Pretty great collection - but if you're thinking you need more room - maybe it's time to thin the collection!

The display cases (clear covers) were made by a local display company here in Ajax Ontario Canada. The base is custom cut stretched Canvas frame screwed to a piece of 1/2 inch plywood with black edging. I rested the model base in that and covered it with an acrylic mirror with a hole cut in it large enough for the stand to stick through. The covers cost me between $150 to $250 (when the price of oil went up). The custom frames were roughly $45.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Consider yourself lucky...most of us have to cram our stuff into one room. Love the collection, especially the dragons and Imperial Walker. It's all soooo tidy!

I love your Oxmox stuff, do you mind if I ask what the going rate on a life size raptor is.

I am not totally sure but I think they are going for around $3500 plus shipping. You would have to contact Oxmox to be sure. I know their full size T-Rex head is $6000.

You are right about that. I should count my blessings.
