Tips for storing model cars

I have 5 Lamborhgini (Murcielago, Gallardo & Reventon) and 1 Audi R8 model cars in my collection.  The Lamborghinis are made by Bburago while the Audi R8 is made by Maisto.  These cars are in the 1:24 scale, which is my preferred size for model cars.  The cars all came attached (by 1 or 2 screws) to a black base which also have a shiny sticker stating their car models. 

The best way to keep these cars would be to display them (together with their respective bases) in a glass cabinet.  If you are displaying the cars on exposed shelves,  you can also look for a clear plastic cover that can encase the whole car and its base.  Such clear plastic covers should be available in model car shops.

Then again, these model cars are not very tall, hence it can be a waste of space to display them in a show case which has a lot of empty spaces on top of them.  If you place the shelves too close together, you can’t view the cars properly.  You need to adjust the height spaces between the shelves to get the best display view.

For me, I have long ran out of display cabinet spaces so I keep all my beloved cars in a shallow drawer.  As the cars have  wheels, they tend to move easily on their own a bit whenever the drawer is being opened or closed.  No matter how slowly I do it, they might move a little at times. 

To minimize the movement of the cars, I place them facing to the sides of the drawer, instead of facing the front or the back of the drawer.  So far, this placement method works fine for me.  If you are still insecure and worry about bumping your cars against the sides of the drawers, you can also secure your cars to their original bases before storing them in the drawer.

These are all I have for today.  Thanks for reading and coming by!
