very nice looking self and I like the spot you found for it. It looks like with the sun out the sets get illuminated well and with the glass shelf's the light travels well through the whole thing. Great idea
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Good idea and nice displays, bb!  8-)
But watch out with white parts, especially from older sets; they might discolour by the sunlight.

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Thanks everyone!

Good point! They don't get direct sunlight, at least, because it's a north window and under a porch. But still, that's a good reason to keep the displays rotating, which I like to do anyway, so nothing is exposed to the sun for too long.

Lovely, great way to show several displays at once!

I really like the underwater world underneath the boats and sunbathing clickies  :)

Nice display, bb. Maybe you could also have a plane circling over the shelf. 😁

Thanks, guys.

Arnaud, I would, but I can't put holes in the ceiling. :( We used to have that big plane hanging from the A/C vent in the ceiling, though.

I've thought it would be cool to do space exploration on the top shelf, then airplanes on the next, then swiss alps, then boats on the ocean, then underwater, moving on down through the altitudes. :lol: Or I could move down through history, starting with the dinosaurs. ;D Then cavemen, egyptians, romans, pirates, western.

So many good ideas, don't stick to just one display. Keep this one for a few weeks/months and show us the next! 😁

They have those sticky pads that are removable and have a plastic hook on them. The big ones are very strong

Interesting ideas. Maybe you could do an underworld one under the ocean, all zombies like its klicky hell  :lol:

Will do! The fun is in setting them up -- after that they just sit and collect dust.
