Model Storage
« on: December 31, 2012, 10:17:10 PM »
I have been at this model building thing for a while now. I have models on counter tops and work benches and tucked away all over. I cant bring them in the house because they smell like gas. I was thinking about building shelves and covering them to keep the dirt off the models. They get dirty fast in the garage.

I started searching Craigslist and found this thing on there for 50 bucks. The cabinets have alot of fixtures and stuff in them. Above that there are 2 drawers with all my plans and cigar boxes with small parts. Above that are 6 shelves with all the models. I couldn't buy a sheet of plywood for 50 bucks and I got this solid oak shelf unit complete. The light bulbs above the shelves still work. If you are having the same problem I was, Craigslist might work out for you too.
