-47 was a Monogram kit, the P-38 was a Revell kit, and the P-40 was an AMT/ERTL kit.
@@dennisspost4328 thanks
love that b-52 wish i could build mine but my house in not large enough to display it

Fantastic!
My man! I thought I was the only dude using spray cans lol..If done right you can get identical result of airbrush!
Yup. I tried using an airbrush some years ago, but the cleaning ritual required just to change colors was ridiculous. Today you can get almost any color you need in a spray can, without all the hassle.
I use them for light problem colours such as trainer yellow and white work well for me
Woow exelentes modelos!!

REVELL P-38J LIGHTNING (#85-5479), MONOGRAM TBF AVENGER (#5210), and ACADEMY PBY-5A CATALINA (#12487).
@@dennisspost4328 Thanks for the Information!
I don't know why two of the manufacturer's part numbers have links. I did not do that.
@@dennisspost4328 hm, maybe its because of the Slash in 85-5479
amazing collection! i wonder what's your first ever model?!
Good question, but one I just cannot answer definitively. My father first built them for me when I was a kid, and then I began building them myself probably around age 7 or 8. However, I do remember that I never painted any of my early models.
The Grumman DUCK!.
Nice kolection but can u close the Window on the bf109?
No. All of the open canopies on my aircraft are glued in place.
