I have this sudden interest in 1/18th scale die cast .
Have a 69,73,77 and a few turbos recently .
Heres my question though , I was debating to cut a huge hole in my living room wall and build a display shelf for my collection .
Maybe 3 feet high by 8 feet wide . The most I can embed the display is 3.5 inches and I was going to have it protrude a few inches out the wall as I want to keep it deep so I may be able to turn the models a bit instead of just looking at there profiles .
Going to use ash wood stained black around perimeter and have approx 3 shelves deep . Want to put mirror on the back and LEDs on a dimmer switch to highlight the models .
Now do you think having something like this on the side of a living room wall above a love seat would look tacky? Maybe better for an office ?
