This is easy if you have some Woodworking skills.

Just four pieces of wood, Some shelve supports, and a couple door slides. Then get some glass cut for the doors and shelves. Nothing to it.

Something to do in the long cold winter.

That really is such a gret way to go, Tom.
It make more sence than those 6-car plastic display cases for sure. You end up with something far better.
Your right, it's pretty dern simple - and cheap too, glass is cheap and there really isn't that much else to it.
Thanks Tom, you talked me into it!!!

hurmmm, looks like I might do that with mine possibly, I'm having a problem with the cars wanting to roll off (because I have them at an angle, don't like just a side view)

I took some 30 bookshelves from Big Lots, and some prefinished hardwood flooring from my work (hey, they werre going to throw it away!)

Heres what mine looks like, I liked the concept in my head, but the execution of it was kinda weak. Its like a stair step

I had the same problem on one of my shelves. To keep the cars from rolling off i placed a thin strip of balsa wood at the front of each shelve. :wave:
