Scored a display cabinet, and stuck the L700 car hauler loaded with promos in it. Also finally un-boxed stuff I haven't seen in 20 years and stuffed the case with that. Still need to put the 2 Road Runners in it, and then I'll need to figure something out for the next bunch of cars I want to build. So, thought I'd post up some photos. Oh crap, they're on my phone ...well, gimme a little time then, sorry for the false alarm.

Your car transporter looks awesome with the load of Mopars on it. I like your new display case to I’ve been looking for one like that but have not been able to find any.

Thanks, Dan - that was the idea from the outset, figured it should be put to work haha. Found the case at a 2nd-hand store, paid $150. FB Marketplace had a bunch of 'em, anywhere from $65 - $500 depending on size, shape and quality. FB works kinda like CL for me, though; folks don't reply or follow through.

Thanks for the compliments. Actually there's stuff all over the house: a room full of 1/18, car show trophies, advertising & collected stuff, a small case in the "office room", scale Spitfires & other stuff I've collected all over the house...maybe kinda nuts to some people. In a sense it's like living in a museum, though it pales in comparison to some guys I know. Often good for a laugh or an uplift.

Here's what I mean by museum, and most every piece has a story. For example, in the sideboard shot, there's a little china dog: Dad won that for Mom on their 1st date.
