A quick shot of the fuze-wall before the pictures come down to make more shelves!
There are more fuzes either side and beneath the picture,so its time to something about my favourite collectible.
I was thinking of mounting more shelves and displaying each fuze stood up using a transport plug?
Have previously thought of perspex holders to show the fuzes but that idea turned out to be both expensive and a ballache...

Hopefully i get round to finishing this side of the room quicker than ive threatened to decorate the rest of the house...:tinysmile_fatgrin_t

cheers

From the photo I can see why you need the extra shelving!! Great collection you have there Waff.

Dont forget to do an extra shelf or two......I'm sure you will be adding to them before too long!!

regards Kev
 
Cheers lads,

Will prolly only add a couple more shelves as it really is a small room,im amazed how the hell ive packed so much in!

Opposite are all the heavy rounds,but being the outer wall they will have to stay there. Im kinda hoping to create a shelf for a small V1 dispaly and one to put the SD-2's on or hang them up from the ceiling? Some of the FLak packing boxes and larger crates may soon be sold or confined to the loft.
I bought a shed load of those bakelite transport caps,so thats a goer for the fuzes.

Dear God no Mig!
Its a third bedroom,morelike a boxroom. I wouldnt like to put a bed in there.Would prob feel like a bloody prison cell!
I have a dehumidifier tray of crystals and keep blind down at all times. I notice the shells on my fireplace soon pick up a slight rust coating now and again so i have to keep those clean.
To me,you really shouldnt keep items in the living room(or bedroom) due to dust(or nicotine),condensation etc..
