Thanks. I’ve found those shelves on Amazon. I’ve been slowly been replacing all my old shelves with these. They take up less physical space, but have more shelf space. Think they’re like $45 each, they’re easy to assemble, lightweight, but strurdy. That first pic is a bit out of date because I still have an old half barely visible on the RH side. I’m almost all the way down that wall now. Think I have enough room for about three more and I’ll be done. But I already have a ton of extra shelf space already.

I’ve kicked around that idea. I’ve been playing around with AI photos of some of my builds lately that I think would make some good diorama ideas:

Sadly, all my real firearms were lost in a tragic boating accident that left all of them at the bottom of the Tennessee River.

Vader, to what does this refer?
Always enjoy seeing your models!

That’s the location and timeframe of the actual vehicle or aircraft I’ve built. Most often I get this information from the instructions from thr kit. Other times, I have to do some research to determine it. This Chieftain is such an example as the kit instructions only told that it was in West Germany, but gave no other information about timeframe or even the unit. Amazingly, I was able to Google the “tag” number of this tank to detriment its unit, location, and even timeframe.
So this particular tank was assigned to the 17th/21st Lancers Regiment of the 4th Armoured Brigade of the British Army of the Rhine. And it was located in
Munster, West Germany in 1979.
