Gosh, I just remembered that I have a number of aircraft models stored somewhere in my storeroom. They were b'day presents from friends more than 10 years ago. Mig-29, SR-71 and F-14 are some of the models that I can remember. The decals must be yellowish by now.
 Want to assemble them but no tools, no time. This post has been edited by hornetEJ: May 11 2006, 12:58 PM |

QUOTE(songcm @ Jan 8 2013, 06:15 PM) The Detolf is cheap n good but dem heavy....4 sided glass songcm, I made some arcylic boxes and managed to add another layer in between the shelf. So instead of 4 layers, I can possibly have 8 layers. Had one done last week, maybe going to do a couple more this weekend.My only complain is that the individual shelf height is kinda high and hence the waste of space Ikea used to have another model .... 3 sided glass with wooden backing and the cornering is also wood. At least I managed to create more shelves but inserting more levels...too bad they don sell these anymore I have 3 detolf cabinets and 1 of the wood+glass cabinet.....soon I will need to pack all my models in the boxes liao...... |

QUOTE(songcm @ Jan 8 2013, 09:08 PM) Err....where? Sorry, didn't realized the attachments didn't work the first time round. Sorry for the pictures which are sideways..... not sure why but even if I rotate the pictures and re-saved, they still appear sideways. |

QUOTE(songcm @ Jan 9 2013, 06:04 AM) Thanks for the pic. Yes, glued the arcylic panels together using adhesive. The arcylic panels were actually leftover from my brother's architecture projects. These panels are harder to find i.e. they are not available at normal stationery shops. You have to go to those shops specializing in arts materials especially those that sells materials for architecture models.How do u make them? U glue 3-4 pieces of arcylic panels together to make a box and place them on the selves? Where do u get these arcylic panels? Currently working on converting one of my wall mounted cabinet to display aircraft models. Still long way to go |

QUOTE(songcm @ Jan 13 2013, 12:12 AM) The best part is no need more floor space for mrs to complain..... I was planning to get another Detolf and migrate some of the planes over to the new one. Now I can delay doing that   She might not even realize we gotten more jets! Can start bringing out aircraft models from the box once the glass panels are ready |

QUOTE(songcm @ Jan 13 2013, 03:15 PM) Managed to buy the nuts today but glass shop was closed. Looks like need to cut the glasses slightly wider and deeper, 0.5 cm and 1 cm respectively so that it is more stable. Yes, 1/2 extra on both sides should be good |
